A wedding toast is usually a finale to a wedding speech, whether given by the groom, maid of honor, father of the bride, or any of the wedding guests. A wedding toast is generally a few words in honor of the newlyweds, followed by a unanimous drink sip from the guests. However, a funny wedding toast doesn't always equal a good wedding toast. If it's witty, it should be humorous and heartfelt in equal measure, be succinct and memorable, and serve as a fitting conclusion to the speech.
While the wedding speeches may quickly go south, for example, by cracking a few inappropriate mother-in-law jokes, such a blunder can quickly be erased (but never forgotten) by delivering a good wedding toast. Also, while funny wedding toasts said under the influence often turn out to be the most memorable events of the night, the wedding toast speech may not be the right time to drunkenly slur into a microphone. Thus, when it comes to wedding toasts, it's better to come prepared. Or keep some in the back pocket, just in case you are asked to deliver an impromptu wedding speech.
