Did you know

That the toast can be one of the key moments to a wedding. Sincere toasts can pull your guests in and can almost make them"feel the love" which will inspire them and help transition into a great celebration. 

Here are some Toasting Tips for your Best Man, Maid/Matron of Honor and anyone else that will be holding the live mic:

DO'S

1. Hold the microphone close to your chin
2. Open with who you are - but avoid the cliché “for those of you who don’t know me” (how about “Hi, my name is Susie and I’m happy to be Betsy’s Maid of Honor today”) - and how you know the bride or groom.
3. A short, funny story is good
4. Talk about what you've observed about their happiness since meeting
5.  Share a great story about when you knew they were The One for each other
6. Wish them a lifetime of happiness together and conclude with “Now let’s all raise our glass  . . .”

DONT'S

1. Don’t try to punk the bride or groom and tell embarrassing stories (this is a celebration, not a roast)
2. Don’t tell inside jokes (makes the guests feel if they are not needed there)
3. Don’t mention ex’s (tacky)
4. Don’t get hammered before dinner (you’ll regret this the following days for more reasons than one).
5. Don’t forget to conclude with “Let’s all raise our glass . . .”
6. Don’t forget to hold the microphone close to your chin
