Example: a filled MC Invoice
A bank books an MC for its customer dinner. The MC sends an invoice with script preparation and rehearsal.
Corporate event hosting (half day): 1 x ₦400,000 = ₦400,000
Script preparation: 1 x ₦50,000 = ₦50,000
Rehearsal attendance: 1 x ₦50,000 = ₦50,000
Total: ₦500,000. These amounts are examples; use your own prices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- No hours
- Not listing extras
- No due date
- Sending the invoice without a due date
Need a different document?
- Customer has already paid? Give a mc receipt.
- Customer wants a price before deciding? Send a proforma invoice first.
How MCs and comperes use an invoice
Companies booking an MC for launches, dinners and conferences need an invoice to approve payment. It lists the event, the hours and any extras.
Writing the items on a mc invoice
List each item or service on its own line, for example Corporate event hosting, Script preparation, Rehearsal attendance, with the quantity and the price for one unit. The generator adds up each line and the total due. Below the items, add the date you expect payment and your bank details, so the customer can pay the moment they open the invoice.
Tips for MCs and comperes
- Name the event and hours.
- List script and rehearsal separately.
- Add the due date.
Following up until you are paid
Put a clear due date on every invoice. If the date passes, send a short, polite reminder on WhatsApp with the invoice attached. When the customer pays, give them a receipt, and if they pay only part, give a part payment receipt showing the balance.
