Wedding toasts should be more sentimental and reserved

Some excellent books I have found that are very useful for weddings

The primary purpose of the toast is to wish the happy couple good luck and good fortune in their marriage.

Unlike rehearsal dinner toasts, which allow for some good-natured roasting, wedding toasts should be more sentimental and reserved. Your toast can be as short and sweet as two or three lines, which you can write yourself or borrow from the Bible, a poetry book, literature and so on. Or you might prefer to fashion your toast into a short story several paragraphs long. In this case, try to give guests a window into your relationship with the bride and share your good feelings about her new life with the groom. It's important that you limit your toast to three to five minutes, since holding court for much longer can cause the crowd to grow restless.

Your Special Wedding Toasts [Hardcover]

Your Special Wedding Toasts [Hardcover]



I was asked to handle the toast for an old friend who had moved and was marrying someone I barely knew. Both persons had been previously married for many years. This book not only supplied a beautiful toast (that had an uncanny relation to the ceremony itself), it also provided excellent suggestions for making introductory remarks before the toast that allowed me to both honor the couple and to incorporate the fact that I did not know the groom all that well. The situation was actually a little extra tense for me since there was some "unease" among the groom's offspring about the role they were willing to play in the festivities. Sharon Naylor's book gave me the material and the coaching to handle the situation with confidence. It must have worked because I received a number of compliments afterward. Thank you, Sharon!

just loved this book. I've been a bridesmaid so many times and have had to make toasts and say "a few words" on many occasions. I just wish I had had this book ten years ago. Some of the toasts actually brought tears to my eyes. It's truly a reference book that's written with heart, passion, and humor. I recommend it to anyone who needs to come up with a meaningful speech for anniversaries, weddings, any emotion-filled life event

Wedding Toasts Made Easy!: The Complete Guide [Paperback]

Wedding Toasts Made Easy!: The Complete Guide [Paperback]



I read this book before writing a best man toast for a wedding in September 2007. I paid only $5.54 and it was a great investment. The book is amusing and an easy read. I started with assorted notes and memories of the groom and the book taught me how to shape it into a successful toast. The simple directions and the sample toast will give you confidence. I also purchased and read Your Special Wedding Toasts by Sharon Naylor, which I recommend as well. For both books, you only need to read about 40 pages to cover your particular situation.

"Wedding Toasts Made Easy" is often called "The Bible of Wedding Toasts" because of its wealth of trusted, comprehensive guidance on how to research, write, practice and perfect a wedding toast. The book offers a highly unique approach, as author Tom Haibeck takes readers by the hand and walks them through each step in the process of preparing a wedding toast. It's concise and filled with wry humour and excellent advice. It also offers a treasury of wedding-related quotes and humour, innovative ways to deal with stage-fright, and a bonus section on the duties of the Best Man.

Honestly funny

What a great book to make one realize the craziness that occurs with getting so involved with wedding details. I laughed and empathized with the author about many of her experiences. This book is a must for any female who is thinking about ever getting married or who just wants to laugh at the idea. The poor grooms-to-be might even get a kick out of knowing that their bride is not the only one measuring candy boxes to be sure the favors will fit!
