Wedding Toast Activities

Speakers giving a wedding toast are shaky and afraid of facing the public tough it is not a long or involved speech. Facing a large audience and public puts most members of the wedding party on the spot.

If you consider most members of the wedding party as hams that do not bother about the “public speaking” thing, let the toast be traditional with dad, the best man and others taking their turn at the mike respectively.

If you want to save others from public speaking or do something different and fun see below for ideas.

First and foremost you can cancel the toast from the agenda. Giving a toast for the wedding I not at all mandatory. Weddings are expected to be unique and reflect the personalities of the bride and groom.

A different option is to go by the video route that asks people to make a toast on camera. The video is given to the bride and the groom later. Though it is not a unique idea it saves people from being put on spot. In addition it gives every one an opportunity to say something special to the bride and the groom.

If you have many out going guests consider “pass the microphone” which can work indifferent ways – either silly or dead serious. Most people love the silly. If dad takes the microphone first and his name ends in T he should find some one whose first name begins with a T and pass the microphone to the person for a toast. Though people are put on the spot through the toast it can be a lot of fun. To take people by surprise and asking them to remember something funny and meaningful about the bride and groom will end funny and truthful and interesting results.

Let one person at each table give a toast. Number the tables and at intervals and have the MC or DJ call a number when the guests will decide who among them, will give the toast at the table. More people will like to give the toast. There will be one ham at each table who enjoys standing up and toasting the newly weds.

If the subject matter is difficult open ended topics can be given to the speakers. You can make open mike arrangements where any one can propose a toast. The DJ or MC can offer the speaker a new topic which can be pulled from a champagne flute or out of floral arrangement on the head table. You can choose slips of paper or just one sheet with several ideas.

The speaker might end the sentence “I remember when he (the groom) was a little boy, always….” Or answer the question “when was she (the bride) at her silliest?” Tell us the story. Give each speaker a minute or two gather their thoughts. You are sure to have interesting stories and some unique anecdotes and some different views on the bride and groom.
