Who makes toasts at the reception?

At our wedding, the best man gave a speech and toast and my MOH (my mother) spoke briefly. DH and I did not make a speech, though we did speak to every guest at least briefly during the day.

It's whatever you/FH/your family/Bridal party are comfortable with.

Anyone you want! We had both of us, my dad, best man and maid of honour (we kept everyone short so it didn't go long). I've been to weddings where both dads spoke, where neither the groom o the best man spoke, it's what works for you and your group.

Back in the day it was only the Best Man, now it seems everyone under the sun makes a speech. My advice would be to limit the speech givers and keep them short.

I'm hoping it'll just be the BM for us, but I'll check with my attendants to see if they're interested.

Also, FH and I will be doing a SHORT thank you speech.

We don't have MOH or best man and parents don't want to speak so we're just doing a short, thanks for coming to celebrate and have fun!

I think most guests will agree that the less speeches the better. Very often, the parents will do a thank you at the rehearsal dinner,and I've seen the couple say a brief TY. Other than that, just the BM and MOH.

All the speeches don't have to be at the beginning; you could do your thank you when you cut the cake...

Anyone you would like to speak. At our wedding it was best man and matron of honor then my father. We kept all the speeches short

We aren't even doing toasts! Neither of the BM or MOH feel comfortable public speaking and my FI and I were not into the idea since we are both pretty reserved and didn't want that moment to be all about us (sounds funny I know but we would both find the moment very awkward). All we are doing is his dad is welcoming and saying a prayer at the rehearsal and my dad is welcoming and saying a prayer at our reception!

No rules. We're having my MOH and my FHs brother. My FHs BM is his 24 year old son who is not comfortable with public speaking (we asked him if he wanted to and left the decision to him). We will do a very short thank you to guests since we aren't doing a cake cutting.

This can be tough because so many people WANT to give speeches and it's hard to tell them no. We will have 4 toasts (My dad, BM, MOH, and one GM) and we are asking them to keep it to 3-4 minutes. The DJ has their names and is not going to "open it up" to other toasts. Hopefully no one comes and grabs the mic like they did at my brother's wedding...people who don't have prepared speeches tend to ramble. My FH and I are going to say a quick thank you at some point but I'm not sure when. The cake cutting is a good idea! FH will give a speech at the rehearsal dinner.

This one is completely your call, I just caution against having too many people do speeches/toasts. Our bridal party is only kids, but we're asking FH's uncle to do one toast. He's like a second dad to him, so it's a nice way to honor him.

Thank you all! I appreciate it

I don't think we'll do any at all. We're not having a WP. We may ask our officiant to do a short blessing prior to the opening of the buffet, and I may see if FH wants to do a quick "thank you for coming" prior to cutting the cake.

At our wedding, it was the Best Man, a joint toast with the Maid and Matron of Honor, my dad, and my stepdad. His family didn't feel comfortable speaking in front of so many people.

My FH doesn't trust his BM to make a speech and my MOH is indifferent on making one or not so we probably won't have speeches. He's half Korean and I'm Filipino so we may have someone from each of our families (none are in our BP) do a traditional toast from each culture. The FH also has anxiety so the plan is that he'll stand next to me when I say our thank you's. That'll pretty much be all the public speaking planned expect for the MC.

The set I've seen most is father of the bride, MOH, best man and the couple thanking their guests for coming.

We are only doing BM and MOH. i'm not a fan of a million toasts. if others want to speak, they can do so at the rehearsal dinner.

I was just asking my coworker this question. My FMIL apparently wants to give a toast and asked my FH if she could. I told him I thought only the MOH and Best man gave a toast and he was upset. I'm probably going to let her give hers but I didn't want too many speeches

At our wedding, the Best Man and a bridesmaid made a toast (my MOH didn't feel like doing one- long story).

We're most likely going to have FHs brother,my bridesmaids (whoever wants to will keep it under a minute...I don't have a MOH), our dad's and us.
