Being asked to be the Wedding MC can be a nerve-wracking experience for many men. Responsible for making sure the reception timetable is adhered to, the wedding MC is also expected to be funny, although he doesn’t give a speech unless he is also best man - the role was traditionally performed by the best man, but these days is often a separate function. However, the wedding MC is required to speak in public when introducing the speakers and making other announcements.

How to Prepare Your Wedding MC Jokes

The good news about weddings is that people will tend to laugh at anything that is even remotely funny and so your wedding MC jokes don’t need to be the best you’ve ever heard. However, delivery and timing certainly help, so you should prepare your jokes in advance and practice speaking them aloud.

A warm, friendly manner will go down well and make people more predisposed to like what you say. Don’t try and be the center of attention, and make sure the jokes you use are appropriate for everyone invited to the wedding. The guests are likely to comprise of all age ranges from toddlers to the elderly and so don’t say anything that might offend!

If you’re not a natural comedian - and lets face it, not many of us are - then you may be short of jokes. Most people can only remember a few, so it can really be helpful to invest a few dollars in a Wedding MC Jokebook. While some of the jokes may have been used before, they are tried and tested and you’ll also get tips of delivery from professional comedians and your performance can really benefit.

Example Jokes
The jokes below are just a selection from the Wedding MC Jokebook, but may give you some ideas to get started.

Example 1
Why are husbands like lawnmowers? They’re hard to get started, they emit foul odors, and don’t work half the time.

Example 2
A young couple was called to heaven before they could be married. The disappointed groom asked St. Peter if it would still be possible for them to get married.

“I’m afraid you’ll have to wait,” St. Peter replied. If you still want to get married we will talk about it.”

Five years passed and the couple came back. They asked to be married again. St. Peter said, “Sorry, you’ll have to wait five more years.”

They waited another five years and St. Peter said they could be married. The wedding was beautiful and at first the couple was happy, but then they realized they made a mistake. They now asked St. Peter if they could get a divorce.

“What?” St . Peter asked. “It took us 10 years to find a minister in heaven, and now you want a lawyer?”

Example 3
After a young couple brought their new baby home, the wife suggested her husband should try his hand changing diapers.

“I’m busy” he said, “I’ll do the next one.”

The next time came around and she asked again. The husband looked puzzled.

“Oh, I didn’t mean the next diaper. I meant the next baby!”

Practicing your Wedding MC Jokes

Once you’ve prepared your jokes, you should make a note of them - just enough to remind you of what they are. Also start to plan when during the day you are going to say them. Only use one at a time, otherwise people will start to think you’re stealing some of the limelight from the bride and groom.

Since you need to announce what happens when, you should consult the bride and groom to find out what their plans are. Write this all down with approximate timings so that on the big day you don’t have to do it all from memory - a sure-fire road to disaster.

Once you have a list of what you need to do and when, and notes on the jokes you should start to think about what you’ll say during the announcements. In addition to your wedding MC jokes you need to pass of information too!

Practice what you’ve planned until you are comfortable with it. Once you start on the wedding day, you’ll tart to enjoy the role and relax. And once people laugh at your comments then you’ll be able to really enjoy yourself.

Wedding ring should be something which can keep your sweet memories always alive in your mind. Therefore you can not go simply to a jewelry shop and order a ring for your wedding. You would better know all the details of a wedding ring that you want to buy before buying one. As for example if you want to buy a diamond ring there are lots of things you do not know and before buying the ring you have to know. If you do not your ring may face some unwanted things as you ca not be a loser buying a ring for your wedding. So remember one thing at first settle your mind that what type is yours whether it is a diamond ring or it is a gold ring or it is a platinum ring and then try to know some basic things of that such as how can you understand the proper weight, how can you understand if the diamond is pure or not, is there any guarantee etc. All the information you can have from internet easily. It is only for your safety and as a customer you should have your thing 100%.

Here we will look at some metals what are used in making a wedding ring commonly. Before some years the list was really very tiny but now with the help of technology you can have various types of metals for making your special ring. They are gold, platinum, titanium, tungsten, with precious stone embellishments.  

Gold, as a metal is a lovely yellow color. Gold is favorable because it is looking good when it is worn and giving the right shape to it is easy and it is also durable.  Pure gold is also very malleable at 24 carats so it is easy to design and shape. However, the best thing about the gold wedding ring is that it is available in different shades, designs and goes well with other metals too.

Now you may not be sure about the factor that which type of gold ring would be perfect for the design you choose. Sometimes it is good to choose a type that is not 24 carat because every design is not suitable for 24c gold.  This is because a higher carat that this would make the ring prone to twisting and going out of shape. So ensure that you select a wedding band that is either 14 c or 18 c. Also, the more the proportion of gold the more expensive the wedding rings will be. So, to have a long-lasting wedding ring that suits your budget, select the appropriate carat value. Budget is another important thing that can attract you towards choosing a golden ring comparing platinum or tungsten ring.

Another factor of gold is that it is very easy to wear. There can be some allergic problems but vast number of people uses this without any problem. You can resize this material easily and can give any shape. While buying please ensure that the weight is correct and gold is pure.

Wedding invitations are affected by general trends, and there is no reason to think that 2009 will be any different. Some of the trends of 2009 are continuations of the popular ideas of 2008, while other trends are just beginning to gain popularity. When designing your wedding invitations, choose what you like best, and leave behind what you do not. It is important that you design an invitation that reflects the style of you and your future spouse. While you may undoubtedly want to be aware of what is popular and what is not when making your choices, there is no reason to choose something because of its popularity. Instead, use these ideas as starting points when designing your dream wedding invitation.

Continue to save the date

Save the date cards continue to be a popular addition to the wedding invitations package.

These cards especially come in handy if you are planning a wedding in June, September or around the holidays, since they are traditionally busy times of the year. A save the date card should be sent out as early as possible. This allows your guests to avoid making plans for that day. Many invitations come with a specific save the date card that coordinates when the celebration will take place. Choosing coordinated save the date cards and invitations means making a decision early on about which design you are going to use. It also adds a nice level of customizations to your invitations.

Color, color, color

Whether bold or subtle, color is a big part of wedding invitations in 2009. Modern printing techniques make it easier than ever to add color from the writing on the envelope lining to the card stock. Colors that were once used primarily for contemporary invitations, has become so widespread that even the most traditional wedding invitations currently use these colors.

Extending a Theme

Does your wedding have a theme? Whether you are having an outdoor wedding, a candlelight service or a wedding on the beach, you can customize your invitations to include some mention of the theme. Confetti in your envelopes or a simple candle drawing on the front of the invitations is an easy way to integrate your theme into your wedding invitations.

Do it yourself invitations

Many people have become taken with the idea of do it yourself invitations. Do it yourself invitations allow you to save some money when planning your wedding, but they also allow you greater control over your finished product. Do it yourself invitations are a great way to create a 100% customized look for your invitations while still keeping control of your budget.

Destination invitations

More and more, couples are choosing destination weddings as a low stress way to have a memorable wedding ceremony. If you are planning a destination wedding, choosing an invitation that is made specifically for the occasion is a great way to provide your guests with a memento of the event as well as being certain that all the invitation provides all of the information they will need to plan their trip.

Adding a photograph

Adding a photograph to your wedding invitations is another choice that may be popular in 2009. As stated before, technology has made this an easy option. Adding a photograph of the happy couple is a wonderful way to personalize your invitations without adding a great deal to the cost of the invitations.

Couples invitations

More and more, men are becoming involved in the planning of the wedding. In the past, weddings were typically planned by the bride, her mother and her friends. Today, it is common for the groom to have an interest and opinion on all parts of the ceremony. Couples invitations are a way to display this relationship, and will become more popular in 2009.

Adding a favor

A small favor added to your invitation is becoming a more popular option. If you are having a theme or destination wedding, including a favor is a great way to add some needed information. For the theme wedding, a small candle for a candlelight service is a thoughtful touch. For a beach vacation, a small tote bag with information from the area chamber of commerce is a thoughtful choice. While adding favors to the wedding invitations is a thoughtful touch, and becoming more popular, the cost can add up quickly. Adding favors to invitations typically works best if you are planning a small ceremony, and expect most of your invitees to attend.

Personalize your wedding stationery

Personalization is another area that has been improved greatly by technology. New methods of printing have made many more options available than ever before. This means that the engaged couple can add ribbons, pictures and trinkets, not to mention colored fonts, customized edgings and many other options to stock invitations. This allows standard invitations to look completely personalized.

Colors as neutrals

While adding color as a bold statement has become increasingly popular, color as a neutral is becoming more common as well. This means that a traditional invitation may be pastel pink rather than ivory, or mint green rather than white. Using colors as neutrals continues to grow in popularity as more people become accustomed to seeing colors as part of the wedding invitations.

We want a wedding just for two, simple, eloping type

I did that. I made travel plans for vegas on travelocity for the hotel. The courthouse in vegas is open late the certificate is 30$ and then the closest ceremony is through the court down the street 50$. You need to have the ceremony before your considered legally married.

This is what I am looking for and if anyone can help with any information. A place that has a deck or area that is handicap accessible for a wheel chair. It can be a bar or restaurant or a pier/deck. It’s the two of us and a few family members that will attend. No brides maid, no frills and lace ect. If you know of a place or someone that is able to marry us and sign the papers please email me with your rates that you charge.

You might go to www.eventective.com and post this there too (it’s free). The post will go to people who own restaurants, event venues, hotels, etc. I’m afraid I do not know the area, but best wishes to you on your search.

If you are including a postcard style RSVP card with your wedding invitation, should you also include a phone number on the bottom of the invitation, or is just an RSVP date enough?

Also how long before the wedding should you set the RSVP date?

A phone number would be helpful, perhaps even an email address - especially because we tend to forget to mail in rsvp cards - don’t know why, but we do! Are you also enclosing postage-paid pre-addressed envelopes?

When is your final headcount due to the caterer? I"d say 2 weeks before then so you will have time to call the people that do not remember to to mail in their rsvp cards.

I have a report due and I would really like to get input from someone who witnessed a Irish wedding or who knows a lot about them or who has even had one themselves.

I’ve been to lots. They’re the same as weddings everywhere else. The ceremony is in a church, hotel or registry office, usually starting sometime between 12 and 2pm, and can take anything from 1.5 hours (if the bride decides to hold everyone up by arriving late) to 20 minutes. Then there’s a drinks reception at a hotel at about 4pm, where people drink champagne or go to the bar. Everyone goes to dinner at about 6, then a band plays for a few hours, then a DJ til about 2am. You’ve got the usual dress, cake, flowers, music etc. I’d like to see a wedding just once that doesn’t follow this formula.

I’m doing research for a course and I need to know where I find the perfect information on this. Please give me some links or forums,but I don’t want to have to pay to research it. Thanks.

You will never find "perfect" information, but here is a start

http://www.mpiweb.org/Archive/227/60.aspx

You could try dropping an e-mail to the MPI to see if t hey can share additional info with you.

You will have to think about your wedding theme once you have decided to get married. In fact, this is not the only issue you have to consider. Yet it will be beneficial if you can make decision on your theme earlier. This is because you will need the theme to guide your wedding planning. It will be a lot easier for you to plan for your big day if you can have a theme.

You may wonder how you should choose the wedding theme. If you try to search for it on the internet, you will probably be able to find lots of information. And there are a lot of choices you may consider.

In fact, you can first of all consider your own preference. Are you someone who love being in outdoor spaces? If your answer a YES, you can consider choosing an outdoor wedding. You can host your wedding on a beach, in a park and so on. You have to always remember that you should be able to enjoy your event. This is why you should try to make the decision based on your preference and interest.

You will also need to consider whether you would like to go for a formal or an informal wedding theme. The style of your event is very important. Of course you can also make the decision based on your preference. You may not want to go for an informal event if you are the kind of person who loves formal events.

In fact, the choice between a formal and an informal event will affect your wedding planning a lot. If you are going to have a formal wedding theme, you will be going to make everything more formal. On the contrary, you may want to make your wedding items informal if you choose to have an informal event. This is why you have decided on this in advance.

You may also consider the preference of your parents when you are making the decision. This is because they may also want to invite some guests and they may have their own considerations when they are inviting these guests. Yet, it is very important for you to remember that it is your wedding and you will be making the final decision. Of course you have to consider the opinions of your parents but you are not dictated by their opinions.

Your wedding theme may also be affected by your wedding date. For example, you will not be able to have a summer beach wedding if you are going to have it in winter. As a result, you will need to consider your theme with the wedding date together. On the contrary, if the date of your event is fixed, you may need to think about how your theme can fit into it!

The considerations may also be different if you are going to have a destination wedding. If you are going to have your event in places like Bali, you will usually go for a summer beach wedding. In this case you will also need to think about your theme together with the location and destination of your wedding.
