Since then, it has become an essential part of any wedding. Although, there are various ideas to raise a toast for the wedding but, these unique toasts ideas from the world can make your toast for the wedding super amazing.
Paper wishes in glass

For your wedding, you can write good wishes for the couple and drink it down to wish them all the luck.
Toast with eye contact
In France, Germany and Czech Republic, it is believed that breaking eye contact would bring lots of bad luck.
