Master of Ceramonies

[Jenn060306]

I am wondering if anyone is having an MC or if you're having the DJ MC for you. If you are who is doing it and why?

I am really struggling to figure out who we should ask to do it. My FH's step-father has a great voice and personality for it but he did Mark's sisters wedding so i don't want to look like we are copying. And my friend Dan who would be great at it as well is in the Bridal Party so i don't know if that would be appropriate.
Thanks in Advance!

I had my brother MC our wedding! He did a really great job!! And really I don't see why you couldn't have your groomsman do it, that is if he is comfortable with that much responsibilty! Perhaps you could have your FH's step dad intro the bridal party and you and Mark and then the GM could take over from there!?? Its all up to you really my Dear!

And why would anyone think you are copying them if you choose your FH's dad?? Its all up to you!!

I don't think anyone would think you were copying. My idea is that you found an idea you liked at another wedding and you went with it. There's nothing wrong with sharing ideas!

Well, we are having a Master of Ceremonies for the ceremony and then an Emcee for the reception. My brother will be our Emcee (as I thought he might be a little too emotional for the ceremony) and my MoH's FH is my Master of Ceremonies. He's going to be in charge of setting up the chairs and the two tables we will need outside (everyone keep your fingers crossed that he will actually have to do this) and then he will be the one who will take the guys behind the lodge while the girls walk over and the one we notify when the girls are already--i.e. I'm hidden behind my screen (we're going to use our cell phones). He will also be the person who changes the cd and pushes play/pause, so on and so forth!

My brother is going to be the person who announces us at the reception, announces when certain things are going to happen, takes care of the music for the most part (he's mentioned hooking up his IPod so we don't have to make cds, I just have to make sure he has music on there that we want) and he's also going to start the toasts (instead of my dad or mama because mama knew she really wouldn't be able to do it).

I wanted to make sure my brother was involved, but I didn't want him in a position where if he was emotional due to the day, it would cause problems. So I thought this was a good compromise.

Mark and i talked a little about who we would ask this weekend. Tosssed arround a couple ideas. But we keep coming back to Mark's step dad. I think we are going to ask him. Our DJ will do it if we don't have anyone. But i really want someone we know because i feel like it would be so much more personal. And it's important to me that it is someone who knows us both really well. I can just imagine the stories they might have to tell and i just feel like that's more what i want then someone saying that the best man will now make a speech.
