3 Wedding Toast Tips 🥂 for speaking at your own wedding or someone else’s: ✅ Save this now to revisit later! 1️⃣ Plan it & Print it 🗒 Start writing at least a month in advance so you have time to dig deep & can edit with a fresh perspective. Put it on paper or memorize it so your face isn’t glowing blue from a 📱 phone screen. 2️⃣ Speak from the heart 💕 Delete the generic & cliche statements, like “She’s the best.” 🙅🏻‍♀ Instead, give reasons or tell a story to demonstrate why the guest of honor is so special to you. 3️⃣ Keep it under 5 minutes 🕑 When you’re at a wedding, you want to be on your feet, mingling & dancing with everyone--not listening to a 15-minute toast... 🙃 plus you’re not the only one speaking. Practice aloud at home with a stopwatch & trim as needed. Say what you want to say concisely & raise your glass! 🥂🥂🥂 Our beautiful couple: @dlevitelevine & Brett Venue: @cipriani @ciprianievents @casaciprianinyc Planner: @whitneyeventsny ✨ check them out!
