1.) Make an Impressive statement- Speak about both the good as well as the bad aspects of the old year in a positive manner and focus on the changes it has brought about.
2.) Keep Your Toast Speech Brief-The most irritating thing for onlookers in your New Year�s Eve party would be to wait for your toast speech to get over. Make s statement not lengthening more than a few minutes when raising a toast. Look for the reaction of the audience. If they appear uninterested and start handling their silverware then you have taken up too much time in giving out a toast speech. End it fast to let others revel in the celebrations quickly.
3.) Avoid getting too preachy- Prepare a toast statement that does not make others feel like you are lecturing them on the good and bad. Focus only on a few things rather than including too many things in your toast statement when bidding adieu to the old year and ushering in the new one by raising a toast.

New Year�s Eve is the time to spread happiness, and to cheer for the occasion, avoid saying something malignant about anyone or anything while raising a perfect toast for the New Year.
5.) Write down the speech and practice it- If you are going to raise a toast for the first time and get a little nervous about it then it is best to write down a few lines. Write a brief toast speech, including a short introductory line, suggestion for a positive change in the New Year and then a short closing line that ends on a positive note.
6.) Acknowledge the people present to raise the toast - The perfect way of raising a New Year�s toast is to pay compliment and acknowledge the people present in your New Year�s Eve party. You can take the names if there are few people attending the party or you can end by saying �here�s to all of you� if there are too many people around.
7.) Try drinking too much before raising a toast- Chances of giving that perfect New Year�s toast might get ruined if you get heavily drunk and are unable to even stand to raise the glasses for a toast.
