#42 Quick Focus! How To Write A Toast

A bonus Quick Focus episode! Who gives a toast? Typically, two ‘honored attendants’ give a toast during dinner. (The Best Man, and the Maid of Honor, for example.) A parents or relative may give a Welcome Toast before dinner starts, and a lot of times, we see the couple themselves give a toast before they cut the cake. The content of a great wedding toast follows this simple formula: A brief history of your personal relationship to the bride/groom and why you think they are so so special An anecdote about the couple proving how awesome they are together A wish for the couple or a ‘May Your Life always…’ heartfelt sentiment for their wedding day An actual toast - ‘To Lauren and Blake!’ or ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, to the couple!’ Keep the following in mind: Introduce yourself Thank the hosts End with an actual proclamation of Toasting the couple! And introduce the next toaster if applicable. Don’t forget to hold a glass of wine/champagne/beer - or have it close to you! Remember to keep toasts around 5 minutes long. 7-8 if you are a REALLY good toaster! Try not to go off on a tangent! The Big Wedding Planning Podcast is... Hosted and produced by Michelle Martinez.
