I got this book as I was attending a wedding and I needed to make a VERY important toast. I was guided by June Cotner and Nancy Tupper Ling all the way to the podium. Not only are there marvelous examples and offerings of toasts for all occasions but also a very important etiquette guide to show you when and how to say the right words at the right time.This is far and away the best book on the subject. I got it because it was a bestseller in the ":Speeches" category and now I see how.Bravo and cheers!
This is a brilliant book! An updated resource filled with modern AND classic quotes for toasts! It's a great hostess gift or for any occasion. Beautifully laid-out and written, you will want to read the handbook-like publication from cover-to-cover or a chapter a night to fill your senses and inspire your life, let alone as great toasting ideas! When I was 18 and very nervously did my first official toast at my dad's 50th birthday party, it was a moment that became a highlight that evening and a toast I will never regret giving. I love toasts! I am excited to have wonderful ideas to help me not miss those special, sometimes once-in-a-lifetime moments, with a simple but rich toast. (In case you are wondering, my dad's was from one of his favorite movies, "To my dad Jerry, the richest man in town."). Thank you authors, June and Nancy!
I love this book! In our busy lives we tend to forget that life is full of many moments worth celebrating! Thanks to the authors for reminding us to take a moment and toast -- friends, family, even our pets! Makes a wonderful holiday gift -- pair it with a favorite bottle of wine. Enjoy!
So special. Sometimes I want to say something important or touching or funny, but I cannot find the right words. This book gives me those perfect words. Also, it makes a great gift when everyone else is bringing a bottle of wine - you bring Toasts!
Toasts is a wonderful resource. Toasts and graces old and new are readily available in this beautifully designed book. I didn't know I didn't know how to toast until I read the guide to toasting. Memorable occasions are often made by the words spoken and felt by the community gathered. This book will help you put words to the feelings in your heart.
I read through this book and found some toasts that I cannot imagine a situation at which it could be used. Some of the others are more like a prayer. Still, this is a good starting point for a wedding toast or other situation when you don't want to get tongue tied.
If you've been asked in advance to give a toast at anything from a wedding to a family dinner and can't come up with anything witty or profound, "Toasts" has your back. It's a very useful, attractive and, best of all, inspiring little book. I'm looking forward to giving an Inuit Toast:"May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp and peace in your heart."
A very good reference tool providing "Toasts" for every occasion. Very well organized with all occasions arrayed alphabetically so you can easily choose from a lengthy list of quotes to meet your need.
