Editorial Policy

How iDoCheers creates content you can trust at the microphone.

This policy explains how iDoCheers researches, writes, reviews, and maintains everything we publish. If you ever believe something on this site falls short of these standards, tell us — our Contact page is the fastest route.

1. What we cover

iDoCheers publishes wedding toast and speech inspiration: role-based prompt libraries (best man, maid of honor, parents, couple), speech frameworks, and etiquette guides for American weddings. We do not publish vendor rankings, paid placements, or sponsored “inspiration.”

2. How we research

Every guide is built from primary experience and credible sources: real ceremonies and reception footage, input from professional speechwriters and officiants, widely accepted etiquette references, and reader feedback from people who have actually stood up to speak. Etiquette guidance reflects modern American norms; where customs vary by culture, faith, or region, we say so.

3. Writing standards

• Original, human-reviewed copy. Prompts and example lines are written and edited by our editorial team. We may use research and drafting tools, but a human editor reviews and approves every published word.
• Plain, warm American English. We write the way people actually speak at weddings — no filler, no purple prose.
• Usable, not generic. Every prompt must produce a speech that sounds like a real person, not a template.

4. Review and updates

Published pages are re-reviewed on a scheduled editorial cycle. When a page is meaningfully updated, we revise its “last verified” date, shown at the top of our guides. Outdated or superseded guidance is rewritten or removed.

5. Corrections

If we get something wrong — an etiquette point, a factual claim, a broken prompt — we correct it promptly and note material changes on the page. To request a correction, email hello@idocheers.com with the page URL and what you believe is wrong.

6. Editorial independence

Editorial decisions are made by our editorial team alone. Commercial relationships never influence what we recommend or how we write. Where a link could earn us a commission, that relationship is disclosed on the page and in our Affiliate Disclosure.
