2019.07.01 published

Meetings are important, aren’t they?＊

During the wedding preparation period, there are several opportunities to visit the venue directly and meet with the assigned planner＊

☑ Ceremony and reception flow

☑ Details of performances and entertainment

☑ Deciding on invited guests

☑ Venue decoration

☑ Deciding on food and favors

There are so many things to decide in the meetings! Each and every one is a very important time＊

It's all a new experience and it's tough, but it's still fun ♡

I’m sure many brides feel the same way, don’t you think?

Have you finished the meeting with the MC?

By the way, have you finished the meeting with the MC who will be in charge of the reception?

It varies by venue, but generally, the meeting with the MC is held about 1 month to 2 weeks before the ceremony, lasting approximately 1 to 2 hours.

Of course, by that time, the schedule for the reception is almost entirely decided＊

So, what exactly will be discussed in the meeting?

The MC meeting is a time for information gathering＊

The MC has an important role beyond just smoothly progressing the reception on time.

That is to create an uplifting atmosphere so that the bride and groom, along with the guests, can enjoy an emotional time together＊

For example, if you surprise your siblings during the outfit change, having the MC share memorable stories about them will surely make it a deeper and more unforgettable memory for both you and your guests＊

In that sense, the meeting with the MC is a vital time for sharing information♡

In this article, I will introduce two tips to efficiently conduct the meeting with the MC＊

Tip 1: Prepare as many episodes as possible

Before the MC meeting, fill out a self-introduction sheet called a profile sheet＊

The items include date of birth, hometown, family structure, educational background, work history, childhood stories, how you met, first impressions, and what kind of family you want to build, among others.

Since these topics will surely be asked about, try to convey your feelings to the MC in as much detail as possible♩

Also, during the reception, there are often situations where specific guests are asked to participate＊

Examples include toasts, speeches from friends, thank-you bites, escort roles during intermissions, entertainment, and the final presentation scene to the parents, etc.

It's recommended to pick up memories with those guests in advance♡

Tip 2: List what you don't want to talk about

Another tip is to clearly communicate topics that you do not want to be talked about or introduced in front of everyone＊

Regarding educational background, how you met, work history, etc., there might be things that some people do not want to discuss...!

By communicating these topics openly, the MC will be able to adjust how they present them or omit them appropriately.

Looking forward to the meeting with the MC ♡

How was it? The meeting with the MC just before the wedding＊

In this meeting, you can share episodes and feelings towards the wedding candidly, making it a fun time for the bride and groom without a doubt!

If you're planning a surprise for the groom, it's also okay to consult at a strategic moment♡

I hope that your meeting with the MC goes smoothly and leads to a wonderful reception♩
