Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Wedding toast???
   I’m planning on giving a toast at my friend’s wedding. I have looked at examples on the internet, and of course I will make my toast a “personal” one and not copy it from somewhere else. But I am wondering what some of you have said at a wedding. I’m just looking for ideas on how to start it off…how long it should be…etc. I have never done this before and I just need a little help! Thanks so much for any responses!
   Ok I would like serious answers….am I posting this in a non-US answers? Do you people know what giving a toast is?

   • ANSWER:
     OK, this may be a little long, but I actually went upstairs and dug this out of a drawer. I wrote this for my husband, with his help, for his brother when my husband was best man. This brother was best man for us and gave a similar toast for us. People still talk about both.

     Good Afternoon! I am, as many of you know, the “best man” and Javier’s brother. Javier was my best man and had a few words of advice for me at my wedding almost 2 years ago. Now, I have some for the happy couple.

     Javier, you are a lucky man. Irene is a likable, intelligent, and commendable woman. No one has anything bad to say or even dislikes her in any way. It is obvious that she has made you very happy.

     It is also obvious, Irene, that you are a risk-taker. As his former roommate, I know what it is like to sleep with him, and I have some words of advice. Just because he’s having a conversation in the middle of the night, doesn’t mean he’s talking to you. If he’s cursing, it doesn’t mean he’s angry with you. Just roll over and go back to sleep. If you wake him up, he may go to the bathroom, wash his face, brush his teeth and start dressing for school. I’ve seen it happen.

     Irene, I’d like to give you a pair of tools to make life easier in the years to come.

     First, I’d like to give you these bells so you know where your husband is during the night. I don’t want you getting phone calls from the neighbors telling you there is a naked man wandering around in front of your house. That man, of course, would be Javier. he has a tendency to walk in his sleep, regardless of what he’s wearing-or not wearing.

     Last, there is a tried and true method of calming Javier down in any situation. Just a bar of chocolate like this (He gave her one.) will instantly put him in a better mood. Keep lots on hand at all times.

     Now, let us raise our glasses in honor of Irene and Javier. That they always experience health and prosperity and that their love for each other grows stronger everyday of a long life of happiness! To Irene and Javier, Salud!

     I hope it helps!

4. QUESTION:
   Any suggestions on how to write a good wedding toast for Scrubs characters?
   My speech class requires us to write a wedding toast for a TV show couple. We have to pretend that we personally know the couple and I will be playing the part of bridesmaid. I picked JD and Elliot from Scrubs. I’m having writers block. Any suggestions on what story I could include to describe JD and Elliot?

   • ANSWER:
     This seems like a really cool project.

     I would talk about the fact that they were friends since their first day in the hospital. They’ve worked side-by-side for 8 years. Talk about how there was always a spark between the two of them. They have great chemistry. The two of them can have fun doing nothing- even “sitting at home eating pizza watching a crappy TV show” is good enough for them because they are so comfortable with each other…

     That should be a decent start for you…hahaha.

5. QUESTION:
   What should I write about for an imaginary wedding toast?
   I have to write an imaginary wedding toast to present in front of my class. The speech has to rhyme every two lines and I have to tell how i know the bride or groom. After I introduce myself, I have to tell a funny story or stories about one of them. This is all fiction but I still don’t know what to write about. Any ideas?

   • ANSWER:
     you already have what to write ABOUT, you just need someone to tell you what to write. Think of one of your closest friends (male or female) and imagine them getting married and what you would say about them. You don’t have to use any real names, but maybe think of an embarrassing moment that you two shared.

6. QUESTION:

She got married (to the same guy) last summer in a very small backyard ceremony but she’s having her “formal” wedding this summer. I just don’t know if I should give a wedding toast or an anniversary toast? What do you guys think?

   which champagne to buy for my wedding toast?
   I need advice on which champagne to buy for my wedding toast.
   I want something sweet and tasty.
   Not too expensive also.

   Also, can someone explain what brut means?

   • ANSWER:
     Brut explains the amount of “dryness” of the champagne – if you’re going to be purchasing a few bottles, try Prosecco – it’s a sparkling Italian wine – affordable with a nice sweetness and also very tasty!

     PS. It’s about 10-15 bucks depending on where you shop

10. QUESTION:
    What is a good drink to use for wedding toast?
    I am getting married in 2 weeks. My maid of honor is pregnant and I am not a wine person. My fiance and I are having trouble deciding on a drink to use for wedding toasts.

    • ANSWER:
      sparkling apple cider, sparkling pomegranate juice, sparkling grape juice can be found at most grocery stores and “club stores” (sams club, bj’s or costco)

      How about 7 up with a splash of orange, strawberry or peach puree. Fruit punch with seven up or ginger ale.

    • ANSWER:
      Crucial – keep it short! It will make it much easier on her and the guests.

      I gave an MOH toast a couple of weeks ago. I described the moment when I knew the bride and groom were right for each other. I decided to go with sweet instead of trying to crack jokes.

      Practice, practice, practice. I did the toast for my boyfriend, for the other bridesmaids, and about 50 times in front of my mirror – and I was still nervous!

15. QUESTION:
    Any good tips on giving a wedding toast?
    My sister is getting married next weekend and I’m her matron of honor. I’ve never given a toast at a wedding and am not sure where to begin. We’ve never been very close, especially growing up. I want it to be sentimental and thoughtful, not too humorous. Any suggestions? websites out there with speeches written? I don’t have time to go buy a book. I just need some help in getting started.

16. QUESTION:
    What are some tips for giving a good wedding toast?
    I’m best man at my mate’s wedding and not the best at public speaking. I really want to give a funny toast that people will like but don’t know where to start.

    • ANSWER:
      The best tip I can give is that there will be people in the room that don’t know you, but know him and/or her. Don’t stick to stories about you and him – try to find out a bit about the other guests and their impact on the relationship and include that in your speech. That way everyone will stay interested. Throw in a few funnies but don’t try the stand up routine. When it comes to reading the cards, put them in your top hat and get the guests to pick them out. Everyone should feel like they are involved in your speech (and not just being talked at) and it should go down pretty well! Final tip keep it to no more than 5 minutes. Everyone is winding down after a long day and they want a few glasses of champagne not a monologue. Good luck.

18. QUESTION:
    what should i say in a wedding toast?
    my best friend is getting married tomorrow and she asked me to say a toast at the reception (i’m the maid of honor) It will be an informal ceremony and an informal reception. I have no idea what to say or where to begin. Do i talk about my friend and i and our friendship or talk about how i view the couple or talk about how i know the couple ect.

    please tell me everything there is to know about wedding toasts. such as how long should i make it, do i pre-rehearse, when do i give the toast, what is it about, ect. and some examples

    thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      You dont have to prepare an elaborate speech. If you have a nice story involving the two of them or the three of you, you might include that if its approprate. If not, just tell them how happy you are for them, how much you love them, etc.

19. QUESTION:
    What are you supposed to say when you do a wedding toast?
    I’ve been asked by my brother to do the toast at his wedding and I don’t know what to say or how it’s supposed to be done.

    • ANSWER:
      I’ve heard it said that a toast at a wedding should be like a miniskirt: short enough to keep your attention and long enough to cover the essentials!

      Tell a quick story about your brother and maybe when you knew this woman was going to be “the one” for him. Maybe your brother told you something about her soon after they met, something he loved about her, some part of her character that makes her his perfect match…

      Do welcome the bride to your family and of course, wish them many years of happiness together.

20. QUESTION:
    how do you give a great wedding toast?
    I’m giving a toast at a wedding and I’m not sure how to structure it or what to say. This is a childhood friend whom I’ve remainded very close with.

    • ANSWER:
      Say a good funny memory about the person – something that people can laugh or go “aww” without embarassing your friend. Something unique (could be incident or personality) that you think others want to know about your friend.

21. QUESTION:
    What is an appropriate amount of time a wedding toast should last?
    I’m giving a toast this weekend! How long should it last? How many jokes is too many? How many stories should be told? Should it focus solely on my friend or both my friend and her new spouse!?

    • ANSWER:
      No more than 5 minutes. 3 is ideal. Tell one good story and leave it that. Unless you are super-funny (run your jokes by a few friends first, and tell them to be honest), keep the jokes to a minimum. And no inside jokes – that’s boring for everyone.

      Trust me, no one ever complained that a speech was too short!

      If you have a good story to tell about your friend and her husband, tell it. If not, tell a good story about you and your friend and wrap it by bringing it back around to the couple: “So John, whenever Amelia tells you she wants pudding, get her some pudding, because she does not kid around about desserts!” Etc.

      And please, practice practice practice. In front of your mirror. In front of your dog. In front of at least one honest friend. There is no such thing as too much practice.

22. QUESTION:
    How does one make the perfect wedding toast?
    What should one include? What should one exclude? How long should the toast go for? Any other advice?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey Mike!

      I was recently the best man at my best friend’s wedding. When I delivered the toast, I told a story about he and I met about 10 years ago doing community theater.

      I talked in detail about the kind of guy he is (considerate, and thoughtful). I didn’t tell any insulting anecdotes as most people expected me to. I went on to talk about how after I moved away we stayed in touch. I told everyone how he called me when he met his future wife (of course he didn’t know that at the time) and I could tell how happy he sounded.

      I didn’t record the speech, so it’s not available on youtube unfortunately, but if I had to guess, I’d have to say it was probably 2-3 minutes long. A lot of people came up to me after and said I did it very well, and very tastefully.

      Here are a few websites that might provide useful when preparing a best man speech:

23. QUESTION:
    How much champagne for non traditional wedding toast?
    We are asking the DJ to make an announcement prior to the toast directing people to the bar if they want champagne. I have roughly 120 guests. It’s likely not everyone will actually go get the champagne… so, how many bottles should I buy?

    • ANSWER:
      There are 49 oz in a 1.5 Liter bottle of champagne (the BIG one).

      There are 6-8 oz in a traditional champagne flute, however bartenders should pour 3-4 oz.

      This would make about 12 glasses per bottle. Buy 10 1.5 Liter bottles. You certainly don’t want to run out, and this will be enough for each person to have 1. Better to have a little bit leftover than to not have enough for everyone.

      If there’s an extra bottle, instruct the bartender to keep it on ice, and take it with you to your honeymoon suite when the night is over!

24. QUESTION:
    What is a good wedding toast to say when you’re the aunt?
    My cousin is having her wedding tomorrow night and my aunt needs to know something good to say to start off the toast.

    • ANSWER:

Nope not my dad, but Mr. Spock from Star Trek and he said “live long and prosper” then give the sign, you know pointer fingerand middle finger together and ring finger and pinky finger together. Have fun.

25. QUESTION:
    What should my husband say at his brother wedding toast?
    Okay my husbands kid brother (27) is getting married tomorrow and he is the Best Man. Well he has been asked to give the toast and he is at a loss for words…Basically no one in our family likes the girl he is marrying and thinks he is making a mistake but he has chosen this and we have to support him in it…His brother knows we dont like her and we dont want the toast to seem like we do…so we really dont want to say how glade we are the have her in the family or anything like that…so any good ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      While She was clearly not who we would have chosen for HIS WIFE, what can you do? You work hard and teach your brother, but they do what they want to anyway! He He

26. QUESTION:
    Can a wedding toast be a personal expirence between the bride and her maid of honor?
    I am the maid of honor for my sister’s wedding and I have never given a speech. Is it okay for me to give a speech and can it be personal?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes and no.

      It is, of course, perfectly appropriate – and to a large degree, expected – that your toast will be personal and from the heart.

      However, there are two things I’d like for you to consider: when making the toast, it is appropriate to make mention of your relationship to the bride, however, please remember that this is the COUPLE’S day, and your speech should reflect your wishes for the two of them (your sister and new brother) in the years to come. Second, when making any sort of personal reference, please try to refrain from any sort of inside jokes that the other guests won’t get – it will make them uncomfortable. So while it’s appropriate to tease her gently about her shoe obsession, making a reference to your girls’ weekend in Vegas isn’t.

      Hope that helps.

27. QUESTION:
    What are some good quotes for a wedding toast from the maid of honor?

    Do you have any idea? You can tell one of your real experiences at a wedding or some stuff if you think that it could give me an idea of a toast.

    • ANSWER:
      My toast to the groom and his beautiful loving bride. He has found quite the gift in life and one that keeps giving! Cheers!

29. QUESTION:
    How can I come up with a proper wedding toast for my older brother?
    It’s his second marriage, and I was terrified when I was his best man 13 years ago. I want to say something from the heart, but I barely know his future wife. She is quiet and somewhat hard to know. I suffer from dibilitating depression, anxiety and social phobia. I want this to be about them, and not my issues. Any help would be appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      you simply introduce yourself as ( name) younger brother, and say you are excited to be here, and that you are keeping your promise not to publically tell the funny story about brother ( insert funny but appropriate story about him here, say, being the one who really dinged the fender or got caught picking the neighbors apples when you were little or other funny, true story about the two of you ) so, dont worry, i wont tell!
      then you welcome wife and tell her she looks very lovely and that you know she will make brother happy, that ‘you both have a wonderful future together free of dings, and full of apples you pick together (see how i wove the funny story here? )and then you wind it up with a toast, saying
      raise your glass, ect. you speak clearly firmly and loudly, look happily around the room at your audience, keep your head up and it is ok to read from notes, so you say alll you want, but, you need to deliver it like a pro, that means be sure and confident of what you are saying ending with a flourish and a big smile and hugs all around.

      doing this will be huge, you will give your brother a cherished moment he will never forget and you will shine.

      earning accomplishments like this by being prepared as you are trying to do is one key way to ease your ”issues’ as you go thru life.

    Good humorous traditional wedding toast?
    I am going to give a toast at the wedding of two good friends later this month. Anyone know of any good, traditional, funny wedding toasts?
    Nina, get a life.

      — top 10 reasons “bride/groom’ should get married
      — before you get married, here are some things you should know about “groom”… go into some wierd/funny things, end with “he loves you” “never seen him so happy”, etc
      — “‘Bride” thank you for making this guy a better man” go into how she’s made him a better man….

34. QUESTION:
    Do I need to play music during a wedding toast?
    Do I need to play a song during the wedding toast like in the background? Also what other things do I play songs for other then the normal?

    • ANSWER:
      No you don’t need to.. the toast is a verbal wish for happiness and good will to the new couple. Each culture has their own special moments and way of celebrating. That is what makes it all so wonderful!.. Often couples of different backgrounds blend those ideas in the celebration. There can be special music for the dance with bride and father, first dance of the new couple, Money dance, etc. We played a special music at certain times for things we wanted to indicate to the guests that were going to happen next.. We had trumpets sound, from the “Ever After” CD. our DJ played. One thing if we had to do again.. i wouldn’t let there be requests from guests.. it got pretty rowdy then!. up till then, everyone commented it was the nicest music they ever heard at a wedding reception.. My future husband and i picked out with the DJ. Lots of teens and young adult music was requested , and many of our guests left then. It was very upsetting. The music i feel too needs be age appropriate to your guests. To a certain degree! We did have ones picked for the younger crowd.

35. QUESTION:
    Robbins Brothers Asks: Is It Acceptable to Have Guests at a Wedding Toast the Couple with a Glass of Beer?
    Or is it best not to mess with tradition and serve champagne?

    • ANSWER:
      The toast is about giving the bride and groom well wishes. What you toast with shouldn’t matter. Should the nondrinker or former alcoholic not get to toast because they are drinking water or NA beer? It’s about the love, not the content of the glass, that matters.

      Now toasting with a beer bottle while you are trashed and hitting on the bride or groom? Tacky.

36. QUESTION:
    Champagne toast at wedding reception – how much to buy?
    I am having a champagne toast at my wedding reception but I have no idea how many servings are in a 750 ml bottle. I’m not sure how much to buy!
    We are inviting 65 people (of which about 8 are kids) and not everyone drinks alcohol. I just want to give everyone enough for the toast, no more because the reception hall is charging me corking fee per bottle.

    • ANSWER:
      I would say that for the toast alone, 12 bottles (a case) would be safe for 57 people. This will provide each guest with a pretty full glass and leftovers if some people pass.

      I don’t think that leaving the bottles on the table is a good idea. First, they will get warm. Secondly, it’s kind of tacky having people pour themselves champagne for the toast. Third, people will assume that the champagne is up for grabs – meaning they may start drinking it the second they sit down. If any alcohol gets left on the table, it should be a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine.

38. QUESTION:
    do you have any tips for a wedding toast for the best man?
    Our best man needs some help with his toast. We are doing toast instead of speeches. Do you have any tips? The best man is my fiances cousin. Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Plan it out, speak from the heart, and don’t try to be funny if it does not come natural to you. Make certain you welcome the bride to the family, or say something nice/thoughtful about her. Sometimes BM focus only on groom, rather then the couple themselves. Also, make certain you grab a champagne glass so that you are not toasting with a beer in your hand.

39. QUESTION:
    What’s a good wedding toast champagne or sparkling wine?
    I’m looking for a good champagne or sparkling wine, but I don’t know where to begin! I’m getting married in a week, and I still have not found one. I’m on a budget, and really don’t want to spend a lot of money for the champagne. I was told that sparkling wine is a good alternative. Also, I want one that is sweet and not too dry ( I don’t really like dry). Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

    • ANSWER:
      First off I would like to say that sparkling wine is without a doubt my favorite alchoholic beverage.

      You don’t say what your budget is but you can buy both Schramsberg’s Mirabelle and Mumm’s Cuvee M for less than a bottle. Korbel sells for less than a bottle. You also might want to look for a demi-sec which is much sweeter than a brut. Also you might like an Asti Spumante which you can buy pretty cheap. Personally I don’t like Asti but you’re looking for sweet.

      Also I see no reason to pour a sparkler for a toast. Most people don’t like it and end up not drinking it. It’s a total waste of money unless you’re sure that people will drink it. Keep some bottles at the bar and let people order it if they want to actually drink it. There is no rule that says people have to toast with sparkling wine. Let people drink what they want for the toast. Good luck.

    I am getting married in 2 months now! Does anyone know a non alcholic drink that I can serve at my wedding reception during the toast? My fiance’ and I really are not heavy drinkers. We are sometimers. I don’t want people to act a fool while being drunk at our wedding. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.
    I wanted it to be sparkling, as if there was some type of alchol. Some thing that looks like champagne or any thing to that nature.

    • ANSWER:
      You can a lot of seltzer water “carbonated water” and you can make your own exotic drinks using sugar / drink syrup such as kool-aid ect.

41. QUESTION:
    What would be a good champagne to serve for the wedding toast?

    • ANSWER:
      I know its really popular, but Moet is good and the price is good.
      Perrier Jouet is nice, too. Anything above this price range and your guests are not likely to notice the difference– unless they are serious connoisseurs.

42. QUESTION:
    How do you say a wedding toast in ukrainian?
    My brother is getting married and I’d like to toast his new bride in her family’s native language without asking them.
    Any good ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      Here are two words that you can try. My family is 100% Ukrainian, although I only know a few words and phrases.

      congratulations! = pozdoroaliayu!, pozdorovlyayemo!
      cheers = bud’mo!

      It’s very thoughtful of you to think of his bride’s family

      Oh! I forgot something important… “Mnohaya Lita.” It is pronounced “No-High-A-Lita”. It is a song of good wishes that is sung at birthday’s, weddings, graduations… Anytime there is a celebration people are constantly offering this phrase. “Mnohaya Lita” translates into “many happy years.”

44. QUESTION:
    What are creative alternatives to maid-of-honor toast at a wedding?
    I’d like to do something special for the bride. What are crative alternatives to maid-of-honor toast at a wedding. The bride created a picture montage for another bridesmaid wedding.

    • ANSWER:
      Surprise the bride with a group song-and-dance number. The participants would be well-rehearsed, of course, but seated inconspicuously among the guests. You could start off the song (leading everyone to think you’re going to sing a solo); it gets bigger and bigger, with the bridesmaids joining in, then the participating guests getting up from their tables to join in.
      This would surprise not only the bride but everyone in the room. Make sure it’s well-rehearsed and choreographed (like a Broadway number, or even line dancing) so that it doesn’t look like the Macarena, or else everyone might think they can just get up and join in.

46. QUESTION:
    Options for the toast if wedding is non alcoholic?
    My fiance and I both do not drink, and we are not going to have alcohol at our wedding. We were brainstorming ideas for the toast, and came up with a pretty funny one: serving coke to everyone! Not just a glass of coke, but one of those glass bottles, the 200mL ones. They’re so cute, and we think it would be quite funny and suiting to our personalities. But really though, would that be “cute” or just plain stupid? Even though we like the idea we’re still debating whether or not we will actually do it at our wedding.
    I’d like to hear others opinions.

    • ANSWER:
      I went to a wedding once that did this! The wedding was in a dry county so alcohol was a big no-no. They had glass bottled cokes for everyone. It was really neat and a lot classier than the usual punch bowl seen at most weddings here. I would recommend a variety of drinks though for those who do not like coke; and even bottled waters.

48. QUESTION:
    Giving a wedding toast & need some help. My brother is marrying my best friend (who is brazilian).?
    The wedding is in Brazil, and I am the only one on our side of the family giving the toast. Someone else will translate for me into portuguese for her family because my portuguese is not that good. Any suggestions? What to say and length of time to talk? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I would keep it short, to a minute or under. But it would be impressive if at the end of your toast you said something short in portugese like “May the two of you live long and happily”. Something like that, but hearing it in portugese and that you learned it for that occasion will look nice.
