2. Keep your bridesmaid toast short and simple. Write short and simple sentences to fill out your paragraph. This will make your speech or toast, coherent and cohesive. Brevity is the key to a good wedding toast.
3. When writing your bridesmaid wedding toast, use descriptive language. Show, don't tell. This means that you have to make use of similes, metaphors, and imagery. These devices are great to engage the attention of your listening audience.
4. Do not use fancy words. In line with keeping your speech short and simple, avoid using fancy words that can only be found in a dictionary or thesaurus. using dictionary words will only alienate most of your listening audience.
5. Spend the first part of your toast introducing yourself. Remember that not everyone knows who you are and what your role is in the wedding. You can write the middle part of your toast by telling humorous anecdotes and inspirational stories about the bride and groom. Next, write the last part of your bridesmaid toast by congratulating the bride and groom for reaching the next stage in their relationship.
