Toasts

One thing to keep in mind when putting together your time line is when to schedule the toasts. I’ve found that if you have a toaster who is not comfortable speaking in front of people, it may be better to do the toasts early in the cocktail of dinner hour. Several times I’ve seen a well meaning but nervous person end up giving a less than stellar toast simply because they drank a little too much to try to relax. You may want to also tell those who will be giving toasts that if they’re nervous, they can always keep it short. I’ve never heard a concise toast that bombed.
