Toasts, speeches, and tributes that sound like you.
You know the stories. You know what the person means to you. Toast Writer helps you turn that into something worth saying out loud.
Real output from an actual run on the details below — one of three versions it wrote, nothing reworded.
The details
Retirement toast for Maria. Worked together for 12 years; she was my mentor. Stories: She stayed late to help me through my first big presentation. She remembered everyone's birthday. She started every Monday with a corny joke that somehow made the week better. Tone: warm and funny.
Real run, 2026-10-08 — one of the tool's own built-in examples. It also wrote a story-led and a shorter version.
I've worked with Maria for twelve years, and she's been my mentor through all of it. I want to tell you a few things about her before she goes. When I was preparing for my first big presentation, I was nervous — really nervous. Maria stayed late to help me through it. No fanfare, no big speech about believing in me. She just stayed, and we worked through it together. She remembered everyone's birthday. Not just the milestone ones — everyone's. There's something about that kind of attention that makes you feel seen. And every Monday, without fail, she started the week with a corny joke. The kind that makes you groan a little. But somehow, it always made the week better. Maria, thank you for twelve years of showing up, remembering, and starting Mondays the right way. Congratulations on your retirement. [RAISE GLASS] To Maria.
Usually one to three minutes. A wedding toast from a best man or parent can run to about three; retirement, birthday and dinner toasts work best around one or two. Short and specific beats long and general.
Who you are to the person, one or two specific stories that show who they are, a line about what they mean to you or others, and a clear finish that raises the glass. Skip inside jokes nobody else will get.
Say their name and raise your glass: 'Please join me in raising a glass — to Maria.' A clear final line tells everyone when to drink.
It is built only from the stories and details you give it, in the tone you choose, and it writes three versions so you can pick the one that sounds most like you. Read it aloud and change any line you wouldn't say.
