"un toast en l'honneur de nos parents et amis"


Explanation:
>>>porter/proposer un toast en l'honneur de nos parents et amis!<<<

Usually, you toast in honor of someone or an event, so use "en l'honneur de" to reflect that tradition and the exlamation point for the joyful circumstance.

HTH ! :0)

P.S. You can also use the imperative form:

>>> Levons nos verres...!<<<
>>> Portons un toast...! (to drink a toast)
