| Recommended for 100 or more
guests. The DJ will hand out keys (can collect rejects from locksmiths for this) to female
guests during meal while all the guests are seated (we suggest about 30 keys) Be sure to
spread them out amongst different tables.
The DJ should tell them they are for a joke later on, and
they'll understand when it happens, or tell them something like "in about 10 minutes
I'm going to make a special announcement. When I make that announcement, please bring the
key to the center of the dance floor.".
If the Bride and Groom ask what you are doing, just say you
are taking requests. Don't give keys to the immediate family. If there are any pregnant
women, make sure at least one gets a key, and ask her to come up last (but not before the
guy). Can also give one key to a guy who looks like he could be gay or bi. Tell him that
when his time comes, he should come up and sit on the groom's lap, give him a BIG kiss,
and drop the key in the bowl. Suggest that he try and look the part. Waiters are often
good choices for this
Can also take a few brown lunch bags and stuff them with
extra-extra large fishnet stockings, teddies, etc. (If the bride is large, get
small stuff instead-don't want guests to actually think this is the bride's stuff). Give
these to a few of the really rowdy guys.
Must get photographers and videographers ready (with fresh
rolls of film) before starting-this makes great pictures. Let them know to stand to the
side of the bride opposite the groom to capture these very memorable shots.
After dinner, invite the bride and groom onto the dance
floor, and have them sit in two chairs that you've placed side by side. Tell a story about
how weddings day's mark a new beginning for the couple and that along with that new
beginning they should have lots of honesty. Say something like "you don't want to
enter a new marriage with skeletons in the closet," then ask the guests to guess who
has the most skeletons in their closet. Of course most will say the groom. Congratulate
them for a correct guess, then say... "You're right and as I walked through the room
earlier, so many of you offered great tales of the groom's antics, we could be here all
night telling them, but one really stood out."
Then say something like "the best man told me one that
he and the groom swore to each other they would take to their graves." By the way
most best men are so close to the groom, there is probably a few stories that they vowed
not to tell, so this line makes the groom think twice.
Then tell the story of "The groom, before being swept
away by the bride, was known as quite a ladies man, so much so that he had many duplicate
keys made of his apartment. He would always give the keys to gorgeous women and tell them
to let themselves in whenever they wanted. He would always be ready."
Then tell how "the best man claims the groom might
have inadvertently invited some of those women from his past to the wedding, so tonight
we'd like to request that if by chance any of those ladies did attend, please turn your
key in now so the bride & groom can sleep ... privately ... tonight and forever. After
all, we don't want them being disturbed during one of those, ahem, inconvenient moments.
Say your I'm sorries to (bride's name) and kiss (groom's name) goodbye."
Hand a glass plate (9" round) to the groom on
his lap. Start the song "Just A Gigolo" and watch as all the ladies turn in
their keys. You should be standing right behind the groom, looking surprised! At this
time, the ladies should start filing up to the groom. Maybe suggest they lean over (or sit
on his lap) and give him a kiss as they drop the keys in the bowl. MAKE SURE THEY LOOK AT
THE CAMERA(S) AS THEY DO THIS! The reaction is great! These photo's WILL be sold and the
photo & video people will like you for helping them set up a great shot.
When they are done coming up, if a key was given to a guy,
continue further with "Now just to make absolutely sure, if ANYBODY still has the key
to xxx's apartment, please come up and turn it in." At this point, the guy with the
key saunters up, sits on the groom's lap, kisses him, and drops the key in the bowl. At
this point say something like, "Wow, you didn't think he had THAT kind of past, did
you?"
After that is done, can continue with "now wait a
minute (bride's name), it's come to my attention that you had quite a bit of a single life
also, and apparently on some of those late evenings, you forgot a few things around town.
If there any of (bride's name)'s forget-me-nots left in the audience, would you please
bring them up."
Have the guys drape the clothing items on the bride, and
stay up there for a picture.
