Who Makes the Wedding Toast?
A wedding toast is made in honor of the bride and groom. It can be given by any of the guests at the wedding reception and is usually something short, light, and sometimes funny. At times, several people choose to make a toast to the couple together, gathering on stage and expressing their feelings towards the beautiful couple and giving a toast in sync with one another. For example, all the groomsmen, a group of close college friends, or some close cousins. Traditionally, the toast is not planned by the bride and groom and it’s a surprise by whoever decides to stand up and speak some beautiful words, but nowadays more couples are choosing the person who will make the toast for their wedding reception. Generally it’s one of the fathers, maid-of-honor, best man, or another close guest.
