You may encounter some resistance from the organizer who may be wondering why you need a program when it's just a small matter of friends and family turning up to eat, drink and make merry. Ask lots of questions like the following: How many guests have been invited? What's the entertainment (Band? DJ? Comedian?) Is there a dress code? (All white?) How long is the event expected to last? Answers to these and other questions will give you a flavor of what is being planned. That could mean a telephone conversation, WhatsApp or email exchanges, or a face-to-face encounter.Ģ. Remember, you're there to do an excellent job.
Take a party as seriously as you would a conference. When you are engaged to be the Master of Ceremonies for such an occasion, you may be tempted to under-prepare. What's private, intimate and restricted to relatives and friends?
