As we near the end of summer along California’s Central Coast, many people think that wedding season
is on the wane. However, with striking views and nearly 200 wineries, Paso Robles Wine Country is a popular
venue for late summer and early fall weddings. As a member of the wedding
party, or even a close family friend, you may be asked to make a toast to the
couple. After taking a moment to put your nerves at rest, you might be left
wondering how to make a memorable toast.
Here are 3 tips for making a
memorable toast:
Keep it short:
Before you start working on what you’re going to say, the first thing to remember
is brevity. Keep your sentiments short. It’s easier for people to pay attention
and your words will be more memorable.
Have someone
introduce you: It’s hard to get the group’s attention, especially during
a festive event. Research shows that when someone else introduces you, the
group is more likely to give you the floor, pay attention, and see you as an
authority. Your introduction need not be grand, just a short, “Here’s ______
with a few special words."
Tell a story:
We all come from a long line of storytellers, so it’s no wonder that we’re
hardwired to prefer short narratives. Whether you’re telling a story about the
bride or the groom—or both—remember that the best anecdotes entertain and make
a point, but don’t embarrass.
Life’s special moments are meant to be celebrated and
shared. If you’re asked to make a toast, a few simple tips can help you make
one that’s memorable. As for the perfect gift— a membership to The Paso
Robles Wine Club will provide the couple a selection of wines to make the most of life’s special events. Our club
members enjoy regular shipments of unique, boutique wines from Paso Robles Wine Country and always
include wines to enjoy now and others, to put away for a special event.
Cheers!
