I have a friend, who I used to be very close with, until she got married and put her own friends and life on the back burner for her husband. She's a completly different person now then she was before they got married and we rarely see or talk to each other now. I was her MOH for her wedding two years ago (when we were close) and now that I'm getting hitched and would like her to be involved in the wedding, whats everyones opinion on asking her to MC the reception???

[QUOTE]MCing is a job that should be paid.

Yup.
That's what your event coordinator is for or the DJ. That's all she wrote.
[QUOTE]MC is part of the DJ's job. You don't have to ask. It's part of the package. Just let this girl come as a guest. Putting her to work is not going to make her feel better about your drifted friendship.

Ditto this.
I MCed a friend's wedding. It was honestly kind of a pain, because I had to be hyper aware of what was going on and where I had to be when. I volunteered to be her DOC as a gift, but had she just suggested that I do it for her, I would have been less than thrilled.
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
You said you want her to be involved, and she definitely will be involved as a guest. There's no need for everyone special to you to have a "job" or a "place of honor" at your wedding. Just because you don't give a job to someone at your reception/wedding doesn't make them any less important in your life. It just means they won't have to work at your wedding.
It's a girl!
I'm an event planner and often have to MC my events and it is very stressful!! You can't really enjoy the event. It is definitely a job you should hire someone for. That is what the DJ is for!
Have her do a reading or come as a guest. That's an honor too!
Skip the emcee part. Go for guest, which is also an honor.
