Here are a few Wedding Toast ideas that may be helpful to you when writing your speech:
- Stories of what the bride used to share with you about the groom when she first met him.
- A Funny story while growing up
- How you and the bride met and how long you both have known each other
- Most “appropriately” embarrassing moment you shared with the bride
- How beautiful the bride and groom look together
- Talk about a funny habit of the bride that the groom will have to live with
- A spiritual statement (if the bride and groom are spiritual people)
- Words of advice to both the bride and groom
- Wishes you have for the newlyweds (e.g., success, happiness, many babies)
In addition, Maid’s and Matron’s of Honor are known to also give speeches at the Wedding Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Shower, and Bachelorette Party. These speeches are much more informal than the Wedding Toast and can be more silly and casual. It is very common for other Bridesmaids to give speeches as well.
