How to toast the mother of a bride
A wedding toast to the bride's mother is sometimes made by the bride. She will thank her mother for all she has done for her.
Traditionally no, the mother of the bride does not give a speech at the wedding or at the wedding reception.
Traditionally, it's during the reception, usually as the first toast of the event. The first toast is usually delivered by the father of the bride followed by the groom then completed by the best man. However it is becoming more commonplace for the bride, the bridesmaid and sometimes the mother of the bride to say a few words also.
Often the groom will give a toast to his bride and also the Best Man. At the request of a parent it is quite acceptable for a father or mother to give a toast as well. There are no strict rules any long to what one wishes to do at their own wedding.

Joke: Why did the cannibal go to the wedding?Punchline: The cannibal went to the wedding to toast the bride and roast the groom (cos he's bigger).The joke plays on the words toast and roast as they relate to food.
I woke up in the morning and I went to the kitchen... and then for breakfast I ate toast!
