Some of the most eloquent toasts are emotional and sentimental, including those given by siblings or a parent. The purpose of the wedding toast is obviously to honor the newlyweds and wish them all good things for their marriage. But for those who are giving a toast, it can be a little uncomfortable. It’s a good idea to coach the best man or maid of honor and let them know how much you appreciate them being part of your big day.
The order of things
As tradition dictates, the best man is often the master of ceremonies, unless you have a DJ who is handling that duty. The order of toasting goes something like this:
- The best man toasts the bride
- The maid/matron of honor toasts the groom
- The father of the bride or someone in that position toasts the couple
- Any other parents of bride and groom toast the couple
- Last but not least, the bride and groom offer a toast to family and friends
This is only a suggestion and the newlyweds ultimately have the final decision as to who gets the microphone. But it’s a good idea to give the prospective “toasters” enough advance notice so they can collect their thoughts or funny stories that they would like to share.
