  9. How much time does the chosen one spend in front of the mirror a day?
  10. What three words can describe your future spouse?

The competition ends only after the groom has answered all the questions or purchased the correct answer. It’s better not to name the specific cost of the answers, but to say, for example, how much you don’t mind or how much your heart desires.

Tradition of ransom

The custom of ransoming the bride before the wedding has its roots in the distant past. At that time, by giving their daughter away in marriage, the family lost an additional working unit and demanded compensation for this. The ritual has survived to this day in a slightly modified form. So, if previously the ransom involved the donation of some material assets, such as money, livestock, expensive fabric and household items, today everything comes down to comic tests for the groom, a huge number of funny competitions and tricky questions.

The bridesmaids are usually involved in preparing the ransom. They know the newlywed very well and therefore try to ask the groom as many questions as possible. In this way, relatives can make sure how well the future spouse has managed to get to know his betrothed and whether they are placing her in good hands.

And again, like the first time

This competition will allow you to refresh your memory and remember everything connected with the first meeting of our couple, and at the same time check who has the better memory, your spouse. The host asks questions, to which both husband and wife simultaneously write answers on their pieces of paper, for example, the time of year you first met, what the weather was like, what the most popular song was, the time of day, what they were wearing, what their hairstyles were, and so on. . Then we compare the answers and see how many matches there are, and find out who remembers the first meeting better. And at the end, the husband can make a beautiful speech about how his wife is still just as beautiful and wonderful, and give her a wonderful bouquet of flowers or some kind of gift.

Calico wedding script

A calico wedding is the anniversary that is celebrated after the first year of married life. Family psychologists unanimously recognize this period of time as one of the most difficult in a couple’s relationship. It is recommended to celebrate this date cheerfully so that spouses can forget about daily hassles. How to organize a chintz wedding celebration?

All the organs and body parts that I love

Each of the guests must sing at least a line from any song that he remembers and in which there will be a mention of any organ or any part of the body that our “young people” love so much in each other, for example, “Sponges in a bow, eyebrows in a house,” “My heart stopped, my heart froze”, “Well, where are your hands, well, where are your hands”, “For your wasp waist, for your brown eyes”, “Her eyes are two diamonds, three carats” and so on . The guest who sings the most songs, or rather, pronounces more body parts or organs from the songs, will win and receive a prize.

Preparing for the celebration

To ensure that your chintz wedding goes off with a bang, treat the preparation process with due attention. Find a suitable room, decorate it, and then select musical accompaniment. Find or create your own script for a chintz wedding - prepared in advance, it will help to avoid force majeure circumstances. And the cool competitions that will be present in the script will amuse all the guests at the chintz wedding.

Decoration of the celebration venue

Chintz is a symbol of the first anniversary; stock up on light chintz curtains, tablecloths, and napkins. Modern textile stores offer a variety of chintz products made in a festive style. The overall color scheme should be white or other pastel shades, so you should choose light chintz decorative elements. There are many rituals associated with calico fabric, so purchase several pieces of calico in reserve.

Place pots or floor vases with green flowers around the room. Greenery symbolizes the relationship between the young. Tie containers for flowers with chintz multi-colored ribbons.

To decorate a chintz wedding at the highest level, watch this good video example that clearly demonstrates how to decorate a holiday:

Warn your guests about the celebration of a chintz wedding, and about the appropriate clothing. Inform invited guests that calico attire is encouraged. The guests themselves choose what they will be, bright or modest.

Musical accompaniment for the anniversary

During the chintz wedding, various musical compositions by domestic performers will be used. So, at the beginning of a chintz wedding, it is necessary to include the well-known “Oh, the box is full, the box is full.” When the newlyweds enter the hall, Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" sounds. Such pleasant songs should sound throughout the evening, then the guests will feel relaxed throughout the wedding and be willing to participate in competitions.

Compatibility

Married couples participate, including the couple in whose honor the holiday is celebrated. Men sit at one side of the table, and women sit on the opposite side; no peeking is allowed. Each participant receives the same task sheet, in which they will need to make their choice and circle the option they like. Small pictures will be placed on the sheet in a numbered row, for example, 1 - drinks (tea, coffee, orange juice, milk, and so on); 2 - fruits (kiwi, banana, pineapple, apple, etc.); 3 - countries (China, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, and so on); 4 - dish (kebab, fish, vegetable salad, sushi, etc.). The list can be extended to include colors, flowers, films, and car brands. Men and women make their choice in each line, and then check the compatibility of the couples. The couple with the most matches will win a prize.

Vocal and dance competitions

Music plays a major role here.

Option 1. Song according to words

Several pairs are selected, each of them is given a set of words. They must compose a cheerful and funny song about the heroes of the occasion. Whose performance will be more fun and interesting, that couple will win. All those present act as the jury.

Option 2. Traditional dance competition on a newspaper

This competition is quite cool and is often included in the script developed for a wedding anniversary. Three couples participate. Each person is given a newspaper. Couples should dance on it when the music ends; the newspaper is folded first in half, then in four, and so on. The couple that steps outside the newspaper is eliminated. The winners are those who survive the longest and do not step outside the newspaper. The secret of the competition is that the guy can take the girl in his arms, but this still needs to be guessed. Another trick is that a representative of the stronger sex can stand on one leg with a miniature lady and dance.

Option 3. Hugging dances

5 ladies and 6 guys are participating in this competition. The girls stand in a single circle and join hands. While the music is playing, they move clockwise. Representatives of the stronger sex stand in a larger circle behind the ladies and move in the opposite direction. As soon as the music stops, you need to quickly hug the guy standing behind you. One of the guys will be left without a partner, he drops out of the competition and takes any girl with him. At the end of the competition the winner is determined.

Nickel wedding - how many years and what to give

Men are always children

A couple of “young” and willing couples of guests participate. All women claim that men are eternal children. So let's see how women manage their “grown-up” and bearded children. Each woman in a couple receives, in addition to her man, a diaper (adult), a bottle with a pacifier (with the same content, for example, juice). At the command “start”, women begin to put on a diaper for their “baby”, then feed him with a bottle and sing bayushki-bai. The couple in which the woman can cope with the child faster, and the child will be in diapers and full (will drink everything to the dregs), close his eyes and fall asleep to a lullaby, will win.

And then the wedding will become the best gift for the newlyweds and a great holiday for the guests

Determining the stronger sex

The “young” couple participates first, followed by all other willing couples. Both he and she are given a shirt with the same number of buttons (you can take old shirts so that you can sew them on, or vice versa - tear off the extra button). Women's buttons will be buttoned, and men's buttons will be undone. The pair's participants are blindfolded. At the “start” command, the couple begins to act: the woman buttons her man’s shirt, and the man unbuttons his woman’s shirt. Whoever did his job faster won. After all couples have participated, the results are summed up and the stronger sex is determined: women or men. And the prize depends on the winner: groups of women - a bottle of champagne and a chocolate bar, and men - beer or a bouquet of crayfish.

To silver

25 years of marriage is a significant date, and it makes sense to organize a magnificent, bright celebration in its honor . If funds allow, it is worth organizing a celebration on a grand scale, and handing out silver souvenirs to guests for participating in competitions.

Most likely, at such an anniversary there will be guests of all ages: older family members, youth and children. For the last group, you can organize mobile competitions. Children will be happy to sing, dance, and read poetry - as long as they have the opportunity to be the center of attention. In this group of guests, you should not choose winners; it is better to praise everyone equally.


It is better to organize intellectual competitions for the immediate heroes of the occasion and their peers. You can choose more active competition tasks - it all depends on personal preferences. The main thing is that the entertainment program corresponds to the age of the majority of guests, is decent and not vulgar.

Important! And don’t forget about a sense of proportion. There is no need to oversaturate the program with competitions: after all, an anniversary is not a competitive day, but a solemn event.

The three most popular games for a silver wedding.

Burime

Everyone is given sheets of paper on which identical paired rhymes are written. Spouses and guests should come up with a short poem from them. The one who can amaze with his creativity will win.

Battle of the Epigrams

Participants take turns exchanging satirical short poems, making them up as they go. Those who could not instantly find a worthy answer are eliminated from the game, and so on until a winner is identified.

Dating history

Usually former witnesses participate in this competition , since they know the spouses best. The presenter gives the competition participants a variety of items that must be included in the narrative of the love story.

Prohibited!

Before drawing up a holiday script and selecting wedding competitions, you must definitely find out the prohibited topics for those present .

For example, if you decide to hold a drinking competition, you should not attract those who have problems with alcohol. Of course, you should not touch on sensitive topics such as politics or religion, or joke about national characteristics. The presenter must be extremely correct in his statements.

in advance who is not very well disposed towards whom , so as not to seat them next to each other, not to unite them in one team - in general, to avoid possible conflicts.

When thinking through the list of competitions, try to avoid vulgar tasks if you doubt that your guests will like them. And always keep a couple of options in reserve , because rarely does a scenario come true one hundred percent.

Labyrinth

  • Props: chairs, shoes, improvised items.
  • Participants: four people.

The competition requires a large empty space. It is filled with chairs and other objects to create a maze that the participants must navigate through. But those are given no more than 60 seconds to remember the location of the moves, then they are blindfolded and launched into the maze. The task is to find a way out of it from memory, carefully and carefully. Within the framework of the competition, outside help is allowed - safety net.

Table entertainment options

A pearl wedding is a solemn event. Such an anniversary cannot be ignored. Close friends and relatives are invited to the thirtieth anniversary of marriage. Usually the celebration is held in a cafe or restaurant. To make the pearl wedding memorable, they prepare a celebration scenario with interesting games and competitions. Often, to celebrate an anniversary, they hire a host or toastmaster. Here are some examples of fun activities.

"KVN: come up with an ending to the joke"

This competition is held at the festive table. It does not require physical activity. The host of the holiday invites everyone to participate in KVN. To do this, jokes prepared in advance are read out, but without ending. Guests must come up with the continuation of funny stories themselves. The success of such a game depends on the ingenuity and sense of humor of the host and participants.

Examples of unfinished jokes:

  1. How to make your husband go crazy in bed?... (Turn off the football, take away the remote control).
  2. The wedding was postponed because the groom?... (Run out of money, not enough to buy the bride).

"The Missing Ingredients"

To conduct such a competition, basic knowledge of cooking is required. Guests are given recipes for simple dishes. They skip different ingredients. The first one to identify the missing components receives an incentive prize. The main thing for this competition is not to imagine complex dishes. Not everyone knows how to cook, so cutlets, borscht or soups are suitable for the game.

"Celebrity Couples"

When holding this competition, the host of the celebration invites guests to remember famous, famous married couples. Both real and fictional characters are suitable. The competition is held until the last pair is named. It is advisable to remember the people who remained in history thanks to their love and loyalty to each other. Romeo and Juliet, Eurydice and Orpheus, Ruslan and Lyudmila are suitable. The heroes of the occasion are also named.

Presenter selection

In place of the toastmaster, it is better to look for a witness or one of your friends, distinguished by organizational skills, the ability to speak clearly and with enthusiasm.

Interview those you consider suitable for the role of presenter, and
choose the one who will respond most enthusiastically to the proposal . Still, most guests plan to relax at the wedding, rather than entertain everyone around them, and the host should be the one who traditionally becomes the life of the party at every event.
