Thanksgiving day dinner that begins with a toast sets the stage for a memorable holiday meal.

Thanksgiving Day dinner toasts among family and friends.

Thanksgiving Toast Before the Meal

  • These toasts include words of thanks for the guests and those who made the meal.
  • I just wanted to say a few words to mark the occasion. Spending time with family (and good friends) always feels warm and satisfying. Thank you to everyone who helped prepare this meal. We appreciate all the hard work you have done.
  • Thanksgiving is a time to remember all that we have been blessed with this past year - good health and good friends, security and prosperity, and the love of family. I want to give special thanks for having you all with us today.
  • We were all deeply saddened this past year by the loss of loved ones. But we must remember to always be thankful for the time that we had together, and for all of the memories that we shared.
  • Let us all give thanks for the bounty that we are about to receive. Let us pray for good health, good times and success in the coming year.
  • Thank you all again for coming, you have really made this night special.

Thanksgiving Toast: Thanking God

  • Thanksgiving is a time when we each take the opportunity to remember the many blessings that God has bestowed upon us in the past year, and thank the Lord for watching over us and keeping those we love safe. On this special occasion, I would like to give thanks for the chance to come together and spend time with such a wonderful group of people, in celebration of our love and in appreciation for all of God's many miracles.

Thanksgiving Toasts of Wisdom

  • May we be granted to have our feet planted deeply in the past; our mind keenly absorbed wit the present; and our minds directed unafraid toward the future.
  • The time to be happy is now, the place to be happy is here; the way to be happy is to make others so.

Thanksgiving Toasts With Humor

Here's to the great American bird,

Who has fettered our heart with his cable,

Till no Thanksgiving can seem complete

Without the turkey on the table

Here's to the venturesome Puritans,

Of valiant Mayflower stock;

And here's to the good old boat that anchored

Somewhere off Plymouth Rock.

Then here's a health to all of you

Who're glad that you're a-living,

And may you see much cause for which

To celebrate Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day holiday toasts can become a tradition that can be followed by lighting a candle in honor of those who cannot be at the table.
