When considering humour is better to use one liners rather than long winded jokes. One liners can be used to grab attention and keep the audience interested. It is of course important to keep any humour child friendly and whatever you do, don't upset the bride! A useful tip when making the best man speech is to use a subtle mix of sincerity and humour.

]]> Comment on What Information to Include on your Wedding Website by Laura Taylor http://www.theweddinglens.com/blog/what-information-to-include-on-your-wedding-website/comment-page-1/#comment-1768 Laura Taylor Tue, 21 Dec 2010 02:16:33 +0000 http://blog.theweddinglens.com/?p=1403#comment-1768 "A story of how you met and/or photos of you two! People love to read more about the couple." This is a great tip. I always thought that wedding websites are for organizational purposes but this would also as a great resource for the guests to know you and your better-half on your wedding day. Thanks for this. “A story of how you met and/or photos of you two! People love to read more about the couple.”

]]> Comment on Photobooth at the Wedding Reception by Eugene http://www.theweddinglens.com/blog/photobooth-at-the-wedding-reception/comment-page-1/#comment-1767 Eugene Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:02:09 +0000 http://theweddinglens.wordpress.com/?p=386#comment-1767 I've been to dozens of weddings as a photo booth operator and several as a guest where there was a photo booth presents. They are great fun for the guests, but the post above and the comments already mentioned that. So, I offer a few bits of advice. 1. Don't use tape, even double-sided. It takes forever when working with the scrapbook and causes a back-up near the area. 2. Using gel pens can cause bleeding to other images and other pages because the writing doesn't dry fast enough. 3. Be careful with sharpies, see #3. 4. Never have scissors. I'd recommend a safe paper cutter, one that glides down the print and doesn't accept "fingers". Have to assume kids will be using it. Happy weddings for all.
