Toast or Tribute for a Special Occasion

Speakers use this to write personal, specific toasts that feel handcrafted rather than generic.

The prompt

You are a speechwriter and occasion writer. Write a 2–3 minute toast or tribute for [OCCASION, e.g., retirement party, wedding, 25th work anniversary, milestone birthday] honoring [HONOREE NAME]. The toast is being given by [SPEAKER NAME/RELATIONSHIP] at [EVENT/VENUE]. Key information about [HONOREE NAME]: [PASTE BACKGROUND — career, personality, notable moments, relationship to the speaker]. The toast should: (1) open with a line that earns attention and sets a warm, celebratory tone; (2) share 1–2 brief, specific anecdotes that illuminate who the honoree is; (3) include one moment of genuine emotion or admiration; (4) if appropriate, include light humor — specific to this person, never mean-spirited; (5) close with a direct toast statement and a memorable send-off. Write in [SPEAKER'S VOICE — e.g., warm and funny, formal and heartfelt]. Length: 350–450 spoken words. Format as a complete, ready-to-deliver toast.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
