I will be hosting a dinner party at a local restaurant for a small group of Mexican clients/friends tomorrow evening. I need a simple toast in
Spanish of maybe 12 words or less that is generic in nature. I'm hoping that there is some sort of standard toast already on the books. I will be
thanking them for a job well done.

ditto Lili's post. And how was the party?
It was a smashing success, thank you.
I tried the toast out on a Mexican friend prior to the event. He recommended that I change "gozarles" to "desfrutarles" and "pesetas" to "pesos" to
make it more comprehensible. That seemed to work.
Years ago, someone toasted a group with this, "Amor, salud, pesetas y el tiempo para emplejarlos."
Is this a correct (grammer and respect) toast, as well?
