Your friends and family will be bursting with love and excitement on the day of your wedding. They will be more than ready to share these feelings with you and the rest of your guests. Having wedding toast ideas to keep everything on track and moving smoothly is typically a good plan. It will also allow you to give the people who you want to speak on your big day the opportunity to write a loving message that you will always remember.

Choose the order of wedding toasts from your friends and family.
The best way to start making the toasting plans for your wedding day is by choosing who you want to speak. Traditionally, the bride’s parents, the maid of honor, and the best man make speeches. The order of wedding toasts is entirely up to you, but it is a good idea to have a pre-established order. The best wedding toasts generally take place at the reception before the dinner. Another good time to insert a toast is after dinner before the cake cutting. Feel free to ask other special friends or family members to make a toast as well.The best wedding toasts are short and simple.
It is best to let your speakers know that you would like them to keep their toasts rather short. Guests will appreciate well-planned speeches that are to the point…especially if they are waiting to be served dinner! Encourage them to look up wedding toast ideas online if they’re nervous. There are a lot of helpful hints out there on the internet!
The most memorable toasts, to me, seem to be the embarrassing/funny stories people tell. Or the speeches people mess up on :)
