In Jehovah's Witness beliefs, alcohol consumption is generally discouraged, so traditional wedding toasts with alcoholic beverages may not be appropriate. However, non-alcoholic toasts or speeches expressing well wishes and gratitude are typically acceptable. It is advisable to consult directly with your future spouse's family or a Jehovah's Witness elder to ensure that the wedding reception aligns with their beliefs and practices. This open communication will help ensure a respectful and harmonious celebration for all involved.

Answer Jehovah's Witnesses are prohibited from celebrating birthdays. Depending on the situation, an individual Jehovah's Witness may politely accept or decline a birthday gift offered in private, but it may be better not to even offer a birthday present. EDIT: we don't accept them. but it depends on the situation and individual. if you are fully aware that the person is JW, then they can reject your gift. if you aren't it will be left as a matter of choice. so to avoid conflicts, don't offer gifts which are tied to birthdays or christmas. Edit: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate secular holidays because of their Bible trained conscious. Most holidays have a pagan beginning and have no place in a Christians life. I a Witness could choose to accept a gift depending on the circumstances.
