A Toast for Your Special Day

Present an after dinner speech honoring a person(s) close to you, as if this were their special day.

Suggestions

Toast them, present an award, roast them, eulogize them, congratulate them, wish them happy birthday, wish them a happy anniversary, or send them off into the world. Special days may be graduation, promotion, retirement, presentation of an award, landmark birthday, anniversary, funeral, wedding etc. In preparing the assignment, keep the tone light. A special occasion presentation is a semi-informal speech meant to inform and/or entertain.
