Bride & Groom toast ?

We were on the fence about this too. My fiance is not one for attention. It was already a lot with the ceremony and first dance we we ultimately decided not to. We made our rounds to each table to thank everyone personally instead and will be sending out thank you cards when we get our photos back No one noticed that we didn't get up and talk!

My FH is not one for toasts so it will probably be me thanking everyone. It will be quick but a shout out to the parents and bridal party then a thank you to everyone who came.

Doesn't have to be too long but a quick thank you. For the caterers chances are they will be too busy to hear anything but it's always nice incase they do listen.

The bride and groom toast can be as short or long as you wish from your end. You two finish with the last speech as the main couple to thank everyone including families for the support.

I did do the speech for us both though my husband isn't a public speaker. I did say about families coming together and their support towards us. Thanking all guests who came out for us and husbands parents up in the stars watching over us.

We decided to say a few words. Quick and simple. However, he wants to say something completely on his own, which is worrying the hell out of me

We actually planned on not doing any toasts really but in the moment, at dinner, I was feeling like it was the time to stand up and say something so I did! Just a short thank you to everyone and how special it was for us to have everyone there. About 15-20 min. later my (now) husband haha : ) got up and said a thank you and thanked my parents (who he sees as the foundation of our family) which I thought was really sweet! It was totally all natural and just felt right!

We did a super quick, thanks for coming and thanks for all the help. We probably would of had more to say if we would have actually planned the speech lol.

We did thank yous for important family members who played big roles in our wedding day and did a general thank you to all our vendors

I 1000% agree with you. Especially if you're getting support from your family, friends and wedding party - and not just financially; emotional support is important to recognize too. Your vendor and guest thank you can be a lot quicker but I would be SO offended if I was a bigger part of your day (especially as a parent) and I was lumped into everyone else's thank you.

Thanks Amanda! I guess he wins this one 😝

We just a big thank you to everyone and that was it! Just short and sweet and then we started the party!
