Maid of Honor Toast

2009-06-16T03:29:00.000-07:00

My sister was lucky to have been asked to be the Maid of Honor at her friend's wedding, but was then taken aback when she was asked to provide a maid of honor toast. She couldn't remember every having heard one before!

So she gratefully said Thank You to her friend and came to ask me.

I agreed with her -- traditionally, wedding receptions do not have a maid of honor speech. However that is just traditionally -- and "traditionally" does not mean that the practice is set in stone. In fact it is becoming more and more common to see speeches at wedding receptions that are more than just the traditional trio of Father of the Bride, Groom, and Best Man.

There are plenty of places where you can get advice to help with your maid of honor toast on the internet -- this one provides some useful insights, I have found. Have a look!

Wedding Reception Protocol

2009-06-16T03:14:00.000-07:00

So you are organising the Wedding Reception -- but what happens when? And what about the speeches? Who speaks first? Or does it matter?

The answer to all of these questions is: It Depends.

The thing is this: wedding reception protocol is all about tradition -- but you have to remember that just because something is tradition, it does not necessarily mean that it is the law (it usually isn't!).

However most people attending the wedding will be expecting something reasonably "normal", so you must be aware of what "normal" is -- what speeches are expected, what order they "should" be in, and so on.

I have found a site that describes Wedding Reception Protocol and provides some good insights that will put your mind at rest.

I think it will be worth a visit!
