[Description of Event] Best Man’s Toast [Time of Event] 08:05 PM [Notes (if applicable)] 
Traditionally the toast are prior to the meal. We have found they work better if you pour the champagne / cider / wine as soon as the last guest has their main course served. Normally the wedding party is finished eating and can now do toasts. Everyone else can eat their meal while listening and easily raise glasses at the appropriate time. This has a couple of effects. Your guests start eating a few minutes earlier while you do not waste any time while everyone waits for toasts to be finished, thus completing dinner a few minutes earlier. Also, your toast beverage will be nice and cold. If you do your toast immediately most caterers will pour the drinks before the guests are seated and you end up having it sit 15-20 minutes until you get to toasts. Once again it is your event and you dictate when it happens, theses are just some ideas to think about.
