    Toast Speech

    The beginning of your toast should grab your audience’s attention

    It is important to keep the remarks brief because toasts are generally given in the middle of
    celebrations and they are not the main part of the event

    The goal of a toast is to focus the attention on the person or persons being toasted

    The true act of toast involves everyone in the group or community that is present during the
    occasion. So even if somebody proposes a toast to someone, raises his glass, and take a sip but no
    one responds, it will not count as a toast

    Roast Speech

    It is designed to give both praise and a good-natured insult to a person being honored

    Tribute Speech

    It is written to honor a specific person

    To build strong relations and to remember those who have died

    It may also remind us of the things or persons we love the most
