Have you ever been to a wedding where the best man or maid of honor has given funny wedding toasts? I have and it made the wedding for me, so much more entertaining. Funny wedding toasts just add a little extra to the event. A comical wedding toast can be a great way to get a wedding reception started. They can get everyone if the mood to have a good time.

Not everyone may be a fan of funny wedding toasts. They are not fans because they don’t think they can pull off an entertaining wedding toast or they shy away from funny wedding toasts because they want to express their love happiness for the groom in a respectful and caring way. What they don’t realize is that anyone can be funny. And that anyone can give a humorous wedding toast with love and respect.

If you are the best man or maid of honor at a wedding you have probably known the groom or bride for a very long time. Use that friendship as a starting block for your funny wedding toasts. There is probably no limit to the funny stories have come from your long relationship with one another. In fact, there may be so many it may be tough to figure out which ones to include.

There are a couple of tricks to help you wade through the plethora of stories. First, funny wedding toasts can be great if the stories incorporated are true. You will get more laughs with a true story then you will with an embellished one. Stories from childhood and college make great additions to funny toasts at any wedding reception. Second, the story should be appropriate for the setting. For example, if you would not tell the story to your mother or grandmother, the story is probably not suitable for wedding guests.

It is up to the best man or the maid of honor to tell those stories to the wedding guests. Funny wedding toasts are a great way to give the wedding guests a little insight into what the bride and groom are really like. Most of the guests probably don’t know the bride and groom as well as you does, so these stories can be very entertaining for them. For example, “Stacy is so much fun; she will do anything for a laugh. I remember the first time I met Stacy, it was at a Jimmy Buffet concert, and she was wearing a parrot on her head, a grass skirt and a coconut bra. She looked ridiculous!” That is sure to get some laughs from the wedding guests. 

Finally, once you are sure that you have a true and fitting story, tell it in a loving and caring way. If you tell the story from your heart, funny wedding toasts can be lovely and loving, caring and funny all at the same time. If you follow the simple tricks above, you can have the perfect story needed to create an entertaining wedding toast. A toast that will please everyone from the bride and groom to the wedding guests.
