1. When writing your speech or toast, make a single, unifying theme and then stick with it all throughout your speech. This will keep your toast short and simple while allowing you the flexibility of telling humorous anecdotes and inspirational stories.
2. Keep your speech short and simple. This means that you have to avoid long-winded sentences and fancy words. Just use regular, conversational English when writing your toast. Avoid using words that can only be found in the dictionary or thesaurus. This will allow your audience to identify better with your toast.
3. Use descriptive words when writing your toast. Use simile, metaphor, imagery when writing up your toast so that you can engage the imagination of your listening audience. Show, don't tell. This is the oldest advice that creative writers can give you.
4. Write the first part of your toast by introducing yourself. Remember that not everyone in the wedding knows who you are. Just give out a simple introduction by saying your name and what your role is in the wedding. The middle part of the toast should be for telling inspirational stories or humorous anecdotes. Just keep the story telling within the theme of your toast. The last part of your toast should the obligatory congratulations to the bride and groom.
5. Avoid making references to old relationships. Avoid excessive use of swear words, double meaning jokes or inside jokes. This will only alienate your listening audience and may even be insulting to most of them.
