Wedding program speeches

MC introduces the Best Man or they can simply get up and speak. MC introduces the Father or Mother of the Bride or they can simply get up and speak. The Father or Mother of the Groom's speech they can welcome and toast the traditional guest of honour and their new daughter-in-law, the Bride. MC introduces the Best Man or whoever will read out any messages. The MC closes the speeches by thanking everyone, and announces when the cutting of the cake will be made.

Short And Sweet If there are just a few speakers: The Host welcomes and toasts the bride and groom traditionally the host was the Father of the Bride as it was the Brides family who paid for the wedding The Groom reponds and toasts the bridesmaids The Best Man responds on behalf of the bridal party and reads any messages. Breaking Tradition If your mother, bridesmaid or someone outside of the traditional wedding speakers are renowned entertaining speakers then nothing should stop you from asking them to speak.

Here is a suggested order of speeches that breaks with Tradition: The Best Man, MC or host welcomes everyone and introductes the bridal party then the bride and groom - if you hate making grand entrances - omit this! The Best Man or Maid of Honour opens with their speech and makes a toast to the bride and groom. Next, the groom, bride, or the two together may toast each other, and then raise a glass to their bridal party and guests to thank them for sharing their special day.

The parents of either the bride or groom or both respond. The Closer usually give thanks to the speech makers, sums up with a few sentinment words about the couple. The closer could be the groom, the bride and groom, the best man, the MC or back to the person who opened the speeches.

We recommend to end the speeches on a high note and give the close to someone who you know will make a great speech. TIPS Decide on the order of the toasts well before the wedding, write it down and send it out in advance to all the speech makers, the MC and the event manager at the venue as they may have recommendations or requirements as to the timing of food service.

Don't force anyone to give a speech. If the best man is very uncomfortable speaking before a large audience, you are better off asking the maid of honor or the grooms brother to step in for him. The MC can usher the speakers to the microphone if the speeches are staggered throughout the reception and discreetly signaling them if the speech goes on too long.

Allow a set amount of time for all the speeches to be completed. If many people are making speeches then shorten the length of each speech and if you know someone will make a particularly entertaining speech, leave their speech until last Hiring a professional MC to run the proceedings can be a safe way to keep the night on schedule, find an MC here. Modern wedding vows, for inspiration and for love.

More Wedding Venues. Some things look good in a script but sound stiff and stilted when spoken. A guide is just there to ensure nothing is overlooked or left to chance. It is recommended the reception program and script is prepared weeks in advance so the Emcee can familiarize himself with the flow of events. There are basic instructions to give a broader view on how to present each part. Now you have some of the basics.

Before you can develop your emcee sample script, you will need your order of wedding reception timeline.

This is the framework around which you will craft your master of ceremonies wedding reception script. Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank you for this place in which we dwell, for the love that unites us, for the peace accorded us this day, for the hope with which we expect the morrow, for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth.

Please be on your feet as we welcome the bridal party. Put your hands together for our hosts, the mother and father of the bride. A tremendous grip on the woman as well! Greater love hath no man, they say. He also assures us, he really is the best man. They are the understudies for the Bride and Groom. Gentlemen, Emmeline is single and taking a break from her career as a ballerina to concentrate on bringing home a gold medal at the next Olympics for gymnastics. Hope you catch the bouquet Daniela.

Michael, or Junior as big brother Derek calls him, is seventeen. His interests are rap music and wrestling. Imagine a cross between Salvador Dali and Edward Scissorhands. Nice job, by the way. A big hand for our second Groomsman! As for the groom, look at him!

Ladies and Gentleman, a big hand for Winona and Derek! Could we have your attention for a moment for the cutting of the cake. Friends please be up and standing for the cutting of the cake. Derek make sure you have a firm hand on the cake with your beloved bride. As you all know, it is customary for the best man to reveal rare insights into the make-up of the groom, to share with us, the inklings and foibles that make our beloved groom Derek, the man he is.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the best man! The Bridal Waltz. This is the moment when the groom walks his bride to the dance floor and they begin a dance that will last the rest of their lives. Put your hands together for Winona and Derek as they begin their special waltz as husband and wife. As you know, traditionally the young lady who successfully catches the bouquet in mid-flight is a certainty to make her own way down the aisle. This is for single women only. Our lovely and charming bride Winona has been practising this throw all summer, so give yourselves some elbow room.

Fortune favors the brave! At the count of three, the bride will throw her bouquet. Are you ready Ladies? Would you just look at the concentration. The countdown! One, Two, Three! What a throw, ladies and gentlemen.

I understand some of the guys jumping for the garter have been in training for months. These guys are ripped and ready to rumble! Remember gentlemen this is serious business. The guy who catches the garter is destined for the altar next! We have another winner! We have the next groom. Emcee 1: Next in line we have the Sponsors who clothed the bride and the groom as one during the Veil Ceremony!

Emcee 2 : Then, we have the Sponsors who entwined the groom and the bride with the cord of love during the Cord Ceremony! Emcee 1 : Next we have the Groomsman and the Bridesmaid! Emcee 2 : The flower girls who showered the wedding aisle with flowers!

Beforehand, assign usherettes to assist the Sponsors to their seats Emcee 2 : This time I would like to request Mr. Emcee 1 : But before you will have your first dance, let us first be the living witnesses of how deeply and madly in love you are with each other through your passionate kiss for 20 seconds.
