What to include

Four things
worth saying.

The toasts people remember are short, personal, and about the couple rather than the speaker. One good story, told well, does more than ten minutes of general praise.

Who you are.

One line on how you know the couple, for the guests who have never met you.

One story.

Choose a moment that shows who they are: generous, stubborn, funny, loyal. Give MyScribe the facts and it will shape the telling.

Both of them.

If your story is about one partner, say what you have seen since they met the other.

The raise.

End with a wish for their life together and a clear cue to lift a glass.

What to leave out

And how long
to make it.

Inside jokes that only three people in the room will understand.
Former partners, and anything you would not say in front of grandparents.
Reading a list of adjectives with no story behind them.

Length. Spoken aloud, 400 words is about three minutes, which is right for most wedding toasts. Choose 150 for a brief raise of the glass, or 800 for a longer speech of five to six minutes.

Common questions

Before you begin.

How long should a wedding toast be?

Two to four minutes is the usual advice. At an ordinary speaking pace that is roughly 300 to 500 words, so the 400-word option fits most toasts.

Can it be funny?

Yes. Choose the Funny, Witty, or Playful tone and include the real stories you want to tell. MyScribe works from your details and is instructed not to invent anecdotes about the couple.

How much does a wedding toast cost?

Reading the opening is free, with no account or card. If you want the rest, the complete message is $2.99 USD, paid once, at any of the three lengths. There is no subscription.

Why not use a general AI chatbot?

You can, if you have one and don’t mind working out what to ask and asking again until the tone is right. MyScribe is built only for messages like this one: describe the situation once, choose a tone, and the wording is handled. There is no account to set up, and you only pay if the free opening sounds right.
