It is probably the last thing bothering you as the final preparations for the big day are being addressed.  However, if you are choosing a normal rite, it is best that you ensure that the party is aware of the order of the wedding receptions speeches and toasts. 

When are the toasts offered? 

Naturally, it is up to you how you want to run your own wedding!  Generally, the main toasts begin shortly after the primary course is finished.  This happens before any cake is cut.  Occasionally, there is a welcoming toast at the cocktail hour before the marriage dinner.

What is the order of the marriage reception speeches? 

First up is the father of the bride who thanks all those for coming.  Naturally he toasts his child and welcomes the groom into his family. 

The daddy of the groom (sometimes although not always) speaks for the family, welcomes the bride and tells everybody how fortunate his child is! 

The groom sometimes next in the order of marriage speeches; His role in the toasts is to thank all those for coming to the event and in particular he will toast his bride.  He also needs time out thank his wedding party and family for all of the help he’s received. 

The groomsman or best man is next.  He can usually tell some stories with varying level of humor and sensitivity about the groom.  This is always the longest toast and in most circumstances the most anticipated. 

Next in the order is the bridesmaid-in-chief, who in a similar fashion (but with more sensitiveness) will tell the audience how proud she is to be in this role and what a great person the bride is. 

Eventually, in the typical order marriage or wedding reception speeches, the bride will take the floor.  She will re-affirm the thanks her man has given to everybody and will also recognize the help her folks, bridal party and naturally partner has given her over the past few months. 

Occasionally, the mother of the bride or maybe other family members speaks but that’s not as common as against the order set out above.
