Traditional Order of Wedding Toasts

In the traditional order of wedding toasts, the toast to the bride comes first. Many people believe, after all, that this is the bride's special day. So it only makes sense that the bride is toasted first. This toast is typically made by the best man, but can also be made by a relative or friend. In recent years, the toast to the bride as been replaced by a toast to both the bride and groom.

Once the toast to the bride is complete, the groom rises to respond. The groom's response will include words to the bride, which are often an affirmation of the first toast. The groom then thanks the best man (or whoever proposed the first toast) and also thanks the parents attending the wedding, both his and his bride's. The groom's response closes with a toast to the bridesmaids.

After the groom finishes speaking, the best man responds. The traditional response of the best man is to thank the groom on the bridesmaids' behalf. The best man's response can be followed by the toasts of others, including ushers or close friends.

The traditional order of wedding toasts is closed out by the father of the bride. His job is to thank all of the wedding guests on behalf of him and his wife. He then announces the commencement of wedding festivities.

Answer 6

BEST MAN

FATHER OF THE BRIDE

GROOM

BRIDE

CHEIF BRIDESMAID

Answer 7

The way it is done in the UK is:

The Best Man

The Brides Father

The Grooms Father

The Groom

The Matron of Honour

The Bride

And then The Best Man Finishes with The Reading Of the Cards or Telegram's.

It is Very unusual for any of the women in the bridal party including the bride to speak, but I have seen the bride speak before but never the Matron Of Honour.

The way I see it, is it's YOUR wedding so you let who ever you want to speak including yourself.  The above is the correct way to set the speeches out.

Answer 8

Make it a contest! The first one to correctly spell "speech" gets to go first.

Also make sure all speakers get liqoured up. It makes this crappy part of the wedding reception less boring.

Answer 9

Bride

Father Of Bride

Groom

BEst Man

M. O. H

Answer 10

There is no real preset or traditional list as to who goes first in the speeches, however here's one of the more common ways I've seen with clients for their weddings.

(this can also be done for toasts as well)

Best Man

Father of the Bride (or parents, sometimes mom wants to talk too)

Maid of Honor

Father of the Groom (or parents, sometimes mom wants to talk too)

A sibling or friend of the bride

A sibling or friend of the groom

Bride & Groom

that's the shortest list. Maximum talk time, is about a minute and a half (especially if you have a series of folks that want to talk.)

Good luck.

Answer 11

The traditional order for your wedding speeches starts with the father of the bride, the groom and then best man.
