Getting Married? Congratulations!
Planning a reception? Awesome!
Set guidelines for your toast-givers' speech??? Do it NOW!
 |
Okay! So you designated who will be giving toasts at your wedding. Please consider giving your toast-givers some guidelines. After all, it is your wedding. And while we are the first to tell Brides and Grooms that it's important to make your guests happy, it's also important to guide and plan.
With that being said, keep these Toasting Tidbits in mind.
1. They're giving Wedding Toasts, not Wedding Roasts!
Toasts are meant to honor you, not totally embarrass you. We always say, toasts should P.E.P.
Be polite, endearing, personalized.
2. If your toast-giver is nervous speaking in front of people, please encourage them to write it down on small note cards. There is nothing worse than a speech-giver that forgets what they want to say and then rambles... It's uncomfortable, for not only the bride and groom but for the guests as well.
3. Speeches should be short, two-four minutes is ideal.
Anything more simply takes away from the Bride and Groom.
4. Consider speaking to your emcee, in advance, about a toast that may get out of hand. Give them them the authority to step in if... let's say someone's had too much to drink.
5. Lastly, ask your toast-giver to just be who they are. If they are funny, be funny. Serious? Then own it. If they are themselves, they will be more comfortable and in turn everyone will be more comfortable. The key here is to give a speech that 's from their hearts.
Love and Celebrations! ~ LLE
