Please help me figure out a logical and proper order for our toasts. We are having a seated dinner reception, and because we are having a sunset wedding, won't be seated until after 8:00. We are not religious and are opting for no blessing. We'd like to break up the toasts a bit between courses to let guests have a little to eat. Is this order acceptable, or can you suggest something else? Before salad course: Father of the Bride welcome and toast After salad course: Best Man Maid of Honor Groom's father
We can make our response following that, or maybe say a few words later before cake cutting. I know it is not traditional (not much about our wedding is), but I also want it to make sense somewhat. Do you think that could work? Our wedding is in less than two weeks, so a quick response would be appreciated!
Since you have stated that your wedding is not traditional, your sequence is very workable. It is customary for the best man to give the first toast and all others (if any) follow. Make the goal of the toasts to add levity, as well as personalization to the reception and you will be fine. Long speeches and toasts belong at the rehearsal dinner.
