An unusual wedding greeting - interesting for guests and newlyweds!
Good afternoon dear friends!
Few people prepare unusual congratulations for a wedding, agree! Therefore, I propose to continue the wedding theme. We have already discussed gifts for a bachelorette party, we can move on to choosing gifts for the main holiday of the newlyweds.
Do you think that if you are invited to a wedding celebration, do you need to prepare for it in advance? I think it’s a must! Now I’m not talking about gifts for the newlyweds, but about how you will present your prepared gifts to them.
After all, a new married couple who has decided to combine their lives into one certainly deserves to receive unusual congratulations on their wedding?
Why am I talking about non-standard congratulations?
It's just that, in my opinion, most wedding events have one recurring theme.
When the time comes to present gifts to the newlyweds, the invited guests begin to congratulate the newlyweds one by one, reading standard poems from postcards, stuttering and stammering. And the rest of the guests at this time are talking to each other, not listening to the words of the next speech. And sometimes young people can hardly understand the confused congratulations of friends and relatives.
And only when a guest who has prepared for the event begins to congratulate the bride and groom, reads by heart or shows a pre-prepared and rehearsed congratulation, the whole wedding freezes and begins to watch what is happening with interest. And, of course, such an action stands out from the crowd and is remembered by the bride and groom.
Have you encountered a similar fact? I personally have done it many times.
Therefore, our task is to prepare an unusual wedding greeting in order to surprise the newlyweds and create a bright moment in the congratulatory part of the wedding event.
Unusual wedding greetings: creativity and imagination
Of course, I won’t be able to present you with all the options; I will list only the simplest ones that are available to everyone and do not require any monetary investment:
- Compose congratulations, all the words of which will begin with one letter of the alphabet (which one is up to you, but perhaps you shouldn’t start with “x” :-)). Naturally, the longer the congratulation is, the more interesting it will sound. Next, ask your guests to come up with wishes for the newlyweds using the same letter. Thus, you will not only attract attention to your congratulations, but also enliven the gift-giving procedure.
- Make a congratulations in the form of an interview - come up with cool questions for the bride and groom. The need to answer you will invigorate the newlyweds and add an interesting note to the celebration.
- If you are together, you can make a congratulations in the form of a TV show. Make frames out of cardboard - “TV screens” and read out your congratulations (it should be appropriate), as announcers read the news on television. It could get quite interesting.
- If you are invited to a wedding by a group of several friends, you can make a small performance - remake one of the famous children's fairy tales as a “love story” of the newlyweds and depict it “in person” in the form of a skit.
When your original congratulations for the newlyweds are voiced, you can present them with your main gift with peace of mind.
By the way, if you are going to give money, then you should also do this in a non-standard way. Read how to prepare an original gift of money with your own hands in this article, and here see how you can give your money gift in an original way. May your gift be the most unexpected and memorable!
Well, if you are going to a wedding with a large group of friends, then I advise you to prepare a cool surprise for the newlyweds! Read about it here.
I think I’ve given you some direction for your thoughts, and you yourself can be smart and come up with something interesting for the bride and groom.
And in this video you will see how NOT to congratulate newlyweds. Look, the guys ridicule all the commonly used options for wedding congratulations in a humorous manner.
Mini performance
Are you thinking about how to congratulate the newlyweds in an original way? Organize a small theatrical performance for them, in which you can involve a couple more guests. Such a congratulation would be appropriate at a banquet, when the unsuspecting newlyweds and other guests are treated to wedding dishes. Their surprise and delight will know no bounds! You can choose a fairy-tale theme for such a congratulation: dramatize the story of the meeting and love of the newlyweds based on the fairy tales “Cinderella”, “Sleeping Beauty”, etc.
Cash gifts
You can, of course, not rack your brains and give money, but this is trivial. Therefore, this needs to be done in an unusual way.
- You can make a carpet out of money. Take money of the same denomination and glue it with tape, and from bills of a different denomination make either a drawing (for example, a heart or two rings) or write a congratulation. So that the newlyweds can later use this money, it is better to put it in files, and then connect these files with each other.
- Make “designer diapers.” To do this, take a package of diapers and cover them with banknotes of different denominations. And lay the diapers themselves, for example, in the form of a cake.
- Another way to congratulate newlyweds on their wedding in an original way is to take a real brick, sign it instead of a postcard, and put the money in some beautiful bag and stick it to the brick. Or cover a brick with money - it’s like “for your house we give you the first brick and some money for the second”
- Buy an umbrella and tie money to each knitting needle. When the newlyweds open it, money will “rain” on them.
- Instead of photographs, put banknotes in the photo album.
- Change money into small denominations, tie each stack with paper ribbons. Buy a suitcase or chest and put stacks of money in it.
- Take a large box, for example, from a TV, cover the sides inside with wallpaper, put toy furniture there (sold in any children's store), you can put two toys symbolizing the bride and groom (for greater persuasiveness, you can even glue the faces of the newlyweds cut out from photographs onto the heads of the toys ). The walls of the “house” can also be decorated with printed photographs of the bride and groom. Buy a small chest or safe in which to place your monetary gift. Play up the presentation of a gift by saying that this house is a symbol of the old life of the newlyweds, but there is room for a new story of their love. And their daughter will need all the contents someday.
- An idea for how parents can congratulate the newlyweds in a non-trivial way. Buy a package of Kinder surprises, carefully open them with a hot knife and put a banknote in each egg, glue the eggs with melted chocolate or chocolate paste. You can put apartment or car keys in one of the eggs. Present such a tray of eggs with the words: “May your life be sweet and full of surprises.” Or buy regular chocolate bars, carefully unwrap them and insert banknotes, seal them and give them as a gift. You can pack the tiles beautifully, decorating them with ribbons and bows.
- If you still have a box from the service (if not, then you can take any box and wrap it in wrapping paper), then you can put a lot of broken glass in it. When the time comes to congratulate the newlyweds, you can say that you personally want to congratulate and give them a gift in the form of a tea set. On the way to the newlyweds, you need to pretend that you stumbled and fell or simply dropped the box. The sound of broken “dishes” is heard, the guests are shocked, you are “very upset.” Then, with the words: “So it’s fate, you’ll have to choose the service yourself,” you hand over an envelope with money.
Creative gifts
If you decide that money is money, and the memory of a gift should last a lifetime, then it’s enough to apply a little imagination. You can use one of the following ideas:
- If the wedding takes place in winter, then the issue of congratulating the newlyweds can be resolved in this way - by ordering for them an ice sculpture in the form of a heart, cupid or rings.
- Write a song that will be performed by an invited musical group or record it yourself on a disc and play it during the holiday.
- Create a film about the life of the newlyweds before marriage. It may consist of photographs or videos from the family archive. Another version of the film is when all the relatives and friends will say their wishes to the young people on camera. And if you also ask passers-by, the newlyweds will be doubly pleased. It is especially touching if you manage to find those with whom the young people studied at school or university. If you have the opportunity to shoot from different cities, it will turn out very interesting and beautiful.
- For a bride who loves sweets, you can order a bouquet of chocolate, marzipan or caramel flowers.
- Draw or order a picture depicting the newlyweds.
- Another idea on how you can congratulate newlyweds on their wedding day is to make a comic first aid kit, accompanying each medicine with a wish.
- I give you effervescent aspirin so that your love will be burning;
- take a bandage as soon as possible so that there are no offenses in the family;
- and so that you have a baby boy, I put some brilliant green in the medicine cabinet;
- and in order to give birth to a girl, I want to give iodine;
- so that you live richly, I will put cotton wool in the first aid kit;
- so that your love is eternal, here are heart drops and others.

How to congratulate newlyweds on their wedding in an original, fun and interesting way?
The wedding day is the most memorable and important day for two people who decide to unite their destinies by marriage. As a rule, a wedding celebration is filled with touching moments, unbridled fun and, of course, sincere congratulations from the closest and dearest people.
Invited guests always want to stand out, surprise the newlyweds, and congratulate them on their wedding in an original and interesting way. But more often than not, at the holiday table, “tired” toasts and poems read from purchased postcards are heard. If you are not a supporter of banal speeches and template gifts, but want to present your congratulations in a truly unusual way and surprise the bride and groom, then this article is for you! Read and you will find out...
Important components of a successful wedding congratulations
First of all, let's learn a few simple rules that many guests at weddings neglect, as a result of which the mood deteriorates not only among other guests, but also among the newlyweds.
- Sincerity . Congratulations, of course, must come from the heart. Insincere and memorized words are immediately noticeable. Therefore, it is better to say a few words from the heart than to read abstruse and pompous phrases from a piece of paper.
- Time. The timing of the speech is also important. Most likely, everyone who has attended a wedding has met such a slightly inebriated guest who tested the patience of those around him with long and boring speeches. Verbal congratulations should not be long, but they must be bright and memorable.
- Delicacy . Even if you know the newlyweds very closely, you should not mention in your congratulations any piquant details from your “bachelor” life or remember any other moments that could embarrass the bride or groom in front of the guests.
Book for recommendations
An almost obligatory element of a modern wedding. This could be a snapshot album from a photo booth, a scrapbooking pad, or even a large poster. Remember one simple rule: if you are attending a wedding, you must leave your congratulations in the wish book.
Emotions from the wedding, wishes for the future, advice for a young family - write whatever you want! Share your impressions of this day, thank the newlyweds for inviting you to their holiday. You don’t need to prepare the text in advance; on the contrary, the more “lively” and sincere it is, the better. However, if you want to quote the classics, it will never be superfluous. But the quote should be romantic, positive, and not overly philosophical or sad.
Here it is also important to remember the tact and appropriateness of certain wishes. For example, if you and the newlyweds have an exclusively professional relationship, try to avoid excessive familiarity, and vice versa - a dry wish without individuality and your personal emotions can offend the newlyweds if you are their close relative.
WEDDYWOOD PARTNERS
Read less ready-made wishes and poems on the Internet, and write from the bottom of your heart. Believe me, your sincere words are much more valuable to the newlyweds than beautiful but formulaic congratulations.
