Skip the Champagne Toast. Do This Instead

Having a toast at your wedding is one of the most special and memorable moments of your reception. It’s a time when all of your guests can pause from eating dinner or from breaking it down on the dance floor, to cheers to you and the love of your life, wishing you a strong future of health and happiness. It’s one of the most engaging and special moments of the evening. That’s why it’s usually christened with some bubbly. But if champagne isn’t your thing or you’re looking to make your wedding as personalized as possible, it’s okay to skip the champagne toast and do this instead.

1. Your Favorite Shot

If there’s a specific liquor that you adore, you can have that poured into mini shot glasses for your guests to toast you with and then drink. Not everyone may be up for taking a shot, but if it’s something you want to do, you can make it the optional toasting alcohol for guests who are up for it.

2. A Signature Cocktail

If you’ve invested time into thinking about a signature cocktail that you’d like to have at your wedding, you can tell guests that’s what they should fill their glasses with for the toast. This will be more personal for your reception and for the toast.

3. A Non-Alcoholic Beverage

If you’re not a big drinker or you have a lot of younger guests at your wedding and you want to get them involved, you can skip the alcohol and have your cater make a beverage that’s fun for everyone to drink. Maybe it’s your favorite kind of soda or something old school like a Shirley Temple.

4. A Non Traditional Toast

Skip the toast all together and have all your guests meet you on the dance floor for a moment of everyone getting down on the dance floor to your favorite song. Sometimes this is an even more fun way to have your guests toast you with well wishes.
