If there will be a bride ransom at the wedding, then you need to think about what tests to arrange for the groom so that getting his beloved’s hand in marriage does not seem too simple to him. The “Chamomile” competition for a wedding is considered very popular in this regard. It can be easily prepared by girlfriends and relatives on the girl’s side, with her support. The groom will have to try, show off his intelligence and strain his memory in order to be allowed one step closer to his dream.
Is such entertainment necessary at all?
Bride ransom is an old tradition that has been honored for many generations. It is believed that it is at this time that the groom truly fights for his happiness and proves to everyone around him that he is worthy of his beloved. At different times, different tests were arranged for the young man, but all of them were aimed at demonstrating ingenuity, strength and imagination.
Nowadays, ransom is no longer carried out at every wedding. Some strive to organize a modest celebration with a minimum of solemn and noisy entertainment, others imitate Western traditions, where elegance and style are a priority, and still others do not want to organize a banal event.
If the bride and groom still decide that there will be a ransom, then they cannot do without competitions. Of course, the groom can bypass this part of the celebration with cunning, for example, by entering not through the entrance, but through the window, where no one is waiting for him, but this option is not always available. In most cases, the young man has to go through several tests, which gradually bring him closer to his beloved’s door.

Dealing with the petals
In this test, the groom shows how well he knows his beloved. Guests from the bride's side who conduct the ransom prepare tricky questions related to the girl, her tastes, hobbies, dreams and family. All this is written on separate petals of a “daisy” made of paper or other material.
The bridesmaids will find out the answers to all the questions from her in advance; they can be written down in brackets on the same petals so as not to forget in the chaos, but only so that the groom and his team do not see. It doesn’t matter how exactly he gives the correct answer, so even the option he spied is counted.
After successfully completing each question, one daisy petal is torn off. If the groom does not know how to answer, or answers incorrectly, he can buy the piece of paper for money, candy or any other currency. The competition ends when the flower is left without petals.
If you wish, you can make an odd number of questions, and after each break you can say “likes” and “dislikes.” The last petal will be torn off with the word “loves”, so the groom is worthy to pass on.
The “Chamomile” competition can take place at any stage of the redemption. It should be taken into account that in total this stage of the wedding day should last no more than 20 minutes , so you need to prepare not too many questions, and the test must be carried out smoothly, without hitches.

How to make props
How to make a paper daisy for a competition? It’s extremely simple. Only the “chamomile” itself is needed as test details. If desired, you can buy it in a store with wedding accessories; in this case, it will be brightly and beautifully decorated, and the bridesmaids will not need to waste time on arts and crafts. If you don’t want to spend money on an item that will tear and end up in the trash anyway, you’ll need to make the props yourself.
An ordinary Whatman paper is suitable for the base. A circle and ovals are drawn on it according to the number of questions. They can be cut out separately to save paper, but then you will need to attach them to the core with a stapler or tape after decorating.
Any paints, colored pencils, markers, felt-tip pens and even colored paper are suitable for decorating a chamomile. The petals for the daisy for the competition must also be initially cut out of paper or whatman paper, drawing outlines with a pencil, then they will turn out smooth and neatly identical.
Options for test questions
The groom must show that he knows all the innermost thoughts of his beloved, her morals and biography. The questions should not be too complicated - a young man, for example, may not know what color the bride's briefcase was in first grade. The following options are considered universal:
- date of acquaintance;
- date of first kiss;
- how many children does the bride want;
- the name of the first teacher;
- mother-in-law sign according to the horoscope;
- wedding ring size;
- lover's weight in grams;
- bride's favorite color;
- words spoken by the groom during the marriage proposal;
- bride's age in days;
- father-in-law's eye color;
- how much time does the bride spend in front of the mirror in the morning;
- where the future spouse wants to live;
- What does your beloved like to do most?
Scenario
To make the test interesting and funny, the girlfriends need to prepare an accompanying text. It can be written in poetry or prose, depending on your imagination. You shouldn’t use too many words either - after all, the ransom should go quickly enough and without boredom.
A variant of the finished text: “And now, dear groom, we will find out if you love your bride enough to ask for her hand in marriage. Let's remember what our Mashenka (the bride's name) shared with you, and what you yourself learned about her. We have a chamomile for you, an unusual one, but with tricky questions. If you answer one, the petal is yours, but if you make a mistake, put the money in the treasury. Until all the petals fall from the daisy, we won’t let you go further.”
Interesting! For the wedding itself, you also need to choose options for interesting competitions - ordinary for everyone or only for young people.

Hello! A long time ago, in an article describing a certain children's game called “Forfeits,” I threatened to invent funny tasks in verse for this game.
And I even came up with them then, and they lay there for a long time and timidly waited in the wings. And finally, hurray! The hour has come!
There are currently 60 tasks. Basically, they are universal - suitable for both adults and children. And only four tasks are intended exclusively for an adult audience.
Additional Tips
At the bride price, many grooms get confused and worried, so they can answer even simple questions incorrectly. The young man should not be reproached for this, because if he did not love his bride, she would not have agreed to marry him. The competition should amuse those present, and not put the groom in an awkward position.
When preparing the test, the following points should be considered.
- Rewards for correct answers may vary. For example, collected petals can serve as a “key” to your beloved’s door, along with props from other competitions. Another option is that with each correct answer, the groom can take a step or climb a step on the stairs.
- Not only questions can be written on the petals. Bridesmaids can prepare tasks for the groom, each of which will bring the same rewards. You can also write numbers on the daisy, and the young man must understand what they mean. For example, the bride's height, her heel size or wedding date.
- Instead of paper daisies, you can use balloons. For each correct answer, one of them is given to the groom so that he can give them to the bride along with the bouquet.
- The chamomile can be made small so that only the groom can see the questions on the petals, and no one can tell him.
Funny tasks for children in the game of forfeits
- Call a friend on the phone and say three times: “Ku-ka-re-ku, it’s time to get up!”

- Pretend that you are a kitten and imitate its sounds and movements.
- Gather a choir of animals from the participants (at least 5 people). Everyone should pronounce the sounds of any animal, for example, croak, bark, moo, etc. In this way, perform a verse from the song “The Blue Car Runs and Sways.”
- Be a waiter and bring each guest what he wants (items or food in the room)
- Gather all the guests like a train, holding each other, and walk around the hall three times.
- Portray a famous cartoon character so that friends recognize him.
- Make a pantomime without words, showing that you are making a Snowman. Friends should tell you what you're doing.

- Come up with praise for two neighbors at the table.
- Name 10 names starting with the letter “A”.
Summary
To ensure that the bride price is not banal and boring, you need to approach its preparation with imagination. The “Chamomile” ransom competition, although it is held at almost every wedding, can be original if you prepare interesting questions. The bridesmaids can do this without the help of the bride, so that she does not give hints to the groom in advance.
