No speeches, just toasts?

Sept14, 7 April, 2014 at 13:22 Posted on Planning 0 5

Hi

From the start both my OH and Dad said they weren't comfrotable with making a speech, which is fine with me as I'd hate to do it too and don't want it to spoil their day. My mum suggested that we still have toasts, which is good for me as I'm a bubbly fan ?

I'm just trying to work out how we'd actually do this. I thought it would be nice for OH and myself to stand up to thank the guests for coming (planning on doing thank you gifts before wedding). It would then be odd to toast ourselves.

Just wondered if anyone else has done this/planning on doing this and how it worked?

Thanks ?

    We're not having speeches either ?

    If you're having a sit down meal, venues (or toastmaster if you have one) will quite often announce the bride and grooms entrance into the room and guests are asked to stand to welcome them.

    You could do it immediately after this? So just after everyone sits down, you &/or your OH could remain standing and say your thanks, raise a toast?

    That would flow nicely I think. ?

    We aren't really having speeches as everybody dreads making them! I want to thank my bridesmaids and give them their gifts is I will do that. Other than that, a simple toast is all I want really xx

    My Dad doesn't want to give a speech either and is just going to toast us, my brother & OH are giving a small speech.

    Maybe you and OH could thank everyone etc and yoiur OH could toast you or something? And your dad toast the both of you?
