This review is from: Diane Warner's Complete Book of Wedding Toasts: Hundred's of Ways to Say "Congratulations!" (Paperback)

An english degree? You've got to be kidding! This airy book is full of the obvious, the trite, and the truly embarrassing - note the section on (gasp) "clever" limericks! Many of these suggestions are not only lacking in eloquence, they are utterly inappropriate. Those that are appropriate are merely obvious. Speak from your heart, and don't waste your money on this trash!

This review is from: Diane Warner's Complete Book of Wedding Toasts: Hundred's of Ways to Say "Congratulations!" (Paperback)

From Best Man (which I am) to quick fill-in speeches, Diane offers a full array of eloquently written short and long speeches. Don't read them verbatim unless you have an english degree and everyone in the room knows it. It had to tone mine down a bit but better to have it than not.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a fine place to start on your toast, May 13, 2007

This review is from: Diane Warner's Complete Book of Wedding Toasts: Hundreds of Ways to Say "Congratulations!" (Hal Leonard Wedding Essentials) (Paperback)

I disagree with the one star reviewer... This is a simple straightforward discussion with examples of toasts and ideas for toasts by all the important members of the wedding party. All the examples of toasts are brief (and let's keep it that way at the event too). There are helpful suggestions on presentation style, preparation, suitable content for toasts, and other useful items. I bought two copies...one for the couple and one for the parents. If it saves some time and helps them put together beautiful toasts, the book is easily worth the cost.
