How to Create the Perfect Holiday Toast
How to Create the Perfect Holiday Toast
As the consummate entertainer, I absolutely love planning events and inviting people into my home. I love hosting events out in the community as well. It is that connection that happens when people get together that I love most of all. It really makes planning a great event essential.
I'd like to think that is one of my top skills as a human being. I am a natural born connector. The idea of introducing a person to another when they might really have something in commonI have created friendships with a lot of people over the years.
This holiday season I am going to Bring the Sparkle as we share some of our favorite tips and tricks for hosting the perfect party. We present you with these tips on How to Create the Perfect Holiday Toast.
How to Create the Perfect Holiday Toast
Stand up and face your guests or audience.
Standing up in front of everyone gets attention and is a sign of respect. Wait for a few moments and then raise your glass when you are ready to begin speaking. Speak loudly and/or project your voice to fit the room.
Be brief. Be gracious. Be thankful.
Try to limit your toast to 45 seconds or less. Write it down or keep it on your phone for handy reference.
Pop open the Welch's
No toast is complete without the Welch’s Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Red Grape Cocktail. Simply pop it open and pour.
When in doubt…
Finally, when in doubt make this or something similar the screensaver on your phone. Super simple to use in case words escape you!
“May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past'
“May neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.”
“May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.”
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.”
About Welch’s
Welch's believes in the magic of family moments — and we've been helping families enjoy them for generations. It?s why we make delicious juices, jellies and jams, meant for sharing. Because every time you share a glass of juice or enjoy a sandwich, you share a special moment — whether it's at home or on the go.
I think having a toast handy is a great idea. This is especially true for the holidays and for weddings.
This is a great idea. We love sparkling juices for those who can’t or don’t drink alochol.
We always have Welch’s sparkling grape juice at our Christmas Eve dinner. It is perfect for celebrating.
A well thought out toast can be really nice! I’m definitely liking the idea of having some sparkling grape juice with dinner!
Man I haven’t had Welch’s Grape Juice in forever!!! What a great toast for the holidays!
My girls love Welch’s Sparkling and we share a bottle every New Year’s. Great tips on toasting. I am a horrible public speaker (and family toaster too lol) so I’ll implement a few of these techniques next time I have to give a toast.
This is one of my favorite juices of all time. I remember buying this to celebrate occasions when I was younger, before i was old enough to celebrate with champagne. I cannot wait to add this to my glass for the holidays.
I have always loved Welch’s sparkling juices. I always felt so fancy drinking it when I was a kid.
I’ve always been so nervous about giving toasts. It’s one of those moments I feel like you can hear a pin drop. I could use some Welches to practice.
I love these tips! Definitely trying all these for a perfect toast! Happy holidays!
I would love to try the Welch’s sparkling juices and have a great toast with my buddies.
What a great tips on how to create a perfect toast. I enjoy reading this and the juices sounds great and yummy..
A proper toast is a good topic.
This certainly could be very useful during this time of the year.
The kids love being able to toast with Welch’s Non-Alcoholic Sparkling White Grape Cocktail. It is delicious option for non drinkers.
That looks like a great toast to me! Love your stemless wine glasses.
Great tips. I don’t drink much wine and actually prefer Welch’s Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Red Grape Cocktail as my beverage.
We love making mocktails for the kids during the holidays!! I had not seen these in the store yet, I need to try to pick some up!
Thanks for sharing this. I cant wait to toast for the holidays and the new years with my friends and family! Glad this is an option for non-alcoholic drinkers and children!
While everyone else was going for the champagne on New Year’s, I was always going for the Welch’s Grape Juice. I just like the flavor better than champagne. It doesn’t have to be New Year’s for me to get Welch’s.
We all love Welch’s Sparkling drinks. I just bought several bottles last week.
I love to know how to create a perfect toast.. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Ah these are perfect for the holiday toast. Who doesn’t love Welch’s!
Thank you, this reminds me I need to get some of this soon, because they always run out closer to the New Year. We love Welch’s Sparkling White Grape Cocktail.
What a very well thought out toast.
Welch’s is what we’ve had at holiday celebrations for years.
I like the idea of keeping that speech as a screensaver. That can help in so many situations. I will have to pick up these drinks as well, so pretty!
I love getting the Welch’s juice for the kids for New Years Eve. They think they are drinking a grown up drink when they aren’t. 🙂
These look like great drinks. I’ve never actually had them before. I saw them at Walmart the other day. Next time I’ll have to grab some.
Oooooo great suggestions!!! Coming up with the perfect toast for anything can be tough!!!
That’s a lovely toast and I have to say I’m a fan of Welch’s Sparkling Cocktail! I’m going to memorize the toast and use it next time we have a gathering. We have a Slovenian toast in my family, but that wouldn’t go over to well in mixed company – hee-hee.
Cheers to a wonderful holiday! 🙂
The “be brief” part is important, in my opinion. Nobody likes someone who drivels on.
I really like these sparkling juices when they are ice cold. They go well with some popcorn and Scandal. ^yolonda
The wines looks so tasty. It is great to know how to have a perfect toast.. I enjoy reading your tips.
I love the idea of having it as a screen saver on your phone! That’s genius – I would have thought to put it ON my phone, but not my screensaver! Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
These are such great tips!! I love this post – having things to make toasts easier are so important for sure! They can be stressful!
Great holiday toast tips! We love Welch’s and their sparkling grape juices are festive enough for the holiday toast.
What a good idea to have the back up toast saved. I personally just saved it. We love the Welch’s, it’s fresh and crisp perfect for making a toast.
I’m going to get this for my aunt. She loves cocktails, but since she’s not young anymore, we can get her a bottle of Welch’s just so she can continue with tradition.
Thank you for this! I have never had to make a toast and I seriously would even know what to say or how to do it!
Great tips… I love Welch’s products,… always grab a bunch for holiday parties/dinners
Besides wine, sparkling grape juice is my fave! I can down it just like wine, haha!
