Party Etiquette for Toasting

Giving a toast to the person of honor at any special occasion adds a meaningful element to the day's event. Sometimes towards the end of the meal, a guest can simply stand up, raise their glass, and announce that you would like to make a toast. You can briefly share what you appreciate most about the honoree of the party, a special memory you have of them, or attributes that you admire about them in their presence with your guests to hear.

Say CHEERS!!

Everyone will in turn raise their glass and say "Cheers!" I can guarantee it is something the honoree will never forget.  It seems as though we always mean to tell people why we admire them, but all too often those things aren't shared so this is the perfect opportunity to do so in front of everyone. Even if you aren't used to speaking in public or in front of others, take the time to practice a short speech as a gift to them on the special celebration.

Feel free to use a 3" x 5" note card to write down some notes if you need to or rehearse your little speech before the actual event. Don't worry if you think there may be a few tears or even laughter. They'll be tears of happiness or gratitude. Make the most of every opportunity to build others up and share your generous hospitality.

 

Open Carefully!!

Use care when opening a bottle of champagne or wine. The contents are under pressure and the cork stoppers can popup abruptly. Put a dishtowel or something over the stopper when opening it, for safety. The secret to a fantastic toast is making it authentic, genuine and heartwarming. Parties are a great opportunity to make a toast, be it a wedding, birthday or anniversary.

Invitations can be created in a variety of sizes such as square shape, rectangular, or vertical sizing. They already contain the background in them so you can just personalize the text info and add anything else you like then print it yourself or anywhere locally. They are special since you created them without all the hard work. Invites are still very appropriate to send in the mail, the old fashioned way because the recipient has something tangible to hold as opposed to an email notification.

Sending it via US postal will never go out of date because the hard-copy invite serves as a reminder and people tend to remember the occasion more when they have something to hold on to. The possibilities are endless as far as your creativity goes. You can embellish them as much or as little as you like. There are some beautiful invitations ready for immediate downloading to your computer whether it’s on a Mac or Windows computer.

Another benefit is that you are able to use them as much as you like without any additional costs. The template file continues to remain on your computer system until you choose to delete it off. What more can you ask for? How about superior customer support and an exceptional product? I personally have found a great website that offers this called Celebration Templates. There are literally hundreds if no thousands of predesigned templates ready for the asking!
