⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought it for the Irish toasts, stayed for the savage comebacks and sweet life advice. It's like having your own witty Irish grandmother in your pocket.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wedding toast? Stolen straight from this book. Nailed it. Bride cried, groom laughed, everyone asked where I got it.

Whether you're celebrating love, dodging disaster, or navigating your third family dinner of the week, this book has the perfect Irish toast to say what you're really thinking (without getting disinvited).
Inside these pages, you'll find over 100 original toasts for every kind of gathering: Rooted in Irish wit but written for today's chaotic world, these toasts walk the perfect line between heartfelt and hilarious. They're as perfect for a wedding speech as they are for a whiskey-fueled girls' night or a last-minute Instagram caption.

Whether you're Irish by blood, belief, or just in it for the whiskey Blarney & Banter will make you the most beloved (or most feared) voice at the table.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book made me laugh, tear up, and immediately pour a drink. You don't have to be Irish to appreciate this gem-but it helps!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than a shot of Jameson and twice as smooth. These toasts are gold for any occasion or just a Tuesday.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's clever, cheeky, and oddly comforting. I use it for toasts, Instagram captions, and when I need a reminder that life is meant to be celebrated.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brought this to girls' night and now we've started reading a toast before every bottle of wine. It's officially tradition.

New Year's Toast, To Fresh Starts and Full Glasses
To calendars clean and champagne cold,
To stories waiting to be told.
May last year's mess stay far behind,
And this one treat you sweet and kind.
To midnight kisses and late-night cheer,
To shouting Woo! and spilling beer.
May you dance like no regrets exist,
And wake up only mildly pissed.
To resolutions bold and bright,
That last at least 'til Thursday night.
May gym shoes squeak and salads call,
But fries still answer, best of all.
To friends who text at 12:01,
And laugh until the New Year's done.
May they be near through thick and thin,
And always sneak more vodka in.
To luck that knocks and doesn't bail,
To backup plans that never fail.
May all your risks be richly paid,
In cash, in kind, or sweet charade.
To sparks that fly, to goals that stick,
To new ideas that finally click.
May failure fear you from afar,
And every stumble earn a star. To last year's ghosts that tried to stay,
We toast, then shoo them clean away.
You've got no time for doubt or dread,
Your glitter path lies just ahead.
To love that comes when least expected,
And hair that stays mostly protected.
May your selfies shine and filters lie,
And joy be real, not just the high.
To lessons learned and bridges burned,
To every page that's now turned.
May this year glow with earned delight,
And keep your name in fortune's sight.
So, here's to you, to dreams anew,
To sparkling wine and midnight woo.
May every month bring t
