subject: Making Sure You're a Successful MC On The Wedding Day [print this page] Being chosen as a Master of Ceremonies for a wedding can be terrifying. While you might be thinking that the list of things you'll be required to do is long, you may also have no idea of what exactly is expected (except for having to stand up and speak in front of everyone. And what most people fear above all else is public speaking.
But, it really isn't as scary as you might be thinking. By using the guidelines below you may just find that doing the job is easy and actually enjoyable!
First thing you should understand is that the job of the MC is to keep things going smoothly. The main part of this is to instruct guests and keep them in know about what happens on the schedule.
Keep in mind the bride and groom are the stars of the show and don't try to overshadow them. Meet with them and go over the sequence of events so you stay on track. As an example, you will want to know what order the receiving line is at the door so that everyone is in their appropriate place.
Weddings are social gatherings so make sure you always keep that in mind too. You won't be judged by many - since they know how nerve racking it is, so don't worry about nerves. Most people won't even notice your nerves even though you may think otherwise.
Know the names of key people and how to say them correctly. Write them down, with reminders if necessary.
Don't try to be funny all the time, it rarely works. If you don't have a natural gift form making others laugh, you may want to avoid jokes altogether. Prepare your jokes and tell them to other prior to the wedding!
And lastly, tip #7 enjoy yourself. The wedding guests are on your side and they want you to succeed. Your goal is to make sure the couple has a memorable wedding, do that and you've succeeded.
