Who/What are we toasting…or roasting?
First off, a roast and toast is a themed party where you honor the special guest by telling humorous stories, jokes and toasting to that special person. It’s a good time to be had by all.
This can be for anything and anyone. A birthday surprise, retirement party, engagement party, housewarming party; whatever goes! A 50th birthday party or retirement would be perfect to roast their past and to toast their future. Also, an engagement party would be a perfect time to throw this theme out there, roasting and toasting the couple will provide good times and good laughs for all. Groomsmen will love to roast the groom, while bridesmaids will take the sentimental route, hopefully. Whoever and for whatever reason, it’ll provide a festive time for the guests and the special guest of honor by providing laughs to be had by all.
RSVP, Please.
Themed, personalized invitations are a fun way to let your guests know that it’s a roast n’ toast theme. There are tons of fun ways to personalize invitations.

Party food is such a fun detail that you can play up to set any theme, but for this theme think campout goodies. Burgers, BBQ, potato salad or letting a local caterer cater to your needs are simple enough. The main attraction will be the yummy s’mores bar and hot chocolate bar. This will definitely warm you up from the cool night air. Have s’more pops already to go for your guests, which are chocolate covered marshmallows rolled around in graham crackers; how cute! Lay marshmallows out on sticks so guests can roast them over the campfire. Let them make s’mores the old fashioned way or add special condiments, like melted chocolate, crushed graham crackers, berry toppings, cinnamon and coconut. Melt in your mouth goodness! Play up the hot chocolate bar with shaved chocolate, marshmallows, whipped cream and sprinkles. Mmm! Your guests will be toasting to your great hostess skills too! Another special detail is the cake.
