Is there a subtle, polite way to skip toasts?

Anyone have any suggestions for avoiding toasts at the reception and the post-wedding brunch?  Fiance and I would like to do thank-you toasts, but would prefer to avoid the best man/maid-of-honor/parental speeches.  We're having a small wedding so I don't think it would be a breach of formal etiquette to skip that part?  I was thinking of just asking our DJ/announcer to not mention toasts, but is that enough?  And how do we avoid our parents giving mimosa-induced toasts at brunch the next day?  I realize it's silly and shouldn't be a big deal, but we're uncomfortable with it.  Thanks for reading this!
