Step 3Be brief

A toast can be as short as a few seconds or as long as three minutes. Any longer than that and you risk losing your audience. Remember, this isn't a speech and it isn't a roast. It's an informal, festive gesture that's been passed down through the ages. It's meant to be enjoyed by all involved, so try to keep it short and sweet.
