MC for reception

Thats a good idea. but you need someone to mc before they make their entrance. as long as theyre comfortable doing it why not!

I'm having my cousin do it. He's super close to me, one of my best friends, and I know that he's going to be the perfect amount of funny and down-to-earth.

If they are able to do the job confidently go for it. I am not going the route of a bridal party member but I am very fortunate to have a stand up comedian for a very good friend so it does make some one keeping the whole venue light and airy as well as breaking the ice.
In all it’s what you want. If you feel that is a good fit; then rock it!

I was a BM and MC for my besties wedding and I loved every second of it.

Lots of people do this. Definitely okay. try to avoid people who are already doing speeches or have larger roles during the day.

My mc is my Moh. She loves the idea

I was asked to be a BM and the MC. I understand why I was asked because as a BM you are a trusted friend and/or family member. However, it was a lot of work for me. I didn’t mind doing it because it was for one of my best friends but I wasn’t able to enjoy my meal, speeches or much of that part of it because you are constantly getting up to introduce people, share witty stories etc. if you do decide to do it, having 2 people as an MC worked out better. Sometimes it would be me and my co MC or it would be one of us separately. It was fun but it was a lot of work! Of course it is an honor to help at a wedding but just keep in mind how much work it is (if you decide to have a lot more on your program)!

I thought about asking someone in the party but then FH told me that at MOH and BM's wedding, him and one of the bridesmaids were MCs and they hardly got to eat! Maybe we'll get our sisters or something (we agreed no siblings in the wedding party for various reasons). Or maybe we'll just go with what the DJ offers and leave it there (and maybe ask them to make the odd announcement regarding dinner or the first dance).

I would go for it! I would always choose someone who knows you better even if they are in the bridal party. Its special

We've asked one of our bridesmaids to be our MC and she was thrilled to be asked! She knows both of us well and is a great public speaker. We've specifically requested no Jack & Jill and I don't want a shower, so that lightens her load a bit ☺️

I think it's an awesome personal touch. We considered having my brother as the MC, but he lives in Spain and will only be here for a few days before the wedding, plus he's already a groomsman and we didn't want to overload him. Our DJ works with an MC and he has such an amazing personality that we hired them together. So really you can't go wrong either way 😊

One of our groomsmen is going to MC our wedding. I think it is fine to use someone from the wedding party.

We are not 100% sure as of yet. I'd like someone from the wedding party or a family member to Host/MC. But just Incase I discussed this with our DJ to cover this.

I think it’s a great idea! I’ve been to a wedding like that and it was awesome

We had one of our BM's and GM as our MC's! All of the outgoing people are our closest friends - and us, so we felt like unless we were going to have our DJ who doesn't know us just announce things... we would have to ask our wedding party. Worked out fine!

I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. Our DJ will also be our mc

My brother was our MC and he was also in the wedding party!
We had our DJ do all the formal introductions and our first dance because we did it immediately following the entrance. Once we all sat down the DJ introduced my brother as the MC and he did the rest from there!
It is completely do-able! I found it easier because the head table gets served dinner first. So we were able to eat and he was done eating before he called everyone up for speeches or dances and didn’t have to rush through his meal or worry about not eating

Recently I had attended my cousins wedding this past mid September and they had 2 MCs that were chosen from each side of the family. One from the grooms was his best friend, whom was one of the groomsmen too and a family member from the brides side married to her cousin.

This is something you may want to consider doing or asking the DJ to be the MC.

A good chunk of the weddings I've gone to, the MOH and Best Man have been co-MC. So I don't see a problem with asking someone from your wedding party

My friend had his brother who was in wedding party to mc the reception it worked out well. He also mc'ed for his cousins wedding while in the wedding party. Both times it worked out fine. I personally dont see anything wrong with it.
