Who usually gives the rehearsal dinner speech?+
Traditionally the hosts—often a parent of the couple—welcome everyone, but couples, siblings and friends give rehearsal dinner toasts too. ToastGiver shapes the speech around your role.
How is it different from a reception toast?+
It is more relaxed and focused on welcome and thanks. The big emotional tribute is usually saved for the reception, so the two speeches should not repeat each other.
How long should a rehearsal dinner speech be?+
Two to four minutes works for most hosts. If several people speak, keep each toast closer to two minutes.
Is this a separate purchase?+
No. A rehearsal dinner welcome is one of the wedding speech types inside the same ToastGiver wedding collections ($349 Complete, $499 Plus), with a free personalized preview first.
