We are only having 100 people so my initial thought is not to have anyone from work... plus I don’t want to feel like I have to have my “work face” on all night. I still feel this way, but today FH...

I know the MOH and BM are supposed to give speeches at the reception, but what about others? Are the bride and groom supposed to say something? Some family members? What are you guys planning?
