Abbi Jacobson's Toast-Writing Tips:
Do you have a wedding speech on the horizon, and you want to CRUSH it the first time? Abbi Jacobson shares her toast-writing tips!

  1. Get in the zone. Find a nice spot to clear your head and create some space to think of the couple at hand. Get comfortable, maybe set up a photo of them, some nice music, and you guessed it … grab your favorite flavor of Dogfish Head Canned Cocktail. Now you're ready to write this bad boy. 
  2. Make 'em laugh. Now this requires walking the tightrope of laughing both at them and with them. So, a partial roast of said couple (i.e., embarrassing and ridiculous moments or anecdotes you've specifically witnessed with them) and then figure out the best way to bring the rest of the room into that experience, without making your favorite couple too embarrassed. Make 'em sweat as you tell the story, but bring it home so they laugh along with everyone else. 
  3. Make 'em cry. This is where you bring it home. They've laughed, everyone has seen what a lovely and unique pairing these two human beings are. They all see why you, one of their best friends, have been tasked to make this speech. You're almost home! This is where you just have to be sincere. That can be hard, and scary (it's way easier with the end of tip #1). But this part is always worth it. Get vulnerable, baby. This is your shot! Make it count. You love these two, tell them exactly why.
