    Found this online for you but in all honesty, I don't think it would really matter now a days. You can even have your MOH/Best man give them first.

    "The traditional wedding speech order goes father of the bride, groom, best man and other toasts. However, lots of brides now choose to give a speech, as do the bridesmaids or maid of honour. If you are including these, the order should go: father of the bride, groom, bride, bridesmaids/maid of honour, best man."

    I said a short thank you and then my maid of honor and then my husband said something to seg way into introducing the groomsman giving a toast. And then the father of my husband said some words. I don’t feel like there’s any one way to do it

    I think it is totally up to you what you want to do. At our wedding, it went father of the bride, best man, and bride's man. My maid of honor refused to give a speech so I asked my brother who was my bride's man to give a speech instead. My husband and I didn't give any speech at all, but you and your fiance can if you want.

    Whoever chooses to. They're not required even from the couple.

    I've always seen either the best man or maid of honor go first. I'm shy and will probably give a quick thank you and pass the mic off to my husband.

    I think who gives the toast has become one of those things that you decide based on how many speeches you want and who is comfortable with doing one, so it varies. We're only having the best man and MOH give a toast.

    Oh. Im sorry to hear that. There are only guidelines. I'm sure you can do it whichever order you'd like.

    In our family, the only speeches are from the MOH and Best Man. No one else speaks at the wedding. We did ask a family member to speak as well, but that’ll be it for us. The three of them is more than enough lol

    We shared hosting duties with my parents, so my dad gave the toast before dinner, and the BM gave a toast towards the end. My MOH hates public speaking, so we skipped hers.

    Do whatever you want - skip toasts, just FOB, just BM/MOH... whatever works for you!
