What do you think? Should the wedding MC be the main entertainment at the wedding reception, or the "ringmaster" coordinating each step along the way? Whether you have been asked to be a wedding master of ceremonies or you are a wedding couple planning your wedding, you need to carefully understand the wedding MC's role. It is critical to the success of the wedding reception.

The traditional role as wedding master of ceremonies is to make sure everything happens as and when it should, and that the appropriate atmosphere of happy celebration for the wedding couple is maintained. The wedding MC must know when to take the lead as the "chairman" of proceedings, and when to step back to avoid dominating the event. A good knowledge of wedding etiquette is required, an understanding of the wishes of the couple getting married, and the ability to speak well and with good humor to set the mood and gain everyone's cooperation.

The traditional wedding MC, then, is closer to being the ringmaster than the main act for the reception. Usually the wedding MC is a volunteer, sometimes also the best man or the father of the bride, but most commonly a family member or friend with the appropriate personality and experience. To expect a volunteer to be the main entertainment will usually be asking too much, but you can mostly count on there being someone in the couple's circle of family and friends who can play the ringmaster's role successfully.

Most wedding MC volunteers will make a good effort to bring humor and fun to the introductions, thanks and toasts as the reception proceeds. Some wedding couples will be fortunate enough to have an outgoing and entertaining person they can call on to extend the wedding MC's role a step further, to add an element of performance and entertainment. For many weddings it is the best man's speech that generates the most hilarity. At many receptions there will be a specific entertainment included in the program, such as a singer, often a talented guest. The danger of having a wedding MC who dominates the reception with his personality as an entertainer is that he will detract from the contributions of the other less professional and outgoing participants. The wedding couple needs to be very clear with their chosen MC about the role they would like him to play.

An option is to hire a professional wedding MC. That is often an expensive option, and favored mostly for celebrity or society weddings. The ironical thing is that a professional MC is usually expected by the guests to provide an entertaining act, while professional MCs often see their role mainly from the traditional ringmaster perspective.

Being the master of ceremonies for a wedding is a big responsibility that can make or break the success of the reception and how it is remembered. In most cases a successful wedding MC will not set out to give a high profile entertaining performance at the reception, but will make sure he is well briefed and organized to make sure everything goes smoothly to make the reception a happy and memorable celebration - with the wedding couple as the stars of the show, not the MC.

A successful wedding MC needs checklists, templates and guidelines to make sure nothing important is overlooked at the wedding reception. A volunteer wedding MC may only do the job once or twice, ever.

A few of the World of Warcraft Horde power leveling guides have gotten a popular reputation, which makes most noobs go for them right away without looking to see if they are a good guide or not. They see the name on their search list, and they just automatically assume that the guide is good because they have heard of it. So, they go and purchase it without knowing more about it than the name But, until you have read up on a World of Warcraft power leveling guide, you should not purchase it.

What? Don't purchase it? That's right... don't.

Here is why:

1. Guide authors will push their own guides as much as they want to so they can make money. This is common sense and everyone knows this - but, some guide authors have never played one minute of World of Warcraft in their lives, and do not know what they are doing. They cut and paste information into a Horde power leveling guide, and then sell it for $30-60. They then hit every gaming web site that they can and push their guide until the name is popular so that new players will automatically go and buy it without reading up on it first.

2. Not all Horde power leveling guides are created equal. Most of the Horde power leveling guides out there today only take you through one race, usually Troll, and one class, almost always a hunter. While this is ok if you just want to brag that you have a 70, it is not ok if you actually want to enjoy the end-game experiences that await you once you hit 70. There are thousands of hunter players out there because of these guides, and you will find that your end-game instances will not be as good and you will not find as many groups to do them if you are a hunter. Other players will look for healers, casters, and tanks for instances, not just hunters.

3. Some Horde power leveling guides are written poorly. This means that noobs cannot pick them up and just hit the game and play. Some of these guides are written for more advanced players or are written by people who are not very talented writers, so the guides are hard to follow for players that have never played World of Warcraft before.

But, there are good Horde power leveling guides out there on the market. Just keep in mind that they are not all created equal. One good Horde power leveling guide that allows you to play any class, any race, from 1-70, and is written so that anyone can understand it is Flamewater's Horde Power Leveling Guide. This one guide can take a noob and make them a 70 in 15 days or less and offers great free reports and extras that you cannot get anywhere else.
