Wedding MC Jokes – top tips to make the day go smoothly

In some parts of the world it is common to include the role of Wedding MC, whose job is to introduce other speakers, make announcements and keep the wedding guests informed of what is going on at any particular time to help the wedding run smoothly.

If you’ve been chosen for this role you need to remember that part of your role will be to inject humor into the proceedings. Bear in mind that wedding guests will be of all age groups and backgrounds when selecting your wedding MC jokes as the aim is to amuse people without causing any offence.

The Wedding MC is a primary speaker at the wedding reception, commanding attention when appropriate and speaking briefly when required – the bride and groom are the centre of focus, not you!

Even if you feel you’re a natural born comedian – maybe that’s why you’ve been chosen to be the Master of Ceremony’s on this important day – make sure you have chosen a selection of good jokes with you on the day.

Remembering that practice makes perfect will help you deliver the jokes to your best ability as you’ll start to internalise the jokes rather than having to read them of a card, which can sound rather stilted.

It is common for the MC to have a microphone, so if you aren’t used to using one try and get a few minutes practice in before the event. If you don’t have a mike then you’ll need to make sure your voice carries to the back of the room so that everyone can clearly hear what you say.

If you’ve chosen the right jokes, have practised enough to feel confident then the day should go well. Wedding guests are always ready to laugh and once they’ve got a drink in their hand and relaxed you’ll have no problem at all on the big day.
