New Year’s Toasts: A Five-Step Formula for the Perfect New Year’s Toast by: Joanna Fuchs Do you want to give an impressive, memorable New Year’s toast at this year’s New Year’s Eve Party? Follow these five easy steps for the perfect toast. Or you can use the completed toast in the article. Use this five-step formula to create your own foolproof New Year’s toast: ● Describe the good and bad aspects of the old year, both in a positive light. ● Make a positive statement or statements about the coming new year. ● Make a suggestion for a positive change in the new year. ● Acknowledge and compliment the people present at your toast. ● Raise your glass higher and make one final short, positive statement about the new year. Now let’s see how it works by actually creating a toast you can use: Describe the good and bad aspects of the old year, both in a positive light: “Here’s to 2005: Let’s be thankful for the favorable situations it brought us, especially those we grabbed hold of and thrived on. Here’s to the not-so-fortunate things that happened and the valuable lessons we learned from them, even if it’s only ‘I’ll never do that again!’” Make a positive statement or statements about the coming new year: “Here’s to 2006: Let’s look forward to it with happy anticipation. In the bright new year, let us pursue success and happiness as always, Make a suggestion for a positive change in the new year, one that everyone can nod their heads to, even if they don’t intend to make the change. Avoid lecturing or preaching: and yet let us think a little less about ourselves and a little more about how we can help others. Those opportunities are numerous; let us take at least one of them.” Acknowledge and compliment the people present at your toast: “And here’s to all of you (wave glass around). How privileged we are to know each other. In the new year, let us find out more about each other, enjoy each other’s talents and gifts, and encourage each other.” Raise your glass higher and make one final short, positive statement about the new year: “To 2006 (raise glass higher)—the best year ever!” Following these five steps, you can create a great New Year's toast each and every year.
