The dreaded toasts! The potential death sentence to any great party… unless you can apply these simple rules.
Let's start with the basic rules:
Rule #1: Do not have more than four toasts.
Rule #2: Set a maximum length of three minutes.
Rule #3: Follow rules number one and two!
And now, some tips for making your toast a big hit.
Don't ever consume alcohol before you give a toast. Trust me on this one. Also, this is not a comedic roast — keep it sweet, keep it endearing, and move it along quickly. I really don't need to hear about the funny things that happened in college or the things the bride and groom did with their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends… awkward! It's a wedding, not a college party. If you want to add humor, a little comedy goes a long way.
