After most of the guests have arrived at the engagement party, it' time for the father of the bride to make a toast. Either wine or champagne can be poured for the toast.
When the person giving the toast asks everyone to raise their glasses, don't raise yours. You are also not suppose to drink to yourself after the toast, but today, many couples clink their glasses and take a sip.
After the toast the bride and groom should briefly address the gathering to thank the person who gave the toast, the host of the party, and the friends and family members who came out to celebrate their party event. If both sets of parents haven't been introduced to everyone, it's time to make the introduction.
After the Party you have to send a note and a gift to the host. If a parent hosted the party, you don't have to send a gift. Flowers make a wonderful gesture for any occasion. Candles, chocolates, soaps, picture frames, wines also make fine gifts.
