If the mother of the groom would like to give a toast, by all means let her. It will mean alot to both the bride and the groom.

It would be lovely for the mother of the groom to give a toast at the rehearsal dinner

If you wants to give a toast, she should. We had lots of toasts at my wedding, including the mother of the groom. I emptied my champagne glass with all the toasts.

If she wants to, absolutely. I don't know where the idea that only the best man is allowed to give toasts comes from. I'm sure the couple would be very touched that you want to honor them with a loving toast.

If that is the only parent left, I don't see why not. Unless there is a close uncle or grandfather or someone who was like a father to the groom.

Absolutely. The party is to celebrate the love of the newlyweds, and any input that adds to the joy should be most welcome.
The mother of the groom will be thrilled to be asked to give a toast.

I would have to say no.....
Usually the best man and sometimes the maid of honor gives a toast.

If you're having trouble maybe ask the best man, if you don't have one then ask the grooms mother. It would probably mean alot to her, or maybe not (Monster-in-law!!!!!!!)

My mother in law gave a toast at my wedding, it was beautiful. If she wants to talk at her son's wedding, let her.
