Cheers to the bride & groom

Traditionally the first toast at the wedding reception is offered by the best man, followed by the maid of honor, then the groom and bride, the father of the bride, the groom's father, the mother of the bride and finally the groom's mother.

The best man should offer his toast once everyone has been seated for dinner. After the best man finishes the maid of honor should propose a toast. The toasts should be short, sweet and to the point. Make sure people who are toasting know to not bring up exes or information that would be unflattering. To keep things running smoothly notify the DJ who and when the toasting will begin.

If you would like someone to give a speech ask them at least two weeks in advance and request a three-minute limit.
