Have you ever experienced (or imagined) embarrassing situations during a wedding toast?
So, you’re not the only one.
Many people have experienced uncomfortable and strange situations during the wedding toast and we have gathered some of them here for you to remember never to do.
Check out!
1. Don’t make an embarrassing joke about the bride or groom
The wedding toast is one of the most relaxed moments of the party and joy is always welcome, but when your toast turns into an unpleasant moment, you’ve crossed the line.
If you make comments about the bride’s body, weight or hair, for example, you should automatically be kicked out of the wedding!

2. Don’t talk about the bride or groom’s ex
Don’t be one of those inelegant people who get drunk and talk about the groom’s exes during the wedding toast.
3. Don’t hate anyone

4. Don’t improvise in your wedding toast
Have a plan! Write down what you are going to say and practice until you memorize it. If remembering things isn’t your strong suit, make little reminders to use during your wedding toast.
5. Don’t just talk about the person you know
If you’re friends with the bride, for example, even though she means the world to you and you’ve known her since kindergarten, it’s courteous to talk a little about the groom too, even if you don’t know him very well.
Don’t just talk about why she’s the best, but talk about how you two can be better together.

6. Don’t try to be a stand-up comedian if you’re not one
Not everyone is born with a comedic streak – in fact, if the world were full of people like that, it would be a nightmare!
Be authentic. Don’t try to make jokes if you’re not good at it, or you’ll end up in trouble.
7. Don’t talk too much about yourself
The wedding toast is not the right time to tell everyone your life story starting at the moment of conception. I know, it’s a very interesting thing, but people are there to celebrate the bride and groom, not you, so keep the focus on the two people who count.

8. Don’t make inside jokes
Save the inside jokes for times when you’re on the dance floor with your friends. After all, if you tell an inside joke during your wedding toast, few people will understand and that’s not the intention.
9. Don’t say that marriage is rubbish
If your marriage didn’t work out or if you think marriage is a failed institution, this is not the time to talk about it. Your friends are about to get married and you don’t want them to think they’re doing the worst thing they’ve ever done.

10. Don’t use this moment to announce your engagement, your pregnancy or whatever

You must understand that this is not your day!
Take this as a mantra. Repeat this ten million times until the thought of telling everyone you’re pregnant or getting married during someone else’s wedding toast becomes the craziest idea in the world. Because it’s the craziest idea in the world.
