Starting off, keep it simple, heartfelt and zero negativity. Talk about something related to those who took all the in making the dinner a success. Talk about how either the bride or the groom have been an inevitable part of your life and may add a line as to how amazing they are looking as a couple. Then you can talk about how it was a good experience to meet the family of either the bride or the groom. Making the 2 families comfortable about each other and welcoming them in your larger family will be another good idea for rehearsal dinner toasts. It would most probably be the case that some gifts are going to be exchanged at the party. That is a perfect time to give the toast. Another very important thing is to have an eye contact primarily with the bride and groom and then with the others. This makes a huge difference in the way the pre wedding speeches are delivered.
