Any wedding, from simple to royal, does not go without fun contests. Redemption of the bride, dancing in a tutu, running obstacles on all fours - this is just a small part, which is included in the entertainment program. Competitions for weddings are developed as scrupulously and responsibly as the bride chooses a dress and hairstyle for the celebration. It depends on these entertainments how successful the event will be.
Funny lottery
This feast contest is convenient in that no guest needs to break away from his seat. In most cases, people are simply embarrassed to participate in such an entertainment program, being afraid to seem too funny or ridiculous. The lottery, on the contrary, will allow the most modest to relax, and the brave to win the next prizes.
Such a feast contest is a win-win, since absolutely all participants will receive, albeit insignificant, but pleasant presents. And the winners who first collected Bingo will receive original gifts.
Lottery Features:
- The hosts of this competition for the wedding can be both the groom and the bride themselves, as well as the toastmaster with relatives.
- The lottery will require a minimum amount of props, and the main expenses will be spent on gifts and preparing tickets, barrels with numbers, musical accompaniment.
- The duration of one draw, as a rule, does not exceed 10-15 minutes, therefore, such a contest can be held several times in the evening, playing more and more interesting and significant prizes. For example, if the budget allows, the main participants who assembled "Bingo" can be presented with a microwave, electric kettle or a set of bed linen.
Epicenter of fun
Funny competitions for the wedding are a must. Guests should receive a huge positive charge at the event, so that for years later they will tell all their friends, children and grandchildren about it.
Fun competitions for the wedding are simply obliged to arrange, make laugh and surprise everyone present. After such an energetic celebration, everyone will be satisfied:
- Dance "Lie to me." Among the guests, couples are chosen, and then the master of ceremonies gives a deep bowl or bag, in which notes with the name of the dance style were placed in advance. Teams choose the first number - lezginka, lambada, waltz, hip-hop. But here's the catch: when the couples are ready to dance, the music is turned on, but absolutely opposite to the styles that they have chosen. The main task of the teams is to dance numbers to completely inappropriate music. Imagine how funny it will look when guests try to waltz under a modern Japanese gangway.
- "Laying hen." The wedding contest for guests is a fun sight. The host again selects several couples who want to participate. The meaning of the competition is to put the two participants with their backs to each other, and put a hard-boiled egg between the shoulder blades. The main task of the couple is to lower the props down the back so that it smoothly falls into a small basket. The team that was able to omit the props first and with the least damage wins.
Competition for the groom
"Redemption of the bride" is a popular entertainment at any wedding. The tradition of abducting a newly made spouse is present among many peoples - Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Slavs. The custom itself is such a peculiar transition of the bride from the parental home to the groom. At the same time, the rite symbolizes the difficulties that a spouse must go through in order to take her married to her. To do this, comic obstacles, ransoms, puzzles and tasks are arranged.
Competition for the groom "Redemption of the bride" sometimes brings the guy problems and discontent, because in order to find his beloved, he will have to solve puzzles, prove to the bride's relatives his serious intentions. But you can do it in another way - to pay off from annoying guests, having paid them in order to find out where the narrowed is hidden. In this difficult competition, the groom should be helped by his faithful comrades - friends.
Other entertainments
Wedding contests for the groom are not so popular in modern society. They began to be added to the script recently:
- "Strength and love." This will be a real test for the guy, because he will have to prove how much he loves and appreciates his wife. To this end, the host will draw notes from the dark bag with questions that the groom must answer as honestly and truthfully as possible. The idea of the competition is that the guy is asked, for example, whether he can raise the bride in his arms. If so, then he does it and receives a prize. Tasks can be the most insidious: to put on a ballet tutu, draw a portrait of the wife, come up with funny names for pets.
- "Dance of the brutal ducklings." This competition is held for a wedding without a host. Here the bride is already taking her betrothed and his best friends to the center of the hall, giving out one ballet tutu, a funny wig and large stockings. When the whole team is dressed up, the corresponding music from Swan Lake is turned on. Men should dance as fun as possible, as if they were real graceful ballerinas. Just imagine how brutal well-groomed guys in ballet tutus will look like. Not only guests, but also restaurant employees will be delighted with such a sight!
- "Poseidon is the king of the seas." This is a wedding contest for guests. The point is that the host to crown the groom and give him the trident of Poseidon. The main task of the guy is to prove how much his faithful friends obey him. The groom must approach his subjects, order to depict a sea figure, such as a starfish, dolphin or seal. The best artist, according to audience sympathy, receives a prize, and the rest receive comforting presents.
Auction
So that guests do not get bored during the feast, special contests are needed. For weddings, scenarios are usually developed by the host and his team, but the groom and the bride can also take part in this process. We have already talked about the possibility of holding an exciting and win-win lottery, but now we will describe another interesting contest - an auction.
Such an event is the sale of any things (property) under the hammer, that is, from bargaining. The meaning of this competition for a wedding is for the newlyweds to be able to start their family life with a clean slate and an additional budget. As a rule, programs are held at all such celebrations, which require some contributions, even the most minimal ones (100, 500 rubles).
The auction is held by the host. To do this, he will need a table, helpers and a wooden hammer. In this competition for the wedding, 10 lots participate, which are taken out in turn to the center of the hall so that all guests can consider the goods at the auction. Toastmaster announces the initial value, and then raises the rates until the time runs out. The thing is taken by the person who named the large amount. He can get it right away, his assistants will help in this toastmaster. Any item can participate in the auction - clothes, children's drawings, household appliances, jewelry. But where the proceeds go will be decided by the newlyweds themselves. As a rule, after such competitions for a wedding at the table, all funds go to the family budget in order to make repairs in the future, buy an apartment or buy clothes for kids, and some donate to charity.
At the table
Another way to entertain guests at a celebration is to have a fun drinking contest. For modern weddings, such an entertainment program is simply necessary, because now all events are limited to noisy congratulations, endless photo shoots and dancing the groom with the bride.
- "In the pink light." In breaks, when all the guests have danced and tired, you can arrange an interesting competition for the wedding. A table with participants is selected (no more than 10 people, so as not to get bored). The presenter approaches the first comer, puts on glasses with pink glasses and says a completely unusual compliment, but at the same time funny and ready to make everyone laugh. For example, "Wearing this frame, I noticed how bright your teeth sparkle." The host then passes the glasses to this person, and he, in turn, gives a compliment to the following. And so everything is in a circle. The task of all participants in the feast is to make a truly unusual compliment. In addition, such a competition will allow guests to relax, make friends with each other and bring them closer, because in most cases absolutely unfamiliar people can sit next to each other.
At home
If the wedding is held more modestly and quietly (in a private house, in an apartment), then guests and heroes of the occasion will not be able to make noise, dance a lot, otherwise there may be problems with neighbors. In this case, come up with more quiet, original, but nonetheless fun contests that allow you to relax and amuse everyone present at the event:
- "Pop the ball." This is a simple contest in which friends participate. To do this, take two chairs, two balloons and fun music. The participants' task is to crush the balls with their buttocks until time runs out. You can’t touch the props with your hands, while the one who drops his ball on the floor automatically loses. The winner receives a prize - a dance with the bride or groom.
- "Let's arrange a carnival." A team of interested people gathers. Each person is given an original props - wigs, costumes, pots and musical instruments. The essence of the competition is that this team come up with an original performance, using all sorts of improvised means. They can arrange an unforgettable theatrical performance, musical number - it all depends on the imagination and creativity.
Games without a host
Toastmaster, like the rest of those present at the wedding, is also a person. He needs to take a 15-minute break to catch his breath, have a bite or have a marathon. During that time, while the presenter is absent, interesting contests can be held so that the rest of the guests are not bored. As a rule, at such moments when the toastmaster is preparing for the next program, music is turned on, and everyone at the celebration starts a meal, telling toasts.
- An interesting game "Who better to declare love" will amuse those present. The bottom line is that the spouses choose 3-5 the most faithful friends who must confess their love on behalf of the bride or groom. For example, a guy chooses a friend who comes to the bride and says nice compliments in the same way as a newly-made spouse would have done.
- Another no less exciting contest is "Have I made a mistake". Here the groom blindfolds his narrowed, and then unwinds around its axis several times. At this moment, loud music is turned on, and several guys, including the spouse, become in one row. The bride should go around each of them - touch, smell, maybe kiss on the cheek. If she guesses who among the applicants is her chosen one, then she receives a prize. And so that everything is honest, it is proposed to hold the same competition, only where the guy with the girl change places.
Original contests
At the wedding, guests should not be bored, so if you are a shy person, we offer you to overcome all the complexes and insecurity, because to enjoy it you will have to completely relax and enjoy the holiday - the birth of a new family.
- "Deserve a dance with me." The friends are given small baskets, and within a few hours they must complete tasks for which they will be rewarded with points. The one who collects the most points can dance with any person at the wedding, while no one can refuse him. Agree that this is a great way to make friends and start a new relationship with someone you really like.
- "Getting ready for an adult and serious life." This contest is especially popular with guests, because it amuses them. What is its meaning? The bride is given a set for babies - a hat, a bib, napkins, a bottle, a spoon, a pacifier and fruit puree. The girl must first put the props on her husband, and then feed him with everyone so that at the same time he does not slap him. But there is a main nuance - the spoon will be with holes, however, like the bottle. Therefore, it’s impossible to feed the groom just like that.
- "Touching moment". What a wedding takes place without the bride and groom dancing with their parents! Perhaps this is the sweetest and most touching moment in such a holiday. Of course, this is not a competition, but not all games should only amuse.
Unusual contests
Now weddings are held on a large scale, where apartments, houses and school canteens have been replaced by chic restaurants, and the Volga by a huge motorcade consisting of Hammer limousines. Competitions, respectively, also become more modern and modernized.
- "Spontaneous flash mob." Guests will remember such a contest for a long time, because for a long time many dreamed of participating in this and a major event, where a large number of people are involved. To do this, you need to raise all the guests from the chairs to make the show as spectacular as possible.
A flash mob is arranged without preparation. A host is placed in the center of the hall, who will control the crowd, while not blocking the excellent view of the dancing guests to the bride and groom. When the music turns on, the host begins to show a series of actions that the participants must repeat, while moving to the beat of the melody. Everyone should be careful, because some gestures will begin to change and sometimes seem absurd, strange and funny.
If your competitions bring pleasure and joy to all guests, the holiday was a success. Everyone will remember such a wedding for a long time, and the bride and groom will feel great, telling their children about such a wonderful celebration.
