This theme is great for both children and adults. How to organize a birthday in a military style (Military style), military holidays (February 23, etc.)

, choose a script, games, costumes, decorate the room, festive table and much more you will learn on this selection page.

HOLIDAY DESIGN for a birthday in a military style

The main colors for a military style, like camouflage, are green, brown and black.

If the event takes place in an apartment or other small room, then you better create the atmosphere of a headquarters, but if the event takes place outdoors or in a large room, you can create a headquarters in military field conditions (decoration) - for this it is best to use tent.

To decorate doors, walls, a sweet table and, of course, for a themed photo zone, you can use camouflage netting and elements of a military uniform. When designing on a military theme, you can use geographical maps and national symbols (coat of arms, flag).

Use posters with mottos for soldiers (can be humorous) or army jokes, soldiers' regulations, or a holiday plan.

Additionally, you can decorate the room with toy soldiers and military equipment, cut out stars from metalized (or regular) cardboard.

Military Party Scenario

It’s also worth talking about events and competitions that can be used at parties of this theme in order to finally get the audience going, putting them in the right military mood. As an example, you can hold a party with the distribution of military ranks and ultimately determine the best fighter of this front.

Before the party, you need to prepare shoulder straps from almost any material, be it plain paper, cardboard or fabric. When all the guests are set for the event, they are each assigned the rank of private. Titles can be awarded either by the party host, the organizer, or the animator.

To receive the first rank of sergeant, you need to win a competition for speed and reaction. Absolutely any games can be used here, the only nuance of which is that they at least remotely carry a certain military theme. This task is designed to ensure that, having enjoyed the first competition, all guests receive this title. After this, they are given the appropriate shoulder strap .

A gangster party is a good reason to gather friends!

After this, more difficult conditions of struggle begin. All participants are divided into two teams, having previously chosen captains , because the next competition is for them. The organizer or host of the celebration ties their hands with ropes as tightly as possible and the goal of this task is to get out of the bonds accordingly. Such a competition is very suitable for a party with a corresponding theme, because there have been so many cases when, in combat conditions, fighters needed to free themselves from the ropes as quickly as possible and escape from captivity.

Meanwhile, a competition is held for sergeants in the form of jumping over obstacles. Such obstacles can be a section of a room with various ropes that you need to jump over without ever catching them, and it is also possible to use structures from chairs or furniture to create the ambiance of a real obstacle course. And only the best, by the decision of the presenter, will be able to receive another

rank.

In this set of events, the next rank is colonel . Their leader must choose two, one from each team. And finally, the final stage is the battle of the colonels for the rank of general. The essence of this competition is that the two winners of the previous competition put inflated balloons under their clothes and after that they must converge on a designated place in a circle, which will be the territory of the duel for them. The fight follows the principle of sumo fighters; you need to push your opponent beyond the designated territory. But before that, symbolizing team assistance to the fighter, both teams must inflate his balloons. Whichever team inflates and completes the colonel the fastest will ultimately, regardless of victory or defeat in the final competition, receive a consolation prize for their dedication to their colonel.

After the colonels are ready, at the command of the leader, they converge and the battle begins. Whichever one of them wins, that team will win accordingly.

After the winner is determined, the colonel is solemnly promoted to general, who, in addition to all this, receives a symbolic gift, as well as the title of front hero. Well, after such a series of competitions, guests can sit down at the table and continue the celebration again at the usual pace.

Themed birthday decor in Military style

Thematic decor: photo props, masks, numbers, posters - stylized to match the theme in the army style

- this is always a very good and simple technique in order to support the overall style of the holiday. Decor figures can be used in the form of a poster, figured toppers, and balloon pendants. Print out masks and photo props - you're guaranteed fun for the kids.

Military style birthday clothes

Having agreed with the invited guests on costumes or its elements (this can be indicated in the invitations).

For a military-style birthday party, clothing with elements of camouflage or discreet khaki and brown shades is suitable.

Additionally, you can use bandanas, headbands, various accessories - army dog ​​tags, medallions, badges and of course, toy weapons!

For a more authentic image, we also recommend giving your guests war paint using face painting.

For girls, you can use the image of a nurse - a bandage on the arm (in field conditions) or a white medical cap will be enough for it.

The image of the young

The theme of the wedding should fully reflect the newlyweds and be interesting to the guests. A celebration in the style of the Airborne Forces will be relevant:

1. Young people, one of whom served or is serving in the army.
2. If the wedding coincided with Paratroopers' Day.

Guests with themed accessories or clothing items will add a special flavor to the holiday.

Some girls prefer the classic style of the dress, decorated with blue ribbons and a veil. The more daring ones prefer models made of khaki fabric .

The corset will look original with sewn-in details that imitate a paratrooper's vest. This look can be completed with a bright veil and sky-colored shoes. The bride's makeup should not be too flashy. Otherwise it will look tasteless.

For a creative bride, the dress can be replaced with a paratroop uniform . Pants in combination with a vest and rough shoes will captivate all guests. It is worth paying attention to the choice of bouquet for the bride . The ideal option would be a composition of green shades and blue buds.

A paratrooper's wedding will be unique and memorable if the groom wears his military uniform . A vest, a beret, a camouflage suit with chevrons, will be ideally emphasized by a hard belt with a shiny plaque and brutal shoes.

blue two-piece suit will also be relevant . For a simpler look, you can choose a vest and blue jeans.

The images of the newlyweds on their special wedding day should complement each other, and not highlight one of them

Military-style weddings for officers are very popular today. Such a celebration does not oblige young people to completely dress in camouflage. The bride can wear a delicate dress, combining it with rough army boots. Or complement the image with nautical themed elements. The groom will look very handsome next to his beloved in an officer's suit. Photos in this image will turn out gentle and beautiful.

MILITARY BIRTHDAY MENU

Military themed birthday menu

can be roughly divided into “camping”, “field kitchen”, “canteen”.

The camping menu (packed rations) mainly includes products intended for long-term storage (canned food), easy-to-prepare dishes, instant foods, tea, sugar, etc. If desired, the hiking menu can be slightly “diluted” with sandwiches.

Field kitchen

with soldier's porridge can be arranged if the birthday party will take place outdoors (in nature, in the country, etc.).

“ canteen” menu for a soldier’s diet should be simple and high in calories - when creating a menu, focus on the name of the dishes: soldier’s porridge, general’s cutlet, etc.

For dessert, order a beautiful cake with fondant in the form of camouflage; you can decorate such a cake with a soldier’s helmet or a grenade. Cakes in the shape of military equipment (tank, plane), or a soldier's uniform (overcoat) are perfect.

Party Military

10.01.2016

Do you want to bring your team together and have a good time? Or do you prefer the idea of ​​holding a party in a large company outdoors? Host a military-style party, because such a party is a great option for team building, which is becoming more and more popular both in the West and here. Also, such a party will be interesting when congratulating male colleagues on February 23: it will definitely be remembered for a long time by both those whom and those who are congratulating.

In addition, the military party will be a success not only among the male part of the team, but also among the female part: after all, when else can women afford to wear khaki suits, if not at such events.

Location

If you are holding a military-themed party among your colleagues or friends, then a good place for such a party would be a country house with a large area in front of it, where you can set up a military headquarters. If there is no site, do not despair, because you can use an open or closed veranda as a headquarters. Or, if you remember, in “Peculiarities of the National Hunt” there was a separate gazebo in which “entertainment” events were held, and only sleeping in the house. Therefore, if you do not have a free free cottage or summer house, then you can rent it. And it is not at all necessary that it be with all the amenities: bring the conditions closer to those in the field.

If the option with a cottage, dacha, or tents is not suitable, then you can easily organize a military-style party at home, but be prepared for the fact that your furniture, utensils or decorative elements may suffer losses.

Time spending

The best time to hold a military party for your friends and colleagues is undoubtedly the summer, because it is in this theme that the games played outdoors are the most interesting. But if you decide to organize such a party in winter, then there are also options for competitions and entertainment to hold it indoors (in your apartment, in some restaurant or club).

And in fact, it doesn’t matter exactly when you hold the party, it’s important how exactly you want to entertain your guests and how much material and non-material resources you are willing to spend on entertainment.

Room decoration

Let's think about what exactly we associate with military themes? First of all, it is khaki - the color in which uniforms, tents, and tarpaulins in trucks are painted. Also various maps showing offensive routes and counterattacks. Well, how can you show friends and foes, allies and enemies, types of regiments and directions of attack on the map? Of course, with the help of toy soldiers, tanks, planes and ships. You can mark allies and enemies with the help of small flags, and you can take the flags of both real-life states and invent new ones. Another mandatory element that is often found among the military is a camouflage net, without which no camp is set up, especially if it is in the bosom of the enemy.

Based on the above, it becomes clear that your military party must include camouflage items, a military map, toy soldiers, state flags, and camouflage netting. Hang a camouflage net on the walls, on one wall hang a map showing the grouping of troops, you can stick flags of the states you have invented into it, which will clearly show who is where, in what numbers.

Making such flags is very simple: take regular toothpicks, wrap them at one end with double-sided tape, and glue a piece of paper with a drawn or printed flag onto this tape. In the same way, you can make flags with a white cloth, on which reports on the number of weapons, personnel and type of troops concentrated in this particular defense point will be written.

If the map is on your table, then you can place figures of soldiers, ships, tanks on it to thus show the position of the troops. Also, a map spread on the table can replace a tablecloth, which will fit very well into the theme of a military party.

In addition, balloons in brown, dark green and white colors would be a great decoration for your party, blow them up, tie them in threes and hang them around the entire perimeter of your headquarters.

Table decoration

In addition to the map on the table, an excellent option for decorating a table in a military style would be a dark green tablecloth on which you can lay out black or khaki napkins. A white tablecloth with khaki napkins will also look good, but you need to remember that if you are holding your party in the summer and outside, it is possible that by the end of the evening it will be covered with a thick layer of dust, which is especially visible on white.

In fact, you can even cover your table with a piece of burlap or raw canvas. A military-style party is not an event that claims to be the most sophisticated and sophisticated, but quite the opposite.

You can make seating cards for such a party from tree bark, carving the name or call signs of each guest on them. Or place small toy bombs on the table and attach tags with the names of the guests to the receipt.

But we seem to have forgotten about the invitations... After all, how will guests find out about the organization of such an interesting and exciting event that will allow them to show themselves in all their militant glory?

Military themed party invitations

Party invitations, as well as all the attributes associated with it, should immediately communicate to your guests that the party is taking place in this particular style and nothing else. Therefore, the invitation can be made on khaki paper or, if you do not find such paper, you can print such a coloring on a color printer. It is best, of course, if you use a computer to create a layout for your invitation, in which you can place not only a khaki background, but also, for example, images of military equipment: helicopters, tanks, ships - or images of girls in military uniform. Who likes what more?

Another option for designing an invitation to a military party would be an invitation made on white paper, signed with a black pen or green marker, placed in a kraft paper envelope with a stamp pasted on it and your guest's address written on it.

The most important thing is that the invitation contains information about when, where and what time exactly the training tests of your team begin. Also, be sure to write and highlight in bold that wearing a military suit is mandatory.

Let's return to decorating and setting the table. On the already laid tablecloths of your choice, place khaki-colored disposable paper dishes: plates, cups - or, if you have them, aluminum plates, mugs, spoons, which are used by the military.

If there will be a lot of girls at your party, be sure to put small bouquets of wildflowers on the table. Colorize the harsh everyday life of war!

Selection of military-themed costumes

Military suits are a type of uniform that is perfect for both men and women. This is an excellent option for large companies, because you can choose the uniform of different troops, for example, paratroopers, pilots, artillerymen, tank crews, etc. the uniform is by no means the same. Therefore, you can even pre-assign guests to teams, which will either have members of the same troop type, or each team will have one representative from a different troop.

If you don’t want to bother too much with a military uniform, you can simply purchase or rent a khaki uniform or robe. It can be purchased at specialty stores, flea markets, or even in stores like Hunting and Fishing. But if you only need the uniform for one time, then it is better to rent it.

Remember that a military uniform includes a T-shirt, jacket, pants, cap and shoes: heavy lace-up boots, real ankle boots or tarpaulin boots. Also, do not forget about camouflage coloring of open surfaces of the body: face, hands - especially if you decide to be a sniper, invisible and accurate. If you don’t have special paint, then a “camouflage face” is painted very simply: using gouache paints in black, green, and brown. But don’t forget to lubricate your face with a rich cream first, so that you don’t have to walk around with marks left after a “great military weekend” for another week.

As for women's military costumes, it should be said that women have more room for flight of fancy. After all, the female version of a military suit can look not only strict, militant, but also sexy.

If you are an admirer of strict classical forms, then choose a dark green military suit, consisting of a formal skirt, white shirt, jacket and tie. You can also rent a suit in the style of the Great Patriotic War or stylized as it, which includes a skirt, tunic, cap and leather belt with a Soviet star. However, when choosing a strict version of a military suit, remember that in active military competitions you can only play the role of “radio operator Kat”, because in such suits you won’t really run or crawl.

However, if you know for sure that there are no active competitions expected, then you can choose a less strict, but sexier military suit. The main feature of this suit is the presence of camouflage colors. A sexy military suit must include a dress, high-heeled boots, a cap or a cap: in such a suit you can act as a general or major, or as an ordinary military servant.

Another good option for a military suit is military overalls and suits with shorts. In such an outfit, you will definitely not feel constrained in your movements and will be able to take part in any kind of competitions, especially since this kind of military suit will definitely appeal to the men present at the party, without being too frivolous and frank.

Hair and makeup for a military themed party

This section, in our opinion, is most relevant for girls, because they are the ones who want to remain beautiful in any form, even when they are in military uniform. The simplest and most convenient hairstyle options for this type of event are loose hair, a braided braid, a high ponytail or a bun twisted into a tight knot. Remember that your hair should be collected in such a way that you can easily put a cap or cap on it and not constantly think about how the hat will fall off your head.

As for makeup, variations are possible here: first of all, ordinary natural daytime makeup, in which you will feel comfortable and not be afraid that bright lipstick will smear while performing “military tasks.” In addition, if you have chosen a revealing version of a military suit, you can make brighter accents on your lips and eyes (although this makeup option is also suitable for formal suits, especially if they are in the style of the 50s and 60s). In addition to, so to speak, classical forms of makeup, you can make yourself a camouflage military makeup, in which you will definitely “merge with the terrain” and perfectly play the role of a “soldier of the invisible front.”

Entertainment at a military party

As mentioned above, war games are a great way to unite a team and boost morale. Also, a military-style party will be a great way for you and your friends to let off steam after a hard week of work. We have already discussed the main points of organizing such an event, all that remains is to think through competitions that will test your comrades “for lice” and the ability to quickly and adequately respond in difficult field conditions.

If you are holding a party outdoors, then the best option for testing the endurance, stability and physical fitness of your “fighters” will be an obstacle course. However, its arrangement requires good preliminary preparation.

The essence of the entire obstacle course is that you divide all the participants into 2 teams, and it is desirable that the qualitative composition of the teams be approximately the same: at least the number of women and men in the teams should be the same.

It is important that there MUST be a person near each obstacle who will insure the players performing this or that task.

First obstacle: rope.

Tie a rope to one of the branches on the tree so that one end is well secured below. Attach a bell near the top of the rope. The players' task is to climb up the rope and ring the bell.

Second task: crawl on your bellies

Place plastic wrap on the ground to keep guests' clothes clean. Place several buckets of water around the perimeter and place boards on top of them, or drive in stakes and stretch a rope between them. The distance between the boards or ropes and the ground is approximately 30-40 centimeters, so that an adult can crawl. Players must crawl on their bellies under the rope or board without moving it or catching it.

Third task: minefield

Players run across 6 machine ramps that represent a minefield. Using a stopwatch, the team captain or the backup standing next to him records the result of each player in seconds and writes it down on a special results form.

Task four: keep your balance

Place the stumps at a distance of 50-70 cm from each other (or for greater stability, dig them into the ground). The players' task is to run along the stumps without falling off them. If someone loses their balance and falls to the ground, then their result does not count towards the overall team score and the team loses 1 point.

Fifth task: overnight stay in military conditions

The essence of this task is for one person from the team to temporarily set up a tent, lay out a sleeping bag and go to bed. His time is then taken into account in the team competition.

Sixth task: kirzachi

The essence of this competition is to temporarily polish a soldier's boots to a perfect shine. The winner is the team that completes the task faster and more accurately.

Based on the results of completing all tasks, points are calculated, and the winning team receives a “serious military trophy.”

Military party menu

Considering that the main colors of a military theme are white, green, brown and black, then the main dishes and snacks should be exactly this color. Therefore, your military table should have as many green and fresh vegetables as possible. You can also decorate the snacks in themed colors: for example, make “military tartlets”: spread saltine crackers with a mixture of lettuce and salmon meat. Also, shish kebab is perfect as a main course, which you can serve with various sauces and fresh vegetables.

However, you don’t have to bother with thinking through a special military menu and make it the same as what is usually served to soldiers in the army: barley, pasta with stew, potatoes with meat, pickle. But not all guests, of course, will like such a menu, so you can conduct a survey before the event itself about what kind of food your guests would like to see on the tables.

End of the military evening

The perfect end to the evening in military style will be a fireworks display!
After all, it was fireworks and fireworks that marked the most important and significant events in the military life of the country! comments powered by Disqus

SCENARIO for a military-style birthday

When creating a game scenario for a military-style birthday, first of all answer a few questions:

1. At what time will the main storyline take place: in the WWII era (or another) or in our time. Think about whether you have enough props: what you have, what you can get, what you can do with your own hands. 2. Where the event will take place: outdoors (on the street), indoors, in a cafe or at home. How many people will there be at the birthday party? Having answered, think about the main bias for the game scenario - the less space, the more relaxed the games should be. Or consider an active part outdoors.

If the main part is indoors, then the script should contain more games of an intellectual and entertaining nature: encryption, quizzes, etc.
