Do you have a list of who is supposed to do toasts at the reception, and what order they should go in? I am at a loss as far as this goes!
Traditionally, the best man makes the first reception toast to the bride and groom (after everyone has been poured a glass of champagne or other sparkling drink.) The groom rises, thanks the best man and then toasts his bride and both sets of parents. The maid of honor also toasts the couple. The bride can then make a toast, followed by parents, relatives, wedding party members and friends. This becomes pretty much open season after the first few toasts.
Toasts should be less than three minutes each, short and sincere. The person giving the toast should stand and the person(s) being toasted remain seated and do not raise their glass and drink to him/herself. Toast the person/people by name and mention your relationship to them. Don't be lewd, suggestive or rude.
