Giving Great Wedding Ceremony Toast Activities

Giving a toast is often a responsibility that puts fear in the speaking hearts on most people of a wedding ceremony. While it isn’t generally something which is particularly long or even involved, it’s speaking in public (that doesn’t sit well with many people) and really puts people on the spot.

If you’re planning a wedding and are aware that most members of the wedding party are hams who will not mind the whole “public speaking” thing, then go for it and keep the speeches conventional with father, your best man along with other people taking their expected turns with the microphone.

Nevertheless if you thinking of some thing different, either because you would like to save putting people on the spot, or perhaps you simply want to do something different and fun, read on.

First, it is possible to certainly go ahead and take the entire toast thing off the agenda if you wish. There aren’t any rules requiring a toast at any wedding ceremony. Weddings needs to be exclusive events and reflect the personalities of the groom and bride.

If the guest list includes many outgoing people then consider “pass the microphone”. This may work in several ways. You may either end up being silly with it, or deadly serious. Most people like silly. Say dad takes the microphone first. His last name end with T (so, let’s say dad’s last name is Smith). He must find a person whose name begins with a T (Tom? Tony? Tina? Theresa?) and pass the microphone to that particular person, who then gives a toast.

Using this method of giving speeches and toasts will put folks on the spot (certainly before the fun starts you can warn them so if they’re really uncomfortable, they can get away to the rest room or pub) but it may also be plenty of fun. Getting people when they least expect it and then asking them to remember something funny or special in regards to the bride and groom may result in interesting, funny and truthful results.

You could also decide that just one person at each table be asked to give a toast. Number the tables and at different intervals, get the MC or DJ call a number, that will require guests at that table to choose between themselves who’ll give the toast at that table. Certainly, more than one person can if they want, but there will likely be at least one ham from every table who’ll enjoy standing up and toasting the newlyweds.

Your speaker might decide to finish this particular sentence, “I remember when (groom’s name here) was a little boy, he always …” or perhaps answer this particular question, “When was (insert bride’s name here) at her silliest? Tell all of us the story”. You may have to give every speaker a minute or two to gather their thoughts, but you’re sure to have a few interesting stories, some unique anecdotes and some different perspectives about the bride and groom.
