Champagne Toast - Necessary or Not?

A toast is necessary - but not the champagne

Not 100% necessary. Especially if the venue requires you to use a specific (most of the time dry and gross) champagne. Some people won’t drink it anyway. They can toast with whatever drink they’d like.

I see this as a age old tradition I want in my ceremony!

Nope! Toasts are usually boring

Definitely doing this one... Well wishes are always needed and guests look forward to it.

Our wedding is at a vineyard, so we may do a champagne toast just because we can easily incorporate it as part of the bar cost which is wine and beer only anyways. But if it's not an option, I'm perfectly happy with people toasting with whatever they have.

Not necessary, but we decided to do it anyways

This one is a toss up for me. Although I love the idea of toasting with champagne, it is very expensive for a couple paying for their own wedding. Still sitting on this one!

Necessary and ours was free!

View Quoted Comment I agree Catherine! A toast is necessary but whatever you want to use is up to you!

The toast is needed, but does not have to be champagne. The only reason we are specifically doing a champagne toast is because my godfather paid for champagne for my parents wedding and my dad wants to pay for champagne for our toast.

I didn't want one. I feel its just a chance to have me break down in tears of a touching speech, however my best friend is doing it. She insists on it.

Not necessarily champagne but toasts are well wishes.

Literally never seen this

Toast with whatever works best for you! My family happens to love champagne so there will definitely be a champagne toast along with a champagne wall!

Not necessary for it to be champagne. People can toast with whatever they are drinking, especially since many in FH's family do not drink and would feel left out.

Not a lot of our friends like champagne so everyone will just be toasting with whatever they're drinking

We're not champagne drinkers so that's a no from us.

Not entirely necessary and definitely not with champagne. Short speeches, maybe 2 per side, and drink of choice because there are people who don't like champagne and Champagne is expensive

Didn't even know this was a thing so i'm gonna say not necessary.
