Do you give an engagement toast at the beginning or end of engagement party?

Answer:
  • When all guests have arrived and the couple who is is seated at a special table this is the time for any toasts anyone may give. Generally the person putting the engagement party on for the couple will clink their glass and say 'I would like to make a toast to _______________.' If it's informal the engagement party is at the host's home then let everyone welcome the engaged couple and after about an hour when people are more settled clink the host/hostess should clink their glass with a fork or spoon and toast the young couple. Do not leave toasting to the end of the party as some people may have to leave early, or, some people may have had too much to drink and guests are too scatter. You want their full attention to honor the young couple that are engaged.
