Kind of a timely thread..........I'm going to be emceeing(?) a wedding in 2 weeks.
I'm lucky though...........the bride and groom are both very organized. They pretty much gave me a detailed schedule for the night and told me they want the reception to be short and sweet. Makes it a lot easier for me. Plus it's fairly small, about 100 people, so it's not like I'll be standing up in the middle of a stadium.
The only thing I would say is not to steal the couple's thunder. Try not to be a stand-up comedian. Maybe throw in a couple short funny barbs or comments, but otherwise stick to the program.
If you want Jon, I can keep in touch with you after a few weeks, let you know how it went for me, and give you some helpful comments or advice. Let you know what went well, and what didn't, so you don't make the same mistakes.
