Wedding toast: tips for a guest

How do you make sure that the toast you give in honor of the young people at the wedding is remembered for its positivity and originality? Read our tips below.

Don't forget about tact

If you decide to make a toast "personal", that is, you remember some story from the life of a happy couple, do not allow even a hint of insult in your own speech. It is strictly forbidden to mention or hint at the former passions of any of the young, as well as stories that can be interpreted in two ways or put someone in an awkward position. After your toast is over, the young ones should be beaming with a smile, not embarrassed or nervous.

Keep in mind the brevity

Of course, monosyllabic toasts like "For love!" or "For the young" are not an option at all. However, it's definitely not worth talking for more than two minutes. Do not get carried away with your own speech: firstly, no one will listen attentively to you for so long, and secondly, the reason to gather at the tables was not your presence at all, but an event in the life of the newlyweds, which means that most of the attention should go to them. In addition, guests (and even young people) often sit down at tables already tired and hungry, and forcing them to wait for the end of the speech in order to finally eat is at least rude.

Add humor

One or two jokes or witticisms are the optimal "concentration" in a guest toast at a wedding. However, be careful.: do not retell old jokes, or use obscenities. Jokes should be decent, not "on the edge," and funny for everyone. It's also not worth overloading the toast with jokes – it will be exhausting for everyone, and your words will quickly cease to be perceived as something funny.

By the way, remember that it is absolutely impossible to joke about the bride, and it is better to protect the groom from his own wit.

Be sincere.

Sincerity is the best source of inspiration, both when writing a speech and when delivering it. Don't try to "squeeze" phrases out of yourself, think about your true feelings for the two people who tied their fate. And during the toast, resurrect these feelings in your memory (it will be easier to do this if you look directly at the culprits of the celebration), and tell them everything you want to wish for and for which you sincerely love them.

By the way, don't be afraid to admit that you're nervous. This tactic often helps you relax and make your speech more confident, and those around you will surely support you.
