The ransom is considered one of the most fun moments at a wedding celebration. The process is especially fun if it is organized by the bridesmaids. It is on their shoulders that this responsibility must be placed.
The girls know the groom and his friends well, so they will be able to come up with competitions for them. In addition, girlfriends often come up with the most tricky tasks, which the groom’s friends and future spouse carry out with great difficulty. In this article we will look at how to make original posters for a wedding or bride price with your own hands.
Tradition of Ancient Rus'
This is like a kind of announcement of a further celebration, because it takes place at the very beginning of the holiday and its main task is to cheer up the newlyweds and their guests before registering their marriage.
And yet, despite the fact that this custom is now as simplified as possible, its essence has remained unchanged - the groom must prove to his bride and her family and friends that he is worthy of his betrothed.
The bridesmaids are usually the ones who organize the ransom. It is they who must figure out how to conduct the bride ransom in a fun and unusual way. A ready-made bride price kit can help with this. If you don’t have enough time to prepare, such a set will be a real salvation. There you will find a lot of useful things for organizing a decent ransom.
The bride ransom kit includes everything you need, from bride ransom posters to a list of competitions for the groom and witness.
Creating a photo zone in the yard
In order for the photo zone to serve as a backdrop for wedding photographs, it must be made in such a way that the guests and newlyweds do not cover it with their backs.
The best option is to organize seating areas next to or above which the main decorations will be concentrated. Options for designing a photo area:
- The simplest and most common option is a banner with the names of the newlyweds and their wedding date; the inscriptions on it should be bright and clear.
- Decoration of a photo zone in a club style: pieces of foil are sewn to a curtain or a large piece of fabric so that the base (fabric) is not visible. The newlyweds and their guests can be given mini disco balls made from pieces of mirror glued to unnecessary balls or round pieces of foam.
- Paper photo props can be purchased or made by yourself (printed stencils are glued to thick cardboard, then mounted on thin wooden sticks). Props options depend on the preferences of the newlyweds and the style of the wedding.
- Old frames from paintings and photographs can be used for a photo shoot at a wedding: guests and newlyweds hold the frame in their hands, as if they were drawn in a picture.
- The background for the photo is a board on which chalk writes well (like a school board). On such a board you can draw and write anything you want using white or colored crayons. Guests can leave their wishes and funny drawings on it.
- A canvas thickly covered with artificial flowers made of fabric or paper will create a blooming carpet behind the backs of the newlyweds, as if the wedding celebration has moved to a flower meadow.

A wedding at home, how to decorate the room, organize a photo zone - this is what lovers who are planning a budget wedding with a small number of guests usually think about. But, even if the celebration is held at home, you need to think through the details of the decor so that this holiday will be remembered for a long time, in order to make the photographs more solemn and bright.
Posters are a necessary attribute at the bride price
In addition to their entertainment role, posters for ransoming your beloved bride at a wedding can also bring practical benefits. Not every bride lives in a luxurious mansion; most often the groom arrives at an ordinary entrance.
Bright and cheerful posters will help hide not-so-clean walls, hide all sorts of defects, and will look harmonious and festive in photo and video shooting. And guests who arrived earlier will be able to entertain themselves by studying them.
Interesting options (photo)
Already at the stage of redemption, the groom can estimate how, after the wedding, his and his wife’s responsibilities in the household sphere will be distributed.
Such a poster is both a beautiful decoration and a test task for the groom.
Another option with tasks for the groom.
A colorful and unusual poster for ransom that will allow the groom to get to know his future wife better.
Interesting DIY poster.
One of the traditional banners is to guess the sponge trail of your beloved.
Even the simplest poster, created with your own hands, can bring much more positive emotions than a purchased one.
After passing all the tests associated with the ransom, the groom can confess his absolute love to his soulmate. To do this, you need to fill in the missing words, in particular, the name of your beloved.

How does the ceremony take place?
All the fun begins with the arrival of the groom. It will not be so easy for him to get to his chosen one - the cunning witnesses have prepared a lot of interesting tests for him. What does the groom have to do in order to finally see his chosen one? He sings songs, recites poems, and answers tricky questions. In this difficult test, guests willingly help or hinder him. The bride price kit also includes various tests for the groom’s ingenuity and intelligence, and his sense of humor will come in handy in order to pass all the tests with honor.
And finally, all the tasks are completed, and he can go to his bride. And here’s another surprise - there is a bride, but her shoes are missing. If you don’t find what’s missing, the wedding is over, because the bride won’t go barefoot. Organizing searches is quite simple.
Hide this item of clothing in one of the shoe boxes, and put someone else's shoes in the others and ask the groom to guess which box contains the right shoes. For every wrong answer, the groom will have to pay. The bride price kit may include stickers in the form of arrows. From them you can lay several “paths”, one of which will lead to loss. If the groom chooses the wrong option, then another test awaits him at the end of the road.
Organization of redemption
In order for guests to have a snack, relax a little and get to know each other, organize a small buffet table during the redemption. If conditions permit, such a table can even be placed outdoors. It is not necessary to contact specialists to organize such a buffet - the bride’s parents or bridesmaids will be able to decorate the table themselves. Almost every wedding has a photographer or cameraman, and every detail of the celebration will be captured on film.
Therefore, decorate the table as aesthetically as possible. Do not use disposable tableware; it will look rather unpresentable in photographs. Cut snacks and fruits neatly, and sandwiches can be made in the shape of hearts. You should not put strong drinks on the table, otherwise many guests may simply not make it to the restaurant.
Limit yourself to champagne or light wine. It is also better to leave hot dishes for the evening. And while the groom is having fun, running errands for his bridesmaids, the buffet table will not let the other guests get bored.
What types of wedding posters are there?
A wedding is not only the solemn day itself, but also the preliminary preparation for it, the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Modern men, of course, are difficult to imagine with pencils and felt-tip pens in their hands, unless there are professional artists among the friends and relatives of the future newlyweds. As a rule, the female half is responsible for designing wedding posters, but even this is not so important. It is important to approach the process creatively and patiently, and then the poster will turn out stylish, bright, and memorable.
Photo of the original wedding competition poster
Let's start with bachelorette party posters . Usually, cheerful bridesmaids prefer to draw wall newspapers and create wedding collages with their own hands - this is a fun pastime that is sure to result in a great result. There are no specific rules for making such posters, but the inscriptions should be large and bright, no gloomy tones (unless it is a Halloween or Goth wedding), the posters should be diluted with photographs of the bride and her bridesmaids for the entire period of their acquaintance - even from kindergarten times .
DIY ransom posters
If the outfit for the wedding is already ready, all the necessary pre-holiday procedures have been completed, and there is still time, you can make posters for purchase yourself.
Arm yourself with pencils, markers, scissors, and go ahead – create masterpieces!
Posters made independently will compare favorably with finished products; they will be appreciated by both the bride and groom and guests.
You can arrange a themed bride price by writing a script based on your favorite movie, show, or even cartoon of one of the newlyweds. Or, as an option, go the opposite way. Groom doesn't like horror movies? Arrange for him a Count Dracula-style ransom, where he will have to make his way through hordes of vampires to his beloved.
And keep in mind that posters must match the style of the event. A flying saucer is unlikely to harmonize with gloomy vampires. The inscriptions on the posters should be cheerful and humorous, but should not offend anyone. Black humor has no place here . Young people are already very worried, and a bad joke can spoil the mood and disrupt the atmosphere of fun.
How to make a bright, memorable poster
To create a memorable gift, it is very important to choose a catchy text. Come up with a poem, use classic wishes, or look for an original version on the Internet. The young people will probably remember your masterpiece - a colorfully executed story of their meeting with photographs, beautiful pictures, ornaments and decorative elements.
DIY wedding posters are an excellent decorative element and a memorable gift for newlyweds. A handmade product will be an excellent decoration for a wedding celebration.
Options for inscriptions on posters
- We value the bride, we won’t just give her away.
- Stop, groom! Don’t move a step - the bride is waiting for you here.
- Don't skimp on your bride!
- Prove that you are a poet by writing a couplet in honor of your wife.
- A green-eyed (brown-eyed...) girl is languishing in this entrance.
The redemption procedure itself should take no more than an hour. Otherwise, you will tire not only the bride and groom, but also all the guests. And no buffet table will save you from boredom. At the same time, a prolonged redemption ceremony may lead to a delay in the registry office.
Tree of Happiness
It doesn’t matter where the ransom will be carried out - in a private house or in an apartment building, in any case, the tests will begin on the street. For this competition you will need any tree, which should be decorated in advance with paper hearts and bows. Envelopes with photographs of celebrities need to be attached to several branches using satin ribbons. This could be Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz. You can dilute the groom’s pleasant impressions with photographs of Alla Pugacheva, Larisa Dolina in her youth with incredible makeup, or Boris Moiseev. The groom must be brought to the tree and invited to tear off any envelope with the image of his future wife. The photo he has chosen should be praised and offered to take this candidacy to the registry office. He will have to pay for every wrong envelope torn off. After the hero of the occasion discovers that the image of his beloved is not in the last envelope, he will naturally begin to be indignant. To this, the witness and other bridesmaids will have to reasonably state that brides do not grow on trees . And in order to achieve it, you should try hard.
A modern alternative to foreclosure
Despite the fact that a wedding with a ransom is much more fun, more and more young people are abandoning this tradition. If the bride and groom are not fans of a traditional wedding, the ransom may not be carried out. It will be enough to organize a spectacular appearance of the groom at the house where his chosen one lives. There are also many options here - from a traditional, luxurious limousine to a chrome Harley. You can organize a wonderful date in the morning.
A little angel will bring a beautifully designed letter to the bride with an invitation to a cozy, romantic place, where her chosen one will be waiting for her with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. But it’s still worth elegantly decorating the chosen place in advance so that the atmosphere matches the event. If the young man has vocal abilities, he can sing a serenade to his chosen one.
Whatever option you choose, the main thing to remember is that the wedding day should be filled with joy, fun, light and extraordinary romance from the very morning. Memories of this day should bring a happy smile even after a few years.
Texts of slogans for a wedding in a banquet hall
If the wedding will be celebrated in the dining room, you can use posters to easily eliminate defects in the hall - flooded walls, fallen plaster, fallen bricks, cracked windows. It's also a great cheat sheet for a guest who really wants to make a toast but can't come up with anything on their own.
