Assuming mkst of the guests know the groomsmen you can always fill in dead time slots here and there with stories from the bachelor party. It will help all the guys who didn't get invited or couldn't make it feel like they were there.
Mkst importantly though, if you want to tell cute romantic stories about their past, realize this can be dangerous as they may have given different j formation to say, parents, siblings or roommates in order to break off plans that maybhabe been pretty serious in some cases.
This is easily avoided by only telling stories about their previous partners.
Good luck, MCis actually pretty fun
Deoending on how things were planned out, you may have to coordinate with a wedding planner (If they used one) and adhere to a pretty strict timeline. Can be fairly flexible with going over or under here and there, main concern is being ready when the kitchen is. If there's planner, ask for a copy of a timeline with the kitchen , DJ etc, discuss where your bits should go, and maybe have someone help you keep tabs on what's happening with the food so that you can shuffle some content around and not end up with a huge waiting period standing around feeling like you're on the spot. Which leads to a super important tip - talk to the bride and groom and establish a policy for how "open" the mic will be, if at all. Good luck if the foods late and cocktail hour turns to cocktail two hours on an empty stomach.. A loosened up pal could easily absolutely devastated a sensitive/nervous bride or groom who are already emotionally overwhelmed by the big day. If they only want specific people up, or family only, do they want memories shared or just short wishes and sensors, whatever, stick to that and find a way to deflect the drunk guy who could likely end up owing you one later on for that. .
Sleeping really lightly today and was woken up by something so hopefully that's not all ofer the place.
