What's a wedding without fun competitions? Everyone loves them - both old and young. But do not forget, when selecting wedding competitions for the celebration, take into account the age of the guests. Students and retirees are completely different audiences. Although there are competitions that will be interesting to everyone. On our website we offer you an excellent selection. These are universal music competitions for any wedding celebration.
"Miracle Hat"
Who participates: guests, bride and groom, their parents.
Props: hat, recordings of musical phrases from songs.
The toastmaster introduces everyone to a “miracle hat” that can “read minds.” Then he brings the headdress one by one to the head of the bride, the groom, their parents, one of the guests and asks what he is thinking about. A soundtrack with a fragment of a song immediately plays loudly. For example: “Why did you come to our collective farm, why did you disturb my peace?”
The competition requires thorough preparation - you need to prepare a lot of soundtracks in advance. But it usually goes off with a bang.
Musical
- Participants: guests.
- Props: depending on the script.
The presenter must come up with a short story in advance. Instead of the characters' lines there are musical compositions. Participants will only need to depict what is sung in the songs. The success of this competition depends on the artistry of the participants and the selected songs. Such funny wedding competitions are best held in the middle of the banquet, when all the guests get to know each other, and alcohol and an atmosphere of fun will help them relax.
"Musical Ring"
Who is participating: guests.
Props: cards with task-questions.
Two teams play. The toastmaster asks a question, the time to think about the answer is no more than 5-7 seconds. If the team does not answer, the right to name the version is given to the opponents.
Sample questions:
— A song about the ban on external attractiveness. (“Because you can’t be so beautiful in the world.”)
- An ex-duet, which included a spectacular tall brunette with no complexes and a funny, handsome man of short stature. (Cabaret duet “Academy”).
— Russian pop music star, ex-husband of my grandmother, but not my grandfather. (Philip Kirkorov).
— A pop star with a regal title, but at the same time prone to crime (hijacking). (Irina Allegrova).
Repeat the song
- Participants: 3-4 people.
- Props: none.
The presenter explains to the participants that they must listen and repeat a cappella fragment of the song. At first glance, everything is quite simple, but in the proposed fragments there are no understandable Russian words. Instead, passages with sounds or words in a complex foreign language, such as Chinese, are heard.
The team of the wedding portal www.svadbagolik.ru has selected fun music competitions for you. We hope you will find something for yourself among them. And may your wedding banquet be positive and memorable!
"Musical Dialogue"
Who participates: guests, and the newlyweds if desired.
Props: none.
The point of the competition is that the competitors engage in a musical dialogue. One team asks a question with a line from a song, the second responds with a quote from another composition.
Eg:
Question of the first team: Where are you, and where to look for your traces?
Rivals’ answer: Somewhere in this world, where it’s always frosty...
Then the second team asks the question, and the first team answers. The winner doesn't even have to be determined. The competition itself is lively, lively and perfectly lifts the spirits of all guests of the wedding banquet.
Guess the melody
- Participants: guests.
- Props: none.
Despite the fact that this is a fairly common wedding music competition, it never ceases to be popular. Guests are happy to guess their favorite songs. All that is needed for the competition is a selection of tunes and active participants. All guests or several people can take part in the competition. This can also be an option for a wedding competition for parents.
If the presenter plans to involve the entire room, then he needs to prepare small incentive prizes, for example, candy, and present them for each answer. If a competition is announced between several participants, then the one who guessed the most melodies is awarded.
There can be a lot of options for guessing songs. For example, you can ask participants to guess the song not by the melody, but by the last line or after listening to the song in reverse. It all depends on the imagination of the presenter.
Intellectual entertainment competitions
This is a new type of entertainment that has become increasingly popular lately. During the event, guests usually sit in their seats, answering questions from the host.
It is best to organize this entertainment between people, without breaking them into teams. Group play is possible if guests seat 5 people at separate tables. In this case, people will not have to move anywhere.
Musical competitions for wedding guests are fun and humorous.
You just need to start playing at one table.
- Include footage from popular films. It shouldn't be too long. It is enough to insert the main passages or phrases from the tape. Then ask everyone present to name which films were mentioned. The one who names the last tape is considered the winner.
- Bring out the melon and ask your guests to tell you its exact weight. The person who gives the closest answer wins a small souvenir.
- Let everyone write a short story about the bride or groom on a piece of paper, then put the paper in the hat. The toastmaster reads out the sheet, and the young couple guesses who wrote this about them.
- Check how well the guests know the spouses. Ask them some important questions. For example, what color the groom's eyes are or what height the bride is. It is possible to include funny questions in order to amuse the audience.
- Puzzles have been loved by everyone since childhood. Try playing this game with your guests. To do this, play simple riddles on the screen first. Of course, it is better that they are themed and reflect the wedding celebration. Before you know it, guests will be drawn into this entertainment and demand further continuation.

Tips for choosing
- Focus on the musical preferences of your guests. If this is a youth wedding, then it is hardly worth including accordion songs or Russian folk songs in the program. This kind of competition might go off with a bang once, but it’s unlikely to happen again.
- Keep it in moderation. Competitions are rightly considered the best entertainment for any wedding, but if you force guests to complete tasks for a long time without a break, it can cause dissatisfaction.
- It is ideal to include game blocks of 15-20 minutes in the program (2-3 competitions, no more) with breaks for dancing, toasts and everything else. But even if on paper everything seemed ideal, but in fact the guests are already tired and are performing tasks “under pressure” - a good host should immediately change the program, because his main task at any wedding is to maintain a good mood among everyone present, not allow irritation or boredom to occur.
- Say no to platitudes. Everyone knows the traditional wedding competitions that have long set their teeth on edge: if you attend 10 different weddings, at 8-9 of them the program may consist of 90% of the same “terribly funny” tasks.
- Don’t be lazy and find original ideas for competitions for your wedding - your guests will thank you for it.
- For competitions where participants must guess the melody or sing a song, choose only well-known musical compositions in Russian. Prepare microphones, soundtracks, tape recorder, etc. in advance. Check that everything works without failures or hiccups. Don't forget to also prepare prizes for the winners.
Competitions: musical and dance competitions at weddings
Well, what kind of wedding can take place without dancing until you drop? Why not make real competitions out of ordinary dances. It is best to involve young people in these competitions, since they are the most active and less shy.
Make 2 teams. One group is boys, the second is girls. The task of the guys is to depict how the girls dance, and the young ladies show the men. Then ask the teams to come up with a dance that they will give to the young spouses.
Give them time and the opportunity to choose the music themselves. Make a reservation that the presentation should not be long and complicated. Send the groom to dance along with the guys. And let the bride go to the young ladies. Then they will be able to make truly fiery and energetic numbers.
Competitions held in the hall
When preparing for active competitions, it is necessary to prepare suitable props.
You may need balloons, children's musical instruments, clothespins, newspapers, etc. When the newlyweds have danced their first dance, and the guests have relaxed and gotten comfortable, it's time to start holding active musical competitions, for example:
- Dancing couples. Pairs of participants are invited to slow dance on a newspaper. During the dance, the music stops and the newspaper is folded in half each time. The winner is the couple that lasts the longest without stepping over the edge of the newspaper.

- "Gophers and minks." Any number of female participants (preferably 8-10) and one more guy are invited. The girls stand in a circle with their backs inward, and the guys are located outside the circle facing the girls. While the music is playing, the guys must move in a circle one after another, and when the music stops, they, like gophers, must hide in a hole, that is, hide their heads between the girl’s knees. The "gopher", who did not have enough "mink", leaves the game, taking one of the girls with him. The most dexterous “gopher” and the most comfortable “mink” win.
- Musical applications. The host asks each guest in advance what song he wants to hear. In addition, you need to find out who should perform it and why this particular person will sing it. Having received such a request, guests almost never refuse to perform the song.
- "Turnip" . This competition is based on the principle of a famous fairy tale. You need to select 10 famous songs about wedding or love and write down on separate cards the words that end all the lines of the first verse of each song. Using these “tails,” participants must guess the song.

These competitions may seem a little boring, but they are not. Many guests always take part in them, and the rest actively support them.
Cool and funny singing competitions
Unfortunately, not everyone can sing. This idea should be taken into account. Therefore, all competitions should not be aimed at who has the best voice, but rather at presentation and manner of performance.
The best thing is the karaoke competition. By the way, the big advantage of song competitions is the ability to hold them right at the table.
If you want to make not just entertainment, but a truly funny game, then turn to the following options:
- Choose 5 people from the audience who are the most active and mobile throughout the evening. Take them to a room and ask them to dress up as famous celebrities. Let a man portray Dima Bilan, a group of girls will turn into ViaGra. And one of the bravest young ladies can become Irina Allegrova. When the music starts, the toastmaster will announce the arrival of celebrities who want to congratulate the couple. The task of the participants is to portray Russian pop stars as accurately as possible. As a rule, they show it quite funny. You can add comedy by dressing the guy as Allegrova and the girl as Bilan.
- Let's make two teams. They can be divided into a guy and a girl, or by tables, acquaintances. Each group is given a sheet of words and music. Their task is to come up with a short song using these words. After they do this, they have to perform it for the young couple.
- My favorite game since childhood is “Guess the Melody.” Everyone sitting still raises their hand and names what song was just played. The one who names the most times is automatically designated the winner.
- The musical hat is a game that goes great at any wedding celebration. The presenter prepares excerpts from musical compositions in advance. He approaches any guest present, asks him something, and in response, when he puts on his hat, music sounds. The songs are selected in such a way that they provide funny and funny answers.

For small spaces and older people
It is difficult to implement the idea of a noisy mass competition in a small space. In addition, people in adulthood are no longer ready to be as active as young guests. In this case, song competitions are suitable, which will set a festive mood among young people and guests of the older generation.
Such competitions involve completing simple tasks. You can divide the audience into teams - one side of the table against the other, etc. These games allow you to create an atmosphere of closeness and shared joy between those present.
Cutting for a musical wedding report
Scenario of an interesting music competition “Wedding Report”:
Toastmaster: Dear guests! Today we have witnessed a significant event - the birth of a new wonderful family, the joining of two halves into one whole. Let us celebrate this celebration so that it will be remembered for a long time and so that descendants will be told about it (the line “And this wedding happened” from the song of Muslim Magomayev sounds).
— Yes, it’s an important event, but I’d like to know more about its history, right? The Wheel of Fortune began to spin at the moment when, in... a year in a glorious city... a boy named... He was a wonderful baby, and so that everyone knew about it, he constantly spoke (it sounds like “I’m a good boy” from the song of the group Ruki Vverkh).
- And he specified what exactly he was good at (sounds “I play, I dance”).
- And a few years later, not far away, in (the city where the bride was born), a sweet girl was born, a cheerful laugher (children's laughter starts).
-But this girl’s plans and dreams were far from jokes (sounds like “And I’m an exemplary girl” from the song “Hooligan” by the group Podruga).
-And so, years later, the paths of a boy and a girl crossed, and (bride’s name) heard something touching (“You’re so beautiful,” by Quest Pistols).
-To which she reciprocated (sounds “You are so beautiful”, Bianca, song “A che che”).
-And it started spinning... (“This is love, I know for sure – this is love”, Alena Sviridova, “Poor Sheep”).
-The lovers could not get enough of each other, they firmly decided to get married, and responded to their parents’ warnings (“Mom, this is love,” track Gommoro).
-Parents gave in, looking at the happy eyes of their children, blessed the newlyweds and began preparing for the wedding celebration. The groom flew with happiness on the wings of love and constantly sang (the sound is “Bride, you are my bride” by Yegor Creed).
-And now the long-awaited wedding day has arrived (“Tili-tili dough, bride and groom”, track Lx24)
-Don’t forget about the honored guests of today’s celebration - the witness and the witness (a line of the song from the film “The Bremen Town Musicians” - “Our role is honorable and enviable”).
-Let’s listen to parting words from the parents (they give a speech, after which “Advice and Love” sounds, VIA “Blue Bird”).
-We welcome all other guests - friends, relatives. Without you, this grandiose event simply would not have taken place (the song “We wish you happiness” by the group Flowers sounds).
-From this day on, everyone present is close people to each other. Let the first common thing of this large and friendly family be applause and, of course... Bitterness! (the voices of the guests are heard, and then the track “Bitter”, Maria Bogomolova, the bride and groom kiss).
How to hold a vocal or dance competition?
In the 90s, life was very difficult for people, both morally and financially. Therefore, this time was marked by competitions and entertainment with vulgar and erotic overtones. Now the situation has changed radically.
Gained great popularity:
- musical;
- intellectual;
- funny competitions.
Musical competitions for weddings.
The task of each of them is to entertain and make guests laugh as much as possible.
It is quite difficult to organize a wedding evening. After all, it is necessary to draw up a script and prepare competitions. In addition, the guests at the celebration will not act within the framework of a pre-prepared scenario, which means that the toastmaster must immediately respond to comments or reluctance of the guests to participate.
During entertainment events, the presenter may encounter a number of difficulties:
- lack of desire among guests to participate;
- embarrassment;
- sharply negative feedback towards each planned action.
It is worth initially discussing the entire scenario with the newlyweds. Moreover, if previously the married couple relied entirely on the toastmaster’s script, now the situation has changed.
The girl and the boy meet in advance with the person who will conduct the celebration and completely discuss all the points. Moreover, the toastmaster offers a choice of several competitions from each block. In turn, young people must choose what they like most.
An experienced presenter should already look at the situation and the specific company. It is better if he has a dozen spare competitions in his reserve. For example, young people do not like to dance and have chosen all table entertainments, during which it is not at all necessary to get up.

But the guests opposite dance with pleasure and do not want to sit at the tables. Then the host must change the script as the wedding progresses, adapting to the wishes of the majority of guests.
To avoid conflict situations, it is better to approach the young wife and husband in advance and discuss this issue in advance.
