Toasts so many things can go right, and so many things can go wrong! If you're worried about how things will turn out when people who are slightly intoxicated start broadcasting their thoughts to a crowd, take heart; here are some things to consider on the subject of speeches and toasts.
During the actual speech or toast, start by standing up (and fittingly, sit down when you're done). After you've prepared something (no winging it, even if you think you can. You never know when your brain will pick a moment to shut down when it's time for a public-speaking opportunity), address the person you're toasting by name.
Traditions vary throughout different cultures. Some wedding toasts are prepared as lengthy monologues, some are followed by the breaking of glassware. If you're expect to toast at a wedding which is sultural in nature, discuss details with the bride or groom in advance.
The bride and groom will be expected to do a lot of drinking upon each wedding toast announcement. It's important to make sure that their glasses are always filled. If you're the best man of the wedding party, you may wish to pick up a book on wedding toast etiquette. It's always nice to state how long you have known and loved the couple. Your toast does not have to be very long , but it should express warmth from your heart
