Champagne Toast - Necessary or Not?

Not necessary, but I'm looking forward to it! My uncle also gave us two monogrammed champagne flutes from Tiffany's, so we'll be using those. I wouldn't have bought myself something like that, but it was really nice of him to do it.

I don't think it's necessary. Toast with what you have, at least that way I know you like what you're drinking.

We will have alcohol at our wedding and I plan on having a campaign toast at the end.

Nope. Don't like champagne. He and I are not big drinkers, we will not be having alcohol at our reception. And well, I'm really not thinking big on a toast either.

Yes, I do feel like this is necessary. This is the official celebration drink time, to congratulate the couple and let them know how much they are valued for choosing those people to celebrate with them.

We are having an open beer, wine, and champagne bar with hard liquor for purchase. During the toast, the guests can sip on whatever they've chosen from the bar, be it champagne or not.

We are skipping this. I am not a champagne fan at all! I do like the idea of the flute though so we will have some other kind of drink in them probably!

A few of the venues I've been looking at include it in their package, and I guess if we end up going with those we will end up doing it! But I am with another poster who didn't know that was a tradition until I saw it listed in the packages - at every wedding I can remember, we've just toasted with whatever drink we had (I usually go with pinot grigio at weddings to keep things simple). If we go with a venue that doesn't include it, I won't be adding it on - people can use whatever they get from our open bar.
