The Ins And Outs Of Finding A Free Wedding Toast
Well, here you are you lucky soul; you have to give a toast at a wedding coming up and you don’t have the slightest idea of what to say, when to say it, or anything about giving a toast. And, you don’t have a lot of moolah laying around to fork out for someone else to write it for you; so the best thing for you to do is go online on the Internet, browse up some sites that offer a free wedding toast already written, download it, and you’re good to go.
The biggest problem for most toast givers at weddings, other than the sheer fright of standing in front of a group of people and having to say something that sounds intelligent without passing out; is that they don’t know what the drill is—-in other words, when the toast should be given and who says what when. The more formal the wedding, the stricter the rules, usually—and the toasting, from the rehearsal dinner to the reception, follow a certain order.
Take for example, the reception. Now that you are prepared with your free wedding toast that you downloaded online; here is how the order goes for the most part. The best man starts the proceedings and gives the first toast to the bride and groom; then usually, the groom stands up and toast his new bride and her family. Then come the two fathers, his and hers; and they toast the couple—-and if you want to further the toasting, the bride and groom can toast each other. Following all that, the floor is open to any toasts that want to be raised from the guests.
So, let’s take a look at how you can embellish or use this free wedding toast that you have gotten from the Internet, and see what can be done with it. You want to add some thought of your own so it sounds like you actually wrote it, and not copied it from somewhere; and you want to be mindful of the time—don’t let it run over 5min in duration, or people will be looking at their watches and yawning. Keep it simple and to the point, be sincere, be funny–not crude (there are virgin ears and kids in the group), and make sure you keep eye contact at all times with the couple. You are not performing, you are delivering heartfelt wishes—so act accordingly. End the toast with a raised glass and “Cheers!”, or a blessing, or simply congratulations.
Let’s take a look at some of the examples of a free wedding toast that can be procured from the Internet and used just as they are. Here’s some for the bride and groom: “May we all be invited to your Golden Wedding celebrations”, or: “May you both live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.” Here’s another one for the couple: “May the roof above you never fall in, and may you both never fall out.”
Some other folks are toasted on this occasion as well, and the sites on the Internet have a free wedding toast for almost all purposes, take a look: A toast from the bride and groom to the guests: “To our best friends, who know the most about us, but refuse to believe it.” And this one: “May out children be blessed with rich parents.” Here’s one to just the bride: “May you share everything with your husband, including the housework.” And finally, one to just the groom:”To the man who has conquered the bride’s heart, and her mother’s.”.
The Internet is loaded with all kinds of ideas and examples of wedding toasts, and finding a free wedding toast online is not hard at all if you just stick with it, allow enough time to browse and poke around so you are not rushed and choose something that is not a good fit for what you want to say, and you will be able to find just what it is you need easily.
