A #tequilatoast isn’t just about ditching the Champagne (ok, Prosecco for you cheap lot at the back), it’s about the attitude of tequila. It’s about creating a memorable moment as opposed to just doing what’s expected and reciting the usual clichés.
It’s being a bit daring, possibly even, a little bit naughty. It’s having a massive smile on your face and spreading that to others. It’s ensuring a great speech isn’t let down by a boring toast.
Like every aspect of the day, your wedding toast should be a true reflection of you as a couple.

THE TEETOTAL OPTION
Teetotal weddings are becoming more popular and a great option for couples who want to remember every minute of the day! Chai tea will add a hearty glow to everyone’s cheeks.

Lots of couples are choosing to get hitched in distilleries or breweries. Why wouldn’t you want to make the most of your venue and tuck in?
A cool little idea; create a proper moment with your #tequilatoast by getting personalised shot glasses for your guests. We found some on Etsy. Surprisingly affordable and a favour your guests might actually use.
A #tequillatoast isn’t just about what you drink, but the spirit of what you say.
The one rule is your #tequilatoast must be completely original. It doesn’t need to be complicated or overly clever but it has to be lovingly crafted by you (or at least some toasty experts like us). Here are some examples – ‘Please raise your glass to…
