Calico wedding competitions. Entertainment for a wedding anniversary - festive competitions

Calico wardrobe

This competition is perfect for a chintz wedding. It's lively, musical, fun and will make for a great photo shoot once it's finished.

Props

A large bag or box, a bright colorful scarf, a baby cap (it can be made from a diaper), a chintz robe, a kitchen apron, a skirt made of chintz strips that are tied to an elastic band, a large chintz bow on a hoop, a large chintz bow tie for the neck.

Important! Items of cotton clothing must be large in size so that both a large man and a petite woman can wear them. In addition, the element should be easy and quick to put on and take off.

Participants

Everyone who came to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary. Their number can be limited only by the number of clothes in the bag/box.

Conditions

Guests stand in a circle and, to the accompaniment of music, pass a bag (box) of clothes from hand to hand. As soon as the music stops, the participant with the bag in his hands must take out any item of clothing and put it on himself. After this, the music plays again, and the guests again pass the “wardrobe” to each other. This continues until the bag runs out of clothes.

Important! If the music stops on a participant who has already put on something, the right to choose clothes is transferred to the next guest standing during the transfer of the “calico wardrobe”.

Prizes

The prize for everyone will be a bright and memorable photo shoot. Guests can take photos of each other, take selfies or pose for a professional photographer.

Body parts

A funny and active competition for a 1 year wedding anniversary. It is somewhat reminiscent of a twister, only the participants touch each other, and not the playing field.

Props

Small pieces of paper with body parts written on them: left hand, right hand, left ear, right ear, nose, forehead, back, head, etc. There should be two paper sets. You will also need two boxes for papers.

Participants

Several male-female couples. The order of participation can be determined by counting or drawing lots.

Conditions

From different boxes, a man and a woman each pull out one piece of paper with inscriptions, read it and try to touch each other with the indicated parts of the body. Without breaking the “contact,” the couple again pulls the pieces of paper and touches in the indicated places. During the competition, you can change your position, lean on a wall or a chair, but you must try to maintain touch with all selected parts of the body. If “contact” is broken or it is impossible to continue the game, the participants are eliminated, and a new pair takes their place. Those partners who managed to touch a large number of body parts win.

Prizes

As a prize, you can give out a medal for the Winner of the Body Parts competition or diplomas for the Most Flexible Guest.

Scenario for a chintz wedding

The chintz wedding is conducted by a host, whom you can choose from your friends or use the services of an agency. He must entertain the guests with remarks, and also monitor the progress of the chintz wedding, which cannot be done without a well-written script. It can be in the form of poetry or prose. Create a script yourself or use our option.

The chintz wedding begins with a monologue by the host. Only guests are present in the hall; spouses must come up after the toastmaster’s speech.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen! We have gathered here for a reason. We have a special occasion - our dear friends (Wife's Name) and (Husband's Name) are celebrating their first year of married life. This is a difficult time for young people, because now the foundation of strong and strong relationships is being laid. But the love of the spouses will conquer everything - we are convinced of this by the example of the heroes of the occasion. Let’s call (Wife’s Name) and (Husband’s Name) here to rejoice with them on this significant date!

A couple comes out, the husband is wearing a calico shirt, and the wife is wearing a calico dress.

Host: Just a year ago she was the bride, and he was the groom. Today we have before us an already formed family, which is growing stronger every day, despite all the quarrels and disagreements. But in order for love to become even stronger, I propose to perform an ancient Russian ritual, symbolizing the strength of the relationship. Spouses, give your other half some cotton scarves! (husband and wife exchange scarves). Tie knots on them.

Husband and wife: How strong these knots are, so strong is our love!

Guests: Bitter!

The spouses kiss each other, after which the guests present them with their gifts. Traditionally, they give printed clothes, diapers for the couple’s unborn child, linen, and tablecloths. All participants sit down at the table, where relatives of the spouses tell them all their wishes and congratulations. The wife's mother (mother-in-law) says the words:

My children! If you only knew how happy my motherly heart is when I look at you! I am glad that I entrusted my beloved daughter to you, (Husband’s name). She is behind you, like behind a stone wall. Although you have only lived together for a short time, a year of marital bliss is an impressive period of time to talk about the strength of your relationship. So let the love never fade away in your couple, it becomes stronger every minute. Bitterly!

After the young couple kisses, a toast will be made by a good friend of the couple, who has followed most of their relationship.

Acquaintance: Dear (Wife's Name), and also (Husband's Name), having known you for a long time, I can say that you are a wonderful couple. I kindly envy you, because you cannot live without each other, like our earth without the sun’s rays. One day, luck smiled, uniting your hearts into one. I believe that you will be faithful to your soulmate until the end of your earthly days. Let's raise our glasses to the love of (Wife's Name), (Husband's Name)!

The guests drink, the next toast sounds. It should be said to the sister of one of the young people or the mother of the groom.

Sister: Marriage is a fragile thing if nothing binds the spouses. If there are connecting threads, then the likelihood that the young will live happily for many years increases. The main support of the spouses even in difficult times is their common child. Let's drink to our newlyweds to please us with the news of the imminent arrival of the first child in the family!

Everyone can say their wishes and congratulations during the feast. After all the guests have had their fill of food and chatted with the newlyweds, the entertainment program for the chintz wedding begins.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen! I guess that you have all had enough of our young people. It's time to start having more active entertainment! I suggest you take part in interesting games, competitions, and take a little break from the feast (you will find recommended competitions in the next section of the article).

At the end of the competitions, the ceremonial part of the evening takes place - the dance of the young people.

Host: What could be more exciting than a beautiful dance between spouses? The young ones are like two wildflowers in a huge field. Let's enjoy this action right now!

After the final dance, the newlyweds and the guests launch sky lanterns. If the weather does not allow this, the chintz wedding should end with a tea party. After this, the celebration of the calico wedding ends.

Scenario “Long live the Cheerful Chintz!”

Part 1

(Words and actions are accompanied by cheerful and then romantic music.)
Presenter: Good afternoon, dear newlyweds and distinguished guests. Today is a really good day, as there is a chintz wedding in (last name)’s family.

This means that our married couple lived in love and understanding for a whole year. This year is called honey year. Now we will check how our (Name of the bride and groom) lived all this time.

Test 1. You have to cover your bed with chintz together. And we'll see how you do it.

To the applause of the guests, the bride and groom “make” the bed. Photo.

Host: Well, it seems you have been involved in this matter often. What mark will we give to our young people? (Addresses guests).

Presenter: Test 2.

And now in front of you are 3 chintz tracks. On them are the words “MATRIARCHY, PATRIARCHY AND EQUALITY.” What road have you been following all this year? (The young people pass. The presenter sums up).

Are you probably tired of walking? Let's take a little break. Let's drink some water. Yes, not a simple one, but a honeyed one, just like the year it was.

(He brings two glasses of water to the young people. They are tied. The task is to drink together until the end). Well done, you have learned a lot this year!

For this we would like to give you a cotton napkin, but not a simple one, but a family one. How many “I”s are there in a family? Seven! This means there should be seven in your family. How many of you are there now? Your names have already been entered, and when your children are born, you will add their names themselves. (Gives).

Host: I see that your relationship is strong, but it needs to become stronger...
In Russia, on the day of their wedding anniversary, the newlyweds tied knots on handkerchiefs and said sentences. Therefore, I ask you to take handkerchiefs and tie knots in the corner. (The leader reads, and the young people repeat)

«Just as the knots we tie are strong, so are our words and deeds strong. So our love will remain strong. Neither the wind will blow it out, nor the sun will dry it out, nor the rain will wash it away. Let's live together happily ever after! »

Today, our dears, you have the opportunity to make seven cherished wishes. Everyone knows that two bottles of champagne are tied together at a wedding. And you can only drink a bottle on your wedding anniversary. That is today.

Here are the new bottles. (two bottles are brought out on a tray: wine and cognac (vodka). As your relationship grows stronger, so do the drinks on your table. Today, as was said, you can make seven wishes.

To do this, you should tie two bottles with these ribbons (lying on the tray). and secure with seven knots. After all, today it is common to do this. When tying the first knot, you look into each other's eyes and mentally make a wish.

Nod your approval and move on to the next node. So seven times.

After every wish and knot tied, the guests applaud. The ceremony is accompanied by romantic music.

Host: Well, dear husband! Take the bottles and put them on the table! Just remember that you can open them when: wine - for the birth of a child, and cognac for the fifth anniversary of your wedding! And you, young wife, invite everyone to your chintz table!

Part 2

A video is shown - the clip “We are already a year old!”

Feast No. 1.

Host: Well, friends, it’s time to fill the glasses at our festive table with champagne, vodka and wine... (glasses are poured) Let’s once again greet our young people and shout to them “Bitterly!” The guests are drinking.

Host: I remind you that today is the chintz wedding of our newlyweds. This means that they lived a whole year in a bright fountain of love. They have prepared gifts for you and are ready to give them to you right now. Each of you will receive the latest issue of the family newspaper. From the hands of the young only to you! (cheerful music sounds. The young people distribute newspapers to everyone present).

Host: Our guests were preparing for your wedding and also came with gifts. (The “giving of gifts” to the young people begins. The guests present gifts to the young people. Afterwards, the host offers to drink for the calico gifts.)

And one more gift that our young people cannot refuse. (The presenter brings in red and blue calico rompers) / this competition is held if the couple does not yet have children /.

Our guests will help determine: who will be born first? While this funny song (for children) is playing, you simply must take part in the so-called “test”. (guests put coins and paper bills in different sliders, the young people count and determine who will be born first).

The competition can be held differently: The wife and husband each have a piece of rope. There are ribbons on the trays (the wife’s is red, the husband’s is blue). Guests tie ribbons on a rope to the music. Whoever has the longest wins!

Musical break. During the break you can play the handkerchief game. Everyone stands in a circle. One of the guests is given a handkerchief. While the music is playing, he places a handkerchief behind one of the dancers and runs around the circle. If the “gift” is not noticed, then the recipient is dancing in a circle. If noticed, he becomes the leader. And so on.

Feast No. 2

Host: Today we will talk again about our young people. Namely, about the head of the family (name). I invite everyone! So, who can tell what he is? (a game is played about who can best characterize her husband or tell some funny incident from life). The winner gets a prize. A toast is being made to your husband! The same goes for the wife.

Wedding anniversary competitions

Entertainment events during the wedding anniversary celebration will allow the spouses and everyone present to remember the sweetest and brightest moments of the wedding day. Original quizzes, table games, and comic competitions will set a good mood and charge all guests with positivity. Dancing and active competitions will prevent a fun celebration from turning into banal gatherings.

Everyone can take part in the game, including the heroes of the occasion. Players sit in a circle and light a match. Then they begin to take turns passing it to each other.

The participant in whose hands the match goes out or burns out completely can ask any question to the hosts of the holiday. Spouses must answer it honestly. If the match goes out in the hands of one of the spouses, then each player can ask any question of interest to the hero of the occasion.

Sample questions

Your favorite dishes. What does the word “Love” mean to you? What makes your family happy? Which countries do you want to visit?

Everyone can participate in the competition. They are divided equally into 2 teams and line up in 2 ranks. Each of them gets a banana.

The first player on each team squeezes the fruit between his knees (or elbows). His task is to pass the banana to the participant standing next to him without using his hands. The second player on the team must accept it with his knees (or elbows) and pass it to the next competitor, and so on, until the last participant has the fruit. If the banana falls, the relay race starts all over again - the fruit returns to the first player. The competition judge monitors the honesty of the participants so that they do not help with their hands.

The team that completes the task faster wins.

Everyone can participate in the competition. They will play the role of a magpie. Participants are divided equally into 2 teams.

Each group receives a regular hair tie. The first member of each team puts it on his nose, which is considered the magpie's tail. The rubber band symbolizes news from the magpie.

The essence of the competition is that the first player, without using his hands, passes the rubber band from his nose to the nose of the second participant, and so on, until the whole team has completed the relay. Cheating is prohibited. The leader controls the participants regarding deviations from the rules of the game.

The team that completes the task faster wins.

The game involves 6 people. To carry it out, you need to prepare cards in advance with the letters that make up the word “love” and put them in a box.

Each participant, in turn, approaches the box and draws any card at random. His task is to come up with as many wishes as possible for the letter that he comes across. For example, the letter “b”: prosperity, wealth, endless love, boundless happiness.

The player who pulls out a card with a soft sign can come up with different wishes. The main thing is that they contain a soft sign. For example: splendor, impeccability, freedom, impeccability, joy, mercy.

The player who names the most wishes wins.

Several married couples are participating in the competition. Each of them receives a thread of a certain length and a needle.

The task of men is to thread the thread into the eye of the needle held by the woman with their left hand (for left-handed people - with their right hand). The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

To make the competition more fun, you can assign each pair a person who is supposedly responsible for the fairness of the game. But the main feature is that each caretaker has a voice recorder in his pocket. At the end of the competition, the main presenter collects all the recorders and tells the audience that he will now provide a sound recording of the first wedding night of each participating couple.

Everyone who wants to congratulate the married couple participates in the game. Each participant receives a piece of paper and a pen. The presenter gives them the task to write 5 adjectives that come to mind first. For example: wonderful, sympathetic, kind, sweet, best.

After this, he gives each participant a sheet of paper with printed text. There are gaps in it. The players’ task is to insert their own adjectives in place of the spaces. The text is given to everyone the same.

Example text

Exactly a year ago, on this... day, we gathered to celebrate this... holiday. Our...married couple tied themselves with the most...marital ties. From the bottom of my heart I would like to wish all the best in the family.

Needle and thread

An interesting competition with a secret that will help you remember your wedding day.

Props

A needle with a small eye, a spool of thread, a voice recorder (a phone with a recording function will do).

Participants

Calico newlyweds.

Conditions

A married couple is called to check how well they have learned to understand each other during the first year of marriage. The wife is given a needle in her hand, and the spouse is given a spool of thread. The husband must thread the thread through the eye of the needle. The game can only be played with your left hand. While the husband is trying to complete the task, the presenter stands as close to the couple as possible, quietly turning on the recorder, and records everything they say. When the thread is threaded through the needle, the presenter says that the couple did an excellent job and gives them a prize. Then he releases the spouses, and he offers to listen to how the first night of the heroes of the occasion after the wedding went, and plays a recording that he made during the competition. Believe me, it will be funny for everyone.

It is good to hold such a raffle competition towards the end of the wedding anniversary celebration, when both the hosts and the guests of the holiday are already relaxed.

Prizes

As a prize, the couple should be awarded “1st wedding anniversary” medals.

Tips for preparing the script

If the newlyweds decide to celebrate a year of marriage in a noisy company of friends, they cannot do without a clear, detailed script. The host should be one of the guests who has experience in conducting such events. The scenario, which describes the entire chintz wedding with its traditions and ancient competitions, should include congratulations to the newlyweds, competitions, competitions, toasts at the table, and presentation of gifts.

Here are some important recommendations:

1. The main moment to be played out should be the date - 1 year, love between spouses.
2. You can hold competitions for tight hugs, tender kisses, and involve guests in competitions.
3. It’s worth finding a photographer from among your friends, a toastmaster, and preparing props and costumes in advance.
4. It is advisable for all those invited to participate in competitions and have fun from the heart.
5. You can celebrate the anniversary of family life in a restaurant, at home, outdoors, it depends on the wishes of the spouses and the weather.
6. It is necessary to decorate the room with chintz fabrics, flags, toys, souvenirs, and cover the tables with tablecloths made of bright chintz.
7. For competitions you should also use scarves, nosepieces, toys, you can hang up appropriate pictures on the wedding theme, reminding that the first year of the wedding is called chintz.

You can make the witnesses leading and repeat the same competitions that were at the wedding. If there are a lot of guests, let everyone offer their favorite game, that will also be fun. The main thing is to prepare small souvenirs for the winners in advance: handkerchiefs, oven mitts, towels, so that everyone will be interested and have fun.

Scenario Components

To adequately celebrate the anniversary, you should consider all stages of the holiday.

The script for a chintz wedding must be thought out to the smallest detail, starting with the meeting of guests and ending with the feast. It should include:

• greeting guests and newlyweds, inviting them to the banquet hall;
• introducing guests if they have not met before;
• announcement of the rules of the celebration;
• seating guests at the festive table;
• toasts, congratulations and wishes to the “young”;
• presentation of presents;
• competitions, games, dances;
• end of the holiday.

If you decide to celebrate the celebration outdoors, competitions and games should be fully consistent with the setting. Now a little more about how to “secure” the status of the spouses (we mean celebrating a chintz wedding with an excellent script) at home and in a restaurant. A chintz wedding does not have to strictly follow the script; there is room for improvisation.

Entertainment program for a wedding anniversary

If you are entrusted with organizing an entertainment program for your wedding anniversary, we will be happy to tell you how to entertain guests and celebrants.

Since husband and wife are always young at heart, it is worth paying attention to such entertainment from which the spouses will not get physically tired, but will be emotionally delighted. After all, a wedding anniversary is a holiday not only for guests, but to a greater extent for the celebrants themselves, and friends should make sure that lovers do not get bored this evening

Memories

In addition to congratulations and gifts, any wedding anniversary should include fun games, competitions and other entertainment. One of the most romantic entertainments for guests and the husband and wife themselves will be a film about how the couple’s relationship developed. Children, grandchildren and friends of the anniversary can create a short video in advance using photos of the couple. You can play up the video with humorous phrases written on each funny photo.

Cartoon

If you have an artist in your company, you can ask him to draw caricatures of the husband and wife. You don’t have to pose for this – a real artist spends the whole evening watching those around him, so he can easily depict a couple on canvas.

You can also ask guests to draw portraits of the lovers - this is quite a fun activity, especially if many of the guests do not have artistic talent. Give the finished drawings to the heroes of the day.

Men bake a cake

If the banquet is held at home, the men's team can give a gift to the women - bake some simple cake and decorate it with a scattering of edible pearls, if it is a pearl wedding, for example. Representatives of the fair sex will be able to laugh heartily at how their gentlemen try to cope with kitchen utensils and learn to understand the purpose of certain products.

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.

The three most popular games for a silver wedding.

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.

Required details

1.

2. Handkerchiefs (handkerchiefs) for young people with embroidered names.

3. Calico runners “MATRIARCHY, PATRIARCHY, EQUALITY”.

A real man (a real woman)

A cool competition suitable for the first wedding anniversary for participants of both sexes and any age.

For the competition you will need a women's handbag and backpack. In the bag you should put curlers, a set of tips, brasmatic, highlighter, green face concealer, lipstick, foundation, powder, comb and other cosmetics. The backpack should contain “male” items - pliers, screwdrivers, a set of bits for a screwdriver, a wobbler, a decoy, an expander, a spool valve, a pressure gauge, etc.

Man-woman couple. Spouses can also participate.

First they call a man and give him a woman's handbag. Within three minutes, he must find in it items from a list consisting of curlers, tips, brasmatic, highlighter and concealer, and then say how to use these things.

A woman receives a similar task, only she will have to find a set in her backpack consisting of pliers, a wobbler, a decoy, a spool valve and a pressure gauge. There are no winners in the competition, because it was designed to entertain guests.

As a thank you for their participation, you can give the couple handmade soap or medals with the inscriptions “Real Man” and “Real Woman.”

Recognize your spouse by design

Since the couple have only been married for a year, they are still in perfect order with their imagination and manifestation of their talents. A task for everyone: at the same time, honestly and without peeking at each other, all the guests and the “newlyweds” themselves draw their own designer item (men - a dress for the woman, and women - a T-shirt or shirt for the man). Then the presenter collects all the drawings and distributes them into two piles (a pile of dresses and a pile of shirts). All drawings are mounted on the wall (easel), and the “newlyweds” must recognize the drawing of their other half from the presented paintings. If you guess correctly, get a prize, but if you don’t, make your guests’ wishes come true.

Gorgeous wedding

You can say the following words to the host-toastmaster: the bride and groom have already received their gifts from you, and now they want to give you the prepared souvenirs. The principle of the game is this: prepare paper bags in advance, which should be made from sheets of paper (but not necessarily). On each bag, write all the letters that appear in the word “wedding.” This way you will have 7 packages. Place a gift in each of them. Hang them up so that the word wedding appears. The name of the gift must match the letter written on the package. For example, in a bag with the letter “C” you can put a saber or a jump rope. In order for the guests not to get tired of playing, you can come up with tips that could be something like this: this is a decoration for girls if there are earrings or beads in the package, but this is what men had in ancient times (saber), etc. In a bag with the letter “B” you can put a fork or a bucket, of course, a toy one. For the letter “A” prepare an apricot or a toy car. Place a pipe in the bag with the letter “D”, and a brooch with the letter “B”. Unfortunately, the words don’t start on the soft sign, but you need to put something in the bag. There is also a way out of this situation. Place a soft toy or any soft thing there.

Selection of competitions

Entertaining and cool competitions will be most appropriate when those present have eaten, drunk and are bored. At this time, the leader needs to take the initiative into her own hands. Also, a situation often arises when participants in one competition are eager to fight for the next one. You shouldn’t prohibit them, but you need to correctly make it clear that there are still many guests and there are probably those who want to show themselves.

Everything is important in moderation; you should not oversaturate the scenario with competitions, since a wedding anniversary is not a competitive competition, but a solemn event.

When creating a script for a competition program for a wedding anniversary, many points should be taken into account, but if everything is done correctly, the celebration will be fun and unforgettable.

What could be a wedding anniversary scenario?

If the toastmaster is not there for the anniversary, the husband and wife can come up with competitions and entertainment themselves, for example, arrange dance competitions between couples in love or hold competitions in which relatives will answer questions about their family. Also, the option of celebrating an anniversary together involves a romantic evening, a night in a hotel or a week of relaxation in warm countries. In this case, only young people decide everything, focusing on their tastes.

The dates 10 years and 15 years from the wedding date are a little similar. Each of these dates is very important for a married couple, since not every family manages to live together for so many years in love and prosperity. The tenth wedding anniversary is called pink or tin, which means that gifts can be very different. In this case, the wedding should be decorated in pink tones; the emphasis can be placed on flowers and materials for decorating tables and chairs.

The first round anniversary must be celebrated magnificently, as it is very important for the family, for their relationships and love

Therefore, many psychologists advise inviting friends, relatives and colleagues to celebrate such an important event. The bride can wear a pink dress on this day, and the groom can wear light shirts, which can be combined with a light suit

You can come up with cool competitions and entertainment as a scenario. You can come up with separate competitions for children so that they can have fun too.

The fifteenth wedding anniversary is called crystal or glass. On this day, it is customary for married couples to give crystal or glass items. Since the material is very fragile, this means that the happiness of the young is also very fragile, so it must be protected. In competitions, you can focus on the long family life of the couple, on wishes of happiness, success and love. If there are children, the couple can wish for one or more children, and as a competition, come up with a lottery in which the family will find out who will be born next - a boy or a girl.

Competitions with questions

There are an extraordinary variety of them.

Option 1. Game 20 years later

Its participants should be the parents of the young people. The presenter asks one of them to leave the hall for a while. The remaining husband or wife is asked several questions. The most common ones are:

It’s better not to ask more than 5 questions.

After one of the spouses has answered, you should call the second and ask him the same questions. If the answers do not coincide, then you can simply propose a toast to the joyful event, thanks to which today their children are celebrating their wedding anniversary. If all the answers are the same, then in such a situation, a toast may be to ensure that today’s heroes of the occasion do not forget their wedding event twenty years later, like their parents.

Option #2. Truth or lie

Since the celebration is a wedding anniversary, the topic of the questions will concern the traditions of this event.

The whole hall participates, and the prize in this competition is making a toast to the heroes of the occasion, or you can prepare small souvenirs.

The competition ends when those present lose interest. It should end with a question: In Russia, it is customary to make toasts in honor of the heroes of the occasion. Of course it's true, so let's raise our glasses.

Option 3. A game called “Welcome”

Several drivers are selected. Pieces of paper or cards with the names of various places are attached to their backs. For example, the following:

It is important that the more interesting the place is invented, the funnier the competition will be.

The person who drives should not see the personal sheet, but the rest of the participants should read the name.

The drivers virtually go to the place they got, and the rest of the competition participants begin asking them questions. The former must answer them with all revelation and creativity.

Dinner by candlelight, with a bottle of wine and light snacks, exchange of words of love and lovely gifts - such a romantic atmosphere strengthens relationships

Holiday attributes can be: a beautiful snow-white tablecloth, paper napkins, garlands and lanterns.

How the two of you can celebrate 2 years of marriage after the wedding can be discussed in advance, or you can surprise your soulmate by first decorating the room, setting the table and preparing a romantic dinner.

Romantic dinner for two

Psychologists advise those who have a small child and who want to share the joy with their closest and dearest people - their parents, to spend their second paper wedding anniversary in the family circle. A nice family dinner, a leisurely conversation at the table can turn into a tradition of gathering with a narrow circle of the closest people, which today is of particular value, because in the whirlwind of everyday life, relatives do not have time to meet at the family table. To meet your family, you can prepare a multi-course lunch or dinner, buy a bottle of good wine, stock up on dessert, and the success of the event is guaranteed.

A married couple can invite relatives and friends to visit, and then the celebration will be more magnificent and festive.

You need to carefully consider how to celebrate the second paper wedding anniversary, how to decorate the interior and make the event not boring. You can pre-send creative invitations to guests, which are best done with your own hand, writing the original text in verse.

Near each cutlery you can put small paper cards on which guests will write down their wishes and congratulations. Then, from these cards, build a symbolic tree of wishes, which will stand in a prominent place and remain as a keepsake for the couple.

You can prepare a photo zone in advance, where guests, along with the heroes of the occasion, can take photos for the family album

Here you can place: paper doves or cranes, lanterns, butterflies, garlands of cardboard flags, hearts, flowers. On the press wall, place an inscription about the date of the event and the names of the newlyweds or wedding photographs.

Universal competitions

There are many competitive wedding anniversary events that may be suitable for other celebrations as well.

Option 1. Poems by subject

Three couples become participants in the competition. Each receives a bag with various items. The goal is to compose congratulations in verse for the heroes of the occasion using these words.

Option 2. History of how young people met by subject

This is, in fact, an echo of the previous competition, only in this case the participants are witnesses. They are not chosen by chance, since they are the best informed about the life of the newlyweds and will be able to tell the story of their acquaintance. Participants in the competition receive a variety of interesting objects that must be involved in the story.

Option 3. Song of your own composition

The goal of this competition is to write a beautiful rhyme based on the names of the objects given by the presenter and perform it in the form of a song. Participants can be relatives and friends. According to the presenter's idea, the cat or hamster should run away, thus creating humor in the song.

Celebrating at home

Celebrating at home automatically places additional responsibilities on you: you will have to come up with competitions and entertainment yourself. But competitions should not be too much; there is no need to prepare too many of them. Hold a quiz during which you ask guests all sorts of questions about your wedding that took place a year ago. Come up with active games - they will amuse the company.

Include a chintz photo shoot in your entertainment. This type of photography is suitable for celebrating at home, in a restaurant or outdoors.

As you can see, there are many good ideas for celebrating. You can develop a script yourself, using only some of the points discussed above as a basis. When the anniversary, or rather its celebration, comes to an end, launch fireworks or Chinese sky lanterns. There should be as many lanterns as there are guests you invited - then everyone can launch them, believe me, everyone will like this idea. And what could be more touching and beautiful than such a finale to the holiday?

We wish you to celebrate the first year of married life with your closest people, get a lot of pleasure from the holiday and look at the photographs taken on this day on your golden anniversary!

Holiday with toastmaster

In order for the anniversary to go off with a bang and you can celebrate the holiday well and emotionally, without turning it into a simple feast, you should carefully think through the scenario of a chintz wedding and include competitions and sweepstakes in it. If you are celebrating in a cafe or restaurant and your budget allows, invite the toastmaster to entertain the guests, this person’s competitions are always fun and mischievous!

By the way, you can contact an old acquaintance - the person who was the host at your wedding. Just warn us right away: competitions should not be repeated!

It is also desirable that the script be as adapted as possible to the theme of your holiday - the status of the celebration corresponds to the theme, then the evening will be a success and will be remembered for a long time! You can take part in creating such a scenario yourself. The following development of events can be taken as a basis.

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, 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.

Inviting specialists to host the event

To celebrate a chintz wedding brightly and interestingly, you can hire professional hosts. They know exactly what competitions should be held after a year of marriage, and how to entertain those present. A photographer who knows how to use equipment will take excellent quality photographs in which everything will look like pictures. By agreement, the toastmaster can even provide clothes for the spouses, decorate the hall, and give advice on creating a menu.

Bright staged photographs in the hall or outdoors will decorate a family photo album. Your wedding year is a very important event, and you can hire specialists for a fairly small amount of money. If you know a professional photographer, florist or anniversary host, you should negotiate with him for a reasonable fee. An anniversary video, pictures in a magazine, photos on the walls of a room - all this can only be done by experienced professionals.

Tongue Twisters

An interesting and fun competition. You can watch the video to see how to do it:

A fun and active competition that will bring joy to the audience.

Calico table runners (optional), liquor bottles or skittles, several thick blindfolds.

Everyone of both sexes. Guests invited to the 1st wedding anniversary are divided into male-female pairs.

Partners are placed at a distance of several (ideally 5-6) meters opposite each other. Paths are laid between a man and a woman, on which 2-3 bottles of alcoholic drinks or skittles are placed. Men act as sappers who must walk blindfolded through a minefield to their partner and avoid stumbling upon bottle mines. The highlight of the competition lies in the fact that after putting on the blindfolds, the presenter quietly removes the bottles from the path and gives the start to the “sapper” movement.

All participants receive prizes - they are given diplomas for successfully passing the minefield.

There are a lot of ideas for competitions for a 1-year wedding anniversary, but few interesting ones. We hope that the options that we have selected for you will allow you to have an unforgettable and fun holiday.

Competitions for the second wedding day or wedding anniversary.

Of course, the second wedding day or the anniversary of the wedding is usually not prepared as carefully as the wedding day itself. However, these days are no less important and are designed to remind and consolidate the most pleasant impressions of the wedding. After all, now a much narrower circle of close friends and relatives is invited. This means that their entertainment should, perhaps, not be very large-scale, but certainly carefully thought out and fun.

What would be fun without games and exciting competitions? Here are some easy ways to entertain your guests.

Princesses

It is believed that princesses have not been found in our area for a long time. However, there is a legend that they are simply hiding under the guise of ordinary women. There is a simple way to determine whether a lady has “blue blood”.

Props

In the fairy tale scenario, feather beds and peas were used. For the wedding anniversary competition, we will need 5 stools, 5 thin pillows that are placed on the stools (they can be replaced with terry towels folded in half) and small items. For example, walnuts, lollipop candies, large buttons, plastic bottle caps, chestnuts, plastic Kinder Surprise eggs, etc.

Participants

Female guests. The order of participation can be determined by counting or drawing lots.

Conditions

For this 1 year wedding competition, you need to choose 5 participants, arrange 5 chairs, and place pillows on them. Place small objects discreetly under the pillows - you can put one, several (identical) or nothing at all. After this, seat the guests on chairs so that they can feel whether there are “peas” under their “feather bed”, name their number and the objects that lie under the pillow. The results will show whether there are princesses among the invited ladies.

Prizes

Toy crowns can be awarded to the winners as a prize.

Festive table decoration

A chintz wedding is characterized by simplicity and modesty. Don’t go to great lengths to prepare a large list of dishes, just make a few healthy ones.

• Salads, fresh vegetables and fruits, beautiful cuts and original presentation - all this will definitely be remembered by your guests;
• Canapés are a practical and satisfying snack;
• Drinks: champagne, wine and cold freshly squeezed juices;
• An unusual cake with inscriptions and figures, ordered or baked at home;
• Cakes, sweets and lollipops.

Festive table setting for 1st wedding anniversary

If you are worried that your guests will remain hungry, order, for example, country-style meat and potatoes or any other hearty dish. Place your photos and some cute little things on the holiday table.

Unusual options

Surprising a child means leaving a mark in his memory for a long time. Original competitions for children at a wedding will make kids remember the celebration they attended with admiration and delight.

1. "Wedding Balls" Children are divided into two teams. Each team is given several deflated balloons, in which pieces of paper with tasks were previously inserted. One player from both teams is called up. Children inflate balloons. Whose balloon bursts first announces the task to the opponents.
2. "Ariadne's Thread" Each participant is given a ribbon. The baby’s task is to wind it into a ball and find the prize. It is more interesting to play the game outside, then the ribbon can be passed through tree branches and other obstacles.
3. "Cabbage". Children stand in a circle. They are given a small gift, wrapped in several layers of paper. The “cabbage” begins to walk in a circle, and each child can remove only one leaf from it. The prize goes to the one who removes the last piece of paper. In order for all the children to receive prizes, the winners need to be turned into active fans, adding pace and excitement to the game.
4. "Wonder Beast" The presenter asks the children questions about non-existent animals, for example: “Who is a telebison?” or “Where does Stovirat live?”, and players must answer them in detail. Winners can be identified in several categories.
5. "Find the treasure." This game is best played outdoors. All children are united into one team, which will have to go in search of treasures. The guys are given the first note, which indicates where to look for the next one. The last of the notes says the place where the treasure lies (sweets and gifts).
6. Competition for children at a wedding “Bring me...”. Children are divided into two teams. The presenter calls one player from each team and asks them to bring him an item, for example, red lipstick. A point is awarded to the team whose player was the first to bring the required item. The team whose players score the most points wins.

The competition for children at the wedding in the video below turned out to be very fun:
