Wedding Toast Tips and Advice
Introduction
Wedding toasts are a cherished tradition, serving as a bridge between the formalities of the wedding ceremony and the joyful festivities of the reception. They provide a heartfelt opportunity for family and friends to express their well-wishes and emotions for the happy couple.
The Tradition of Wedding Toasts
The tradition of toasting dates back to the belief that creating noise?"like the clinking of glasses?"could ward off evil spirits. Wedding toasts can be either traditional or non-traditional, depending on the preferences of the couple and their guests.
Traditional Order
In a traditional wedding, the toasts usually follow a set order:
1. Toast to the Bride or Couple: This is often delivered by the best man, a relative, or a friend.
2. Groom's Response: The groom offers a toast to his bride, thanks the best man, acknowledges the parents, and toasts the bridesmaids.
3. Best Man's Reply: He thanks the groom on behalf of the bridesmaids, and sometimes the bride also expresses her gratitude.
4. Additional Toasts: A close friend or relative may propose another toast.
5. Father of the Bride: He thanks the guests and signals the start of the celebration.
Non-Traditional Order
For those who prefer to break away from tradition, the order may vary:
1. First Toast by the Emcee: The emcee toasts the couple.
2. Groom's Thanks: He acknowledges the emcee and guests, and toasts his bride.
3. Bride's Response: She thanks her husband, guests, and toasts her parents and in-laws.
4. Father of the Bride: He expresses gratitude and announces the start of the celebration.
5. Toasts to Bridesmaids: The emcee may acknowledge the bridesmaids, with the maid of honor potentially responding.
