Welcome Toast Help!

I'm getting remarried in 5 weeks. We are both in our 50's and this is not our first wedding. Who should give the champagne welcome toast at the reception that is usually given by the bride's father to welcome the guests? My father is still alive and will of course be attending the wedding. We are planning and paying for the wedding ourselves, so I'm not sure what is correct here.

    I'm in my 20s and FH in his 30s - and we paid for our own wedding. My dad did the opening/welcome/prayer and DH's dad did the toast. I think you can do it anyway you like :-)

    Tradition is FOB toast - it is optional to have a welcome toast...you can also share thank you (for coming) remarks with your guests ...(after dinner and the other toasts if any would be an ideal time)

    We have decided to only have 2 toasts at during the reception. FH is giving our welcome toast. I am doing the thank you.
