Are we supposed to give a toast as well? Thanking people for being there and what not?

Re: Are you and FH giving toasts at your wedding?
I might give one at the RH if I have time to think up something. But no we aren't at the wedding.

I think we are giving one at the RD. My FH mentioned that it was strange that the last two weddings we went to the bride and groom didn't address their guests. I think it may be nice to say something quick and simple.

I was planning to say something... To thank everyone for coming, to thank my FH for everything he has done...........Knowing me, I'll crap out at the last minute b/c I hate talking in front of people.

I've never seen that done before. But I guess you can if you want to.

Re: Are you and FH giving toasts at your wedding?
We wanted to...we meant to...DH wrote a beautiful speech and all...we NEVER got around to! We barely made it to 2/3 of the tables because not only were our guests dancing, mingling and drinking but so were we!
In hindsight, yes, it would have been really nice to thank people for coming out (especially my family who was 100% OOT and my friend who came from Italy) but I think everyone was too busy having fun!
If you want to do it, plan it and tell your Maitre 'D so that he can keep you on schedule...that's what my DH said he wishes he would have done.

No, we're not. My cousin and her DH did at her California wedding. They had so many toasts/speeches. It was a nice touch, but I just don't think I can handle it. We will probably say something at the RD (I think - we haven't even discussed it.)

We didn't, but some people do and it's perfectly acceptable. Keep it short..

We did long mushy ones for our large RD crowd - we left the toasts to the BM and the MOH at the wedding.
It's a matter of personal preferance. If you feel comfortable, absolutely go for it!

Only at the rehersal- my FH already told me what he is going to say about me and it made me cry. I am glad he warned me!!!

We wont be, no. Although FH cousin and her fiance did so at their rehearsal dinner. I'm not sure I've seen a toast from the bride and groom at a wedding, but hey, nothing wrong with being different.
Its a nice gesture.....if you both are comfortable doing so, but definitely not necessary.

We're going to do a quick one to thank everyone for coming. Nothing crazy long and mushy.

Either me or FH will give a toast to thank everyone for their support. I always love to see when grooms get all chocked up when giving the toast and thinking his new bride.

We will. It's tradition in Ireland for the best man then the bride's father then the groom and finally the bride to give a toast. The guests even take bets on how long the speeches will last!
We did our thank you toast at the RD and then it was too busy the wedding day, we just forgot.

Re: Are you and FH giving toasts at your wedding?
Went went to a wedding where the groom gave a toast and it was awesome. I love it when the groom says sweet things about the bride and thanks everyone for coming. I think it is a nice touch. So yes FH will be saying a little something.
