Birthday toasts and speeches
Birthday toasts are a great way to help friends or family celebrate the passing of another year.
What is best to say depends on the age of the celebrant. The
toddler at right can dispense with any speeches or formalities: he
just wants his cake.
Special occasions -- such as an 80th or 90th birthday -- call
for celebrations
of wisdom and maturity. You'll want to express thoughts that are classic, in good taste and heartfelt.
There is more latitude for what you can say to those who are celebrating
their middle ages. Check out the collection of sayings that
celebrate those
glorious middle ages with a sense of humor.
After a person turns 30 or older, aging jokes are commonplace. Just be sure the humorous stories don't hurt anyone's feelings.
There
are traditional flowers and gemstones that match specific ages so you might want to refer to a birthday month chart
as
you develop your toast.
