Wedding MC Speech Guide. <br />************************************************************************************** <p>You've been asked to be the <strong>Wedding MC</strong>.<br /> <br /> It's an honor to be chosen but it comes with a huge responsibility to ensure the wedding reception runs smoothly.<br /> <br /> In addition to your usual wedding emcee duties, the bride and groom might ask you to give a <strong>wedding emcee speech</strong>.<br /> <br /> Or you might be both the Wedding MC and Best Man and combine your Wedding MC Speech and Best Man Speech into one speech. <br /> <br /> Here are 9 tips to get you started:<br /> <br /> 1. Gather Background Information Early <br /> <br /> Do research on the bride and groom's lives. Ask friends and family for fond memories or humorous situations that you can weave into your wedding speech. Keep in mind that people will get busier with planning the wedding as the wedding day draws nearer so start gathering your material early. <br /> <br /> 2. Rehearse Your Wedding MC Speech <br /> <br /> Practicing your presentation will help you fine tune it so it flows smoothly. Practice with a friend or record your speech and look for areas that need improvement.<br /> <br /> 3. Keep Your Speech Short <br /> <br /> Five minutes is a good length to aim for. Anything much longer than that and the wedding guests will get bored. <br /> <br /> 4. Use Appropriate Humor And Jokes <br /> <br />There's nothing more embarrassing than having someone make inappropriate wedding jokes during their speech. Be sure that the wedding jokes in your speech are clean as well as funny. <br /> <br /> 5. Keep Your Toast Short But Meaningful <br /> <br /> Your toast doesn't have to drag out . So keep it short, touching, and memorable.<br /><br /> 6. Get To Know The Bride and Groom <br /> <br />The key thing to remember about giving a Wedding MC Speech is that you have to know something about both the bride and groom. It seems obvious, doesn't it? But many people ask, "What do I do when I don't know the groom (or the bride) very well? <br /> <br />You'll want to know such things as:</p><p> 1. Was there something unusual or humorous about how they met? </p><p>2. Do they have favorite movies, movie stars, TV shows, comedians, personalities, books, stories, music you can talk about? </p><p>3. What do people admire most about the bride or groom?<br /><br />So be sure to do your research by asking the newlyweds questions or asking their close friends and family questions. <br /><br />And keep in mind that while your speech might be directed to the bride, for example, be sure to include the groom as well. <br /> <br /> 7. Don't Try To "Wing" It <br /> <br /> If you've ever been to a reception you'll know the speeches that haven't been prepared beforehand. Usually they're boring and long-winded. And you end up wishing the speech was over. The time to prepare your Wedding MC Speech isn't when you're in front of a crowd of strangers. Every wedding speech should be carefully researched, written out, and practiced well before you ever step foot in the reception room. <br /> <br /> 8 . Know How To Use The Microphone <br /> <br /> There's nothing worse than having squealing "feedback" from a microphone. Make sure you're familiar with the microphone before using it. <br /> <br />9. Be Prepared <br /> <br /> Check the lighting so you know you'll be able to read your notes. Make sure you have your reading glasses if you wear them. Know when and where you'll be giving your speech. <br /><br />The <strong>wedding emcee speech</strong> is an important part of the wedding reception so be sure to take time to prepare a presentation that will be appreciated by the bride and groom and will honor them on their special day.<br /> <br /> The <b>Wedding MC's Wedding Speech Guide</b> is filled with tips and advice for writing and presenting a wedding emcee speech at the wedding reception.<br /> <br /> It includes...<br /> <br /> ==> 4 distinctive qualities you have that you can draw upon to make your speech even more powerful.
