Bride Toasts

You and your FS should do what you’re comfortable with. Some couples chose to have a speech, some thank everyone individually, some do both (we had a short speech and went to the tables during dinner). Don’t feel like you need to do something way out of your comfort zone on your wedding day.

I’ve never been to a wedding with the groom/bride doing a toast so I’d say no not weird, you’re good!

I am the same way. I think I’ll be even more frightened the day of.

All of the weddings I have been to, the groom spoke on behalf of the couple. A dissertation isn’t needed but a personal appreciation of the day to all that helped, is at the very least thoughtful.

I prefer to speak to my guests individually. I may decide to thank everyone at the end, but not sure on it. Not really planning any speeches from anyone.

At my friends little sisters wedding, she spoke and thanked everyone for coming. You don’t have to but some people do.

You certainly don’t have to. You could have your husband make a toast on both your behalves, if you want? But even that is not necessary.


My husband and I each said a couple sentences because we wanted to, but you don’t have to if you don’t want.

I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I think the only one who should be making toast are the Maid of Honor/Best Man and then anyone else who wants to wish you and the groom well on your new beginning of marriage.

It's not rude and many couples don't give toasts. You can thank them individually for coming when you make rounds after the ceremony but a toast is not required nor is it rude to skip them.
