Stay Alert! How to Conduct Yourself While the Host Introduces Your Profile
2017.12.29 published
A "Profile Introduction" that allows guests to get to know you and each other
At the beginning of the reception, the MC will likely give a "Profile Introduction."
The Profile Introduction is a time for guests who have gathered to learn more about you and your partner.
While it's okay to skip this if you're feeling embarrassed about introducing your profile to the guests, it's a great opportunity to formally introduce your partner, so it's recommended to include it.
You are being watched during the profile introduction!
During the profile introduction, the bride and groom usually stand and listen, and since this occurs between the entrance and the toast, the guests typically haven't started their meals yet, which means all eyes are on the couple.
However, during this time, the bride and groom are just standing and listening to the MC, and they are not speaking or participating in any performances.
Therefore,
"I felt tense and my face was stiff…"
"I was told I looked scary with a serious face during the profile introduction…"
"When I saw the photos, I realized I looked bored…"
Many brides regret these moments.
Three things to be mindful of during the profile introduction!
It’s easy to end up with a serious face during the profile introduction if you’re not conscious about it. Moreover, if your posture is bad, that’s even worse!
So, here are three points to be aware of during the profile introduction.
Point 1: Correct your posture
First and foremost, it's important to correct your posture and look straight ahead during the profile introduction!
Looking down or slouching can create a dark impression.
Try to scan the faces of each guest while keeping your mouth corners slightly raised.
Point 2: It's okay to smile
During the profile introduction, everyone tends to focus intently on the MC’s words, leading to a silent atmosphere.
However, if the MC shares some nostalgic or funny anecdotes, it’s definitely okay to laugh!
When the bride and groom laugh, it lightens the mood, and guests will feel warm and at ease.
Point 3: Make eye contact with your partner
Additionally, during the profile introduction, it's recommended to make eye contact with your partner.
With everyone’s attention on you, your partner might also be feeling nervous.
By subtly turning to look at him and making eye contact, you can ease each other's tension, which will likely help relax the guests as well.
Let's create a harmonious profile introduction!
I’ve shared three points to keep in mind during the MC-led profile introduction.
Guests will be focused on you, which can be daunting.
You may find yourself looking down or tensing up, but try to stay relaxed and keep a smile on your face.
May the time for your profile introduction be a wonderful one!
