ᐉ Bride ransom ready with speech. Cool competitions for bride price in verse. Competitions for the groom and witnesses

Interesting and funny bride price - script in verse with competitions

In order for the competitions to be coherent, the organizers come up with verbal accompaniment for them, which also brings funny moments to the bride price.
A script in verse allows you to turn an event into an interesting mini-performance. And even if the girl’s friends do not have a passion for poetry, they can use ready-made texts. It’s interesting that just a few years ago, at every wedding, a bride ransom was held, with the same competitions, which gradually became boring and uninteresting. After this, many couples abandoned this tradition, but now it is being revived again, as interesting scenarios have begun to be invented.

How to prepare a script

The ransom script must be written in advance, and all details must be approached responsibly. The ransom should be fun, easy, funny, and involve as many people as possible. After all, this is part of the holiday. The scenarios may be different, perhaps simply with competitions that are not related to each other, or this action is based on some story, film or fairy tale. In any case, all tasks should have a common theme, and in this case poetry comes to the rescue. Ransom in poetic form diversifies the standard form of competitions.

If you are not deprived of creativity, then you can come up with everything yourself or look for ready-made options. In the latter case, do not forget to change the script in accordance with the theme of the holiday, so that both the words and the tasks have a personal touch, a little serious, a little funny, because this is a holiday. It is not at all necessary to hold a poetry duel and write out the entire scenario in poetic form; short quatrains between competitions will be appropriate.

The role of wedding traditions

Even when the culture of each nation was just emerging, there was already a place for weddings in it. Since ancient times, this has been one of the most significant events in the life of an adult, so it used to be clothed with many signs, superstitions and traditions. People experienced in such matters tried to help young lovers conduct their wedding in such a way as to please higher powers.

It was believed that if the gods and dead ancestors liked the marriage, they would protect the newly-made spouses and attract prosperity and well-being into their lives. To achieve this, traditions that were developed over years and even centuries in accordance with folk wisdom and religious beliefs were strictly observed.

Now such traditions are just touching rituals that are usually performed at a classic wedding. Nobody invests sacred meaning in observing old customs, since other priorities have appeared. Despite this, the framework of any wedding consists precisely of traditions, both old and new.

What does the ritual of returning a beloved symbolize?

It so happened that among the Slavic peoples it was not customary to let daughters leave the family just like that. At a minimum, the groom had to prove his strength and courage, but most often this was not limited to this. A bride price was taken from a young man who decided to get married, since with her departure from her father’s house the family would lose a housekeeper.

Depending on the circumstances of the matchmaking, as well as the personal qualities of the girl, compensation to her parents could be different. Most often it was still money, but sometimes the groom persuaded the potential mother-in-law and father-in-law to pay off with expensive gifts - livestock, tools to make housework easier, etc.

Now bride price is just a formal name. In fact, the event is a comic test for the groom, during which he shows ingenuity and dexterity. If he fails to cope with some task, he pays the organizers a symbolic amount. There is no longer any question of paying her parents for the bride.

Street

Puzzle “Heart” The groom and his friends are greeted by the bridesmaids. The witness explains to the groom that the latter should take the ransom seriously and not skimp when it is necessary to give money, because since ancient times it was believed that the richer the ransom, the richer the life of the young people after the wedding.

In order for his girlfriends to give him his beloved, he must piece together one heart. (The day before, the girlfriends cut out a red heart from cardboard and cut it into puzzles. The number of puzzles corresponds to the number of prepared obstacle competitions for the groom. It is better to make 7 of them, since the number seven also symbolizes family, and on the day of its creation this is more than appropriate For each failed competition, the groom must redeem the puzzle, otherwise he will not collect the whole heart and will not receive the bride.)

Serenade The groom, with the help of friends, must perform a serenade under the bride's balcony.

Option 1: to do this, he must buy from his girlfriends the tools they had prepared in advance: two pan lids, wooden spoons, a tambourine, a guitar/balalaika, wooden clothespins on a rope (like a ratchet), a saw, etc. (depending on your imagination and the abilities of the groom and his friends). After the instruments have been purchased, the groom chooses a song and performs it to the accompaniment of friends.

Option 2: the bride thinks in advance which song she wants to hear performed by him. It should be a song that he knows well and generally sings well. The girlfriends say that the bride wants to hear this song from him, and to make his task easier, she has prepared musical accompaniment. He can buy a tape recorder (any boombox with batteries) that contains a cassette with a melody. The delighted groom buys the tape recorder, he is even given the words of the song (in case he suddenly forgets) and he prepares to publish the first words when it turns out that he must sing this song to a different melody (for example, “a Christmas tree was born in the forest” or “rubbing their backs”) bears”, etc.) Practice shows that it is almost impossible to sing one song to the tune of another. It turns out to be sooooooo much fun!

Heart Assignment: depict the beauty of your love under the bride’s windows.

(it is assumed that the groom will draw a heart or write her name or or or... whatever his imagination and love is enough for. Materials at hand that he can buy: red rose petals, an armful of mimosa, a can of spray paint, firecrackers, balloons, etc. ( all this should be prepared in large quantities by girlfriends.Here we can once again emphasize that skimping is not allowed.

Comic praise of the groom This is where friends must prove themselves. To get the third puzzle, they must not mince words and list all the advantages of the groom. You can point out to your girlfriends that the better they praise him, the greater his chances of success, because their bride doesn’t need “just anyone,” but only the very best. With a competent approach, friends should start vying with each other to list its advantages. The girlfriends need to patiently listen to everything to the end, and then say: “Great, just so that we understand that all this is true, we’ll have to repeat it all again. But: this time everyone will have 3-5 (depending on the compassion of their girlfriends) Chupa Chups candies in their mouths.

Unpredictable dance The groom is invited to perform a dance to the music. The groom's friends can also take part in the test. The catch of the task is that the melodies change every 15 seconds. At the same time, the more diverse melodies you select, the more difficult it will be for the groom to adapt to them.

Labyrinth A labyrinth is drawn on a large Whatman paper or on the asphalt near the house, the main thing is to make it not complicated; at the end of the labyrinth, instead of the word finish, the name of the bride is written. You can decorate the road with trees, houses, draw various signs, the main thing is to make it elegant. The groom is given a remote control for a car and asked to drive it through the maze. The main task of the groom is to do this as safely as possible. Based on the results of the competition, the bridesmaids issue him fines and, after payment, are allowed to see the bride. To make things even more interesting, you can issue an impromptu license for passenger transportation of your wife.

Two grooms The groom's car drives up to the house, all the cheerful happy people get out and go to the bridesmaids who are standing at the entrance. A conversation begins, an exchange of pleasantries and at this moment... another motorcade arrives, from which another groom emerges, in a military uniform or a sailor's uniform, and approaches the bridesmaids for ransom. The witness asks him questions: where and to whom he came, what is the name of his bride, when the groom pronounces the same name of his beloved, a skirmish begins between the real groom and the fake one. To resolve the conflict, the witness asks both grooms questions about the bride; whoever answers correctly is the groom. A real young man answers all questions correctly, but the second one sometimes makes mistakes. When things come to a head, the impostor picks up the phone and calls his fiancee to find out what's going on. Then he turns around and loudly notifies everyone that he is in the wrong house and this is not the place for him, apologizes and leaves. The ransom continues.

Declaration of love

The groom at the entrance shouts “I love you”
The groom shouts “I love you” in 5 languages ( If he doesn’t know, he buys from the witness pieces of paper with declarations of love written in a foreign language )
Declaration of love over intercom

Heroic power The origins of this bride ransom test go back to the deep past. Previously, the groom's path to his betrothed's house was blocked by a log placed on special trestles, which he had to cut down. Now the “heroic power” of a young man can be experienced in various ways.

For example: - ask him to hammer a nail with one blow; - lift dumbbells or weights several times; - do push-ups from the floor; - pick up a witness; - break a thin thread or rope; - jump on one leg; - squat several times on one leg; - tell what kind of sports he was involved in; - ask for a promise to carry your wife in your arms for the rest of your life; - pick up your mother-in-law. During this test, jokes pour in: “Look, the groom took a hammer in his hands for the first time,” “Oh, it’s hard for him, it’s hard,” “Well done to the groom!”, Wow, what a strong man, he hammered a nail with one blow!” , “He will be a good husband!” If the groom refuses to complete any task or simply cannot cope with it, his friends help him. And if they refuse or fail to complete the task, then a ransom is charged.

“Monster Balls” In front of the entrance to the entrance there are balloons, inside of which there are notes with the reasons for getting married. You can move to the next level only by defeating all the monster balls and getting to the real reason for marriage, i.e. mutual love and the desire to start a family. To fight the monster balls, the groom is given three darts, which must be thrown at the balls.

What topics can you choose?

If the bride's friends and relatives choose thematic funny bride price scenarios in verse, you should pay attention to the fairy-tale style. There are both foreign stories about princesses languishing in the dragon tower and brave princes, and Russian folk tales about a wise or beautiful maiden and a prince who loves her. The role of the villain can be played by a dragon or an evil witch, the Serpent Gorynych or Baba Yaga, respectively.

Another good solution is a bride price in verse in the style of a gypsy camp. The bridesmaids explain to the groom that in order to marry the most beautiful girl in the camp, you need to work hard, and they arrange tricky tasks for him. All this is accompanied by poems, songs and dances.

Organizing an interesting bride price in verse is not so difficult, and for many it is a more convenient option than accompanying competitions in your own words. The tests for the groom do not drag on, the rhymed expressions sound beautiful and concise, and everyone understands the main meaning. You just need to show your imagination, and then such a ransom will turn out to be spectacular and original.

Tips for conducting

A lot of people usually want to see how a bride is bought from a private house, and you should not disappoint them, especially children, to whom it is customary to distribute sweets. However, it should be remembered that the ransom is only the beginning of a long solemn day , so it is not recommended to drag it out for more than half an hour, and in no case abuse alcohol.

The youth scenario of buying a bride in a private house involves the participation of a toastmaster or host with a good sense of humor , and the most lively and witty bridesmaid becomes the “main seller”.

The whole action is interactive, since everyone present participates in it

They are the ones who comment on the groom’s actions, evaluate his answers, make their comments and thereby create a cheerful festive atmosphere.

If you decide to choose a modern funny scenario in the style of a village wedding, then you will definitely need one more character - the “ fake bride ”, which the “seller” offers to the groom from the very beginning. This role can be played, for example, by an elderly relative or a man in general, who are dressed up in a robe made from an old curtain, hung with beads, a wreath with a tulle veil covering their face is put on their head, in general, they become as sophisticated as they can.

Bridal veil

When, at the sight of such a “monster,” the groom refuses her, the girlfriends demand that he pay a ransom for the real bride, and that he pass tests (competitions).

Preparation

Video: ransom “For the boys”

And here’s what a video clip might look like, telling how a young groom ransomed his bride. The guys approached with taste and creativity not only the preparation of competitions, but also the filming, editing and the idea in general:

A traditional ransom can be a fun and exciting event, the key figures at which will be the groom, his retinue, the host and, of course, the bride herself. But most of the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the coordinators and the presenter. They should clearly know their roles and memorize the text in advance.

Competitions on the stairs

Bride ransom is one of the traditional rites that are always performed at a wedding. Initially, it was associated with the fact that the groom’s family compensated the bride for the loss of a pair of working hands.

But over time, the custom underwent a change, gradually becoming one of the ways to prove to the betrothed’s parents that a man is worthy of becoming her husband and will be able to overcome all obstacles for her sake. It was also an indicator that the groom was purposeful and hard-working, and the future family would not know the need.

Gradually the tests became less strict and more humorous. But they have not lost their main mission, being a symbolic expression of the fortitude of the future head of the family.

At the bride price, there are two teams that oppose each other - the bridesmaids, who come up with various challenges, and the groom. To even out the chances, his friends help the young man.

Due to the fact that the wedding day is literally scheduled minute by minute, all competitions must take place quickly, so it is necessary to take care in advance of selecting and drawing up a script for the groom and witness.

Traditionally, this is done by those who will conduct it - girlfriends.

Competitions should be:

easy to navigate, but not cause a feeling of insignificance or excessive simplicity;
short to fit within the allotted time;
funny to please guests and newlyweds;
leaving behind vivid memories;
symbolic, demonstrating the groom’s feelings for the bride.

The ransom should not last longer than 1 hour, and the optimal time is 15–30 minutes. During this time, it is recommended to hold 3-4 competitions. So that the guests and the groom and friends do not get tired, and also do not get tired before the start of the main celebration, it is necessary to create several diverse competitions, thanks to which they will be able to demonstrate their bravery or cunning.

And for the groom, this will be a good test, showing how much he loves and knows his future wife.

"Love lips"

To carry it out, you will need several sheets of paper, on which the bride and her bridesmaids leave a lip print.

Most often, different shades of lipstick are used for this, so that the presenter can easily distinguish the correct sheet from the rest.

The groom must recognize the lip print of his beloved, but if he is mistaken, he is required to pay a symbolic fine or perform some action. An easier option for such a competition is the possibility that the sheets need to be sprinkled with your favorite perfume.

Then it will be easier for the groom to recognize his beloved, because he will have not only prints, but also smells.

Unusual treat

Three identical fruits are chosen, most often apples or pears. A strong alcoholic drink is injected into one of them with a syringe, so that the puncture of the peel is not noticeable. This is done before the ransom begins.
Afterwards, the groom and his friends are “treated” so that he gets the unusual fruit. If he does not show his confusion by calmly eating the entire apple, then he wins; if not, then he pays the ransom.

Due to the unusualness of the situation and taste, grooms often show very funny reactions.

Hedgehog

To do this, needles, toothpicks or matches are inserted into a large apple in advance, so that on one side it resembles the needles of a hedgehog.

Sometimes they even draw eyes and a nose on it or depict them using beads; such decoration of the inventory looks very unusual and beautiful. The main task of the groom is to take out one toothpick at a time and compliment the bride and her mother. It is important that kind words are not repeated, otherwise you will have to pay a fine.

You can make the competition more difficult and ask an additional cool question. If there are a lot of needles, then you can be allowed to tell what the groom will do in his married life, how he will care for his wife. To make the competition more fun, you can set a certain time limit during which the hedgehog must lose all his needles.

If the groom meets the deadline, then he wins; if not, then he will have to pay a symbolic ransom.

What are you willing to do for love?

This competition should be held if the bride lives in a private house or in an apartment on the first or second floor. The groom, walking up the stairs, stops at each step and tells what kind of work he will do in his future family. What is he willing to do for the sake of his beloved?
These can be both serious responsibilities and comic but pleasant bonuses. At the same time, each promise is solemnly written down, and upon reaching the door, one of the girlfriends gives an agreement for signature, which lists all the phrases.

Most often it is left with the future family, or given to the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Seven-flowered flower

To do this, they make a large chamomile with multi-colored petals, on the back of which important dates in the bride’s life are written.
Sometimes these can be keywords or other clues. The groom, tearing off the petals, must answer what the written number or phrase refers to, and how exactly it is connected with his future wife. This competition demonstrates that a man is interested in the life of his partner and knows her well.

When he cannot answer correctly, he must complete a certain penalty task.

The heat of love

For this competition you will need a key to the apartment, as well as a glass of water. At night, place the container with the key in the freezer so that the water evenly covers the iron.

When the groom reaches the door of his future wife in the competition, he is handed a glass and must figure out how to melt the ice faster. In this case, lighters must not be used, and the glass must remain intact.

It is imperative to set a deadline within which the man must complete the task, or buy a second key to the door. Groomsmen can help in this competition; the groom himself is unlikely to cope.

In addition to the competitions that the groom must go through, there are many games and tasks for the witnesses, in which they must demonstrate strong friendship and mutual assistance.

Accuracy and qualities

To conduct this competition, 10–15 balloons are hung in front of the bride’s door or nearby on the wall.

The friend is given the same number of darts, and he must knock down all the obstacles. At the same time, he names the important qualities of the groom, which demonstrate his positive sides and allow him to show what he will be like in marriage.

If the witness cannot knock down all the balls at once, he must buy additional darts . The door to the room will open only if all the balls are destroyed. To make it easier to hit the balls, they must be securely fastened.

To do this, they are hung on the wall, or special threads are created, which are attached to the ceiling at one end, and a weight is hung on the other. Or they are stretched between the walls.

Festive bouquet

The witness must make a beautiful bouquet for the bride from wire, colored paper and sweets.

In this video there are several more bride price competitions:

To complete this task, 3–5 minutes are allotted, and if the artificial flowers are not beautiful enough in the eyes of the girlfriends, then it will be necessary to pay compensation or take some action as a fine.

Find out your beloved

For this competition to be a success, it is necessary to have identical robes. They are worn by girls who look like their future spouse. Everyone's hair should be pinned up in the same way as the bride's, or wigs will need to be rented. Then the competitions may diverge, but the main thing is that the man must find his betrothed.

The groom can be blindfolded, and he must determine by touch where his beloved is; for this he can touch the shoulders, hair, waist, or feel the face. For each attempt, witnesses pay a certain symbolic amount.

A more difficult option is when the groom is not blindfolded, but a translucent screen is placed between him and the girls, and he only has to guess from the silhouette where his beloved is. If he makes a mistake, he is obliged to complete a penalty task assigned by his future father-in-law or mother-in-law. A very difficult option is when 5 girls are seated on chairs and covered with blankets. And the groom must guess his betrothed by her feet.

If the girlfriends want to complicate the test, then the man is given a shoe, asking him to guess which girl it suits.

Kidnapping the bride or her shoes

The last competition most often comes as a surprise to the groom, because he believes that after seeing the bride, all the difficulties are over. Therefore, when she disappears, he must come to terms with the fact that he will return his beloved only after fulfilling certain requirements or tasks.

A more gentle option is a stolen pair of shoes - the bride cannot leave the house barefoot. Here you can conduct a real treasure hunt.

At the same time, not only the groom’s friends can help, but also everyone who wants to. At the same time, in order to get a hint, you will need to do some funny action (dance of little swans, crow, etc.), which the extortionist who has stolen the value will wish.

It is important to time the competitions so that between them and getting into the cars there is time for a little rest for the guests and newlyweds. Perhaps a small buffet should be organized.

Bride ransom: funny and modern script

Every couple strives to make their wedding unforgettable, so they prepare for it in advance. The bride's ransom is considered one of the highlights of the newlyweds' day, which involves a large number of guests.

To create a colorful atmosphere and conduct a fun bride price in 2021, you need to come up with a funny and modern scenario so that such a tradition will be remembered for a long time.

Cool competitions for bride price in a private house

The bride price in a private house is always fun and with a large crowd of people. It is necessary to come up with interesting competitions in advance for the ransom of the bride (only such that the groom does not have to dirty his suit).

The first competition is held in front of the gate (wicket) before the groom and friends are allowed into the yard.

Experience the power of love

On the gate (wicket) there is a sheet of paper attached like an advertisement with tear-off strips, on each of which there is a letter of the alphabet. The groom needs to call his bride with a word starting with this letter, for example, A is my angel, B is prudent, C is magnificent, G is glamorous, in short, whatever his imagination is enough for. It is not necessary to list all the letters of the alphabet; you can take 5-6 of the easiest letters so as not to delay the ransom.

When the gate (wicket) opens in front of the groom, he will face the next test.

Test your agility and intelligence

To do this, you need to place plastic cups or footprints cut out of paper on the path to the entrance to the house in advance, placing them at a distance of a long step, and make the groom jump on them to the door. You can make the competition more complicated: at each cup/trail the groom stops and answers a question about his bride, and only after the correct answer can he jump further. The questions are very varied: what is her favorite dish, favorite subject at school, favorite actor or singer, etc.

The task can be complicated : direct the path not to the door of the house, but to the far end of the yard, so that the groom passes through a labyrinth of ropes stretched between trees and bushes at approximately chest height.

Draw a portrait of the bride

On a large sheet of whatman paper fixed on a hard surface (for example, on a board on the wall of a house), the groom draws his chosen one. The worse he draws, the funnier the competition will be. Don't forget to provide a large set of pencils for your corner where the competition will be held!

Test the strength

You can invite the groom to hammer a nail with one blow of a hammer or pull a heavy obstacle (log) away from the door.

The main thing is that the groom does not get injured or get his suit dirty.

a well nearby , it can be used for a strength competition: can the groom fill a bucket and carry it to the door without spilling the water.

Experience mindfulness

If the groom has completed all the tasks, he is asked to find the key to the bride's house hidden in balloons. To do this, several balloons are inflated, a piece of paper with the inscription “key” is placed in one, and pieces of paper with just one letter are placed in the others.

Key to the bride's house for ransom

The groom will have to pierce the balls until he finds the key, and if instead of the key there is a piece of paper with a letter, then he must come up with a compliment for his bride that begins with this letter. Another, more mercantile option is also possible: on the pieces of paper there are not letters, but the ransom amounts that the groom will have to pay.

These are not all original ransom competitions. You can come up with a ransom scenario in the form of a quest on a wide variety of topics.
