Gypsy at a wedding: script, unusual congratulations at a wedding from a gypsy
If we think about having a fun, original and creative approach to the wedding party, then creating an original script is a must.
Guests watch thematic events with special pleasure and excitement. They can be either in the style of the wild west or gypsy fun. If we talk about the latter, then many people associate them with the most fun celebration of events. The gypsy wedding will not leave anyone indifferent, as will the entire celebration held in a similar style.
Funny fortune telling
The image of a gypsy at an anniversary or corporate party allows you to communicate with almost everyone present under the pretext of fortune telling. Your congratulatory speech can also be framed in the form of predictions.
There are several options - you can “tell fortunes” by hand, on cards, or simply invite those present to try their luck by pulling the prediction out of the bag.
The main thing is to prepare humorous wishes in advance that will amuse, but in no case will offend those present. Predictions can be either in prose or in poetry; the same Internet will come to the rescue. You can see options for New Year's predictions in verse below.
If you haven’t found suitable poems on the Internet or among the options presented below, and want to make unique poetic predictions, then it would be logical to order poems.
Predictions or wishes can be written on small strips of paper, rolled up and placed in a bag from which guests will take them out. The second option is a deck of cards, on the front side of which you will paste wishes, and those present, again, will draw them out.
Features of a wedding in gypsy style
If we talk about a gypsy-style marriage ceremony, then it’s worth thinking about what it means.
Firstly, it is impossible to hold events without careful planning. Gypsies will require music, costumes and an appropriate script, which will have to be taken care of in advance.
Secondly, put your guests in the appropriate mood. It would be nice if those present come not in evening dresses, but in colored skirts and bright blouses.
A wedding stylized as a gypsy has a number of features that should definitely be observed.
Gypsies pay great attention not only to the wedding itself, but also to matchmaking. It is customary that the groom and his in-laws come to the bride’s house the evening before the wedding. There he hands his father a bottle of champagne covered with a handkerchief with coins.
If the father not only accepts the bottle, but also opens it, then the matchmaking was successful and the bride will get married tomorrow.
In this case, the bride and groom should also think about costumes. Of course, classic dresses and suits are not suitable. However, costumes can be made in several variations. The simplest, which is only a stylization, is a boho outfit that has distant roots with gypsy.
If you want a completely themed party, and not just a stylized one, then Aza’s gypsy outfit will do. This is a wide black skirt and a voluminous white blouse. It is worth adding bright makeup to it. For a man, classic black trousers and a red satin shirt, fitting slightly loosely and voluminously, are suitable.
Appearance
To recreate the appearance of a gypsy, it is enough to find a couple of bright scarves, skirts, massive earrings and jewelry, a fan, and a deck of cards. You can also use a black wig with long thick hair; it would be appropriate to add a bright flower to your hairstyle. Makeup in this look should be catchy - scarlet lipstick, black arrows on the eyes, bright shadows.
An important attribute of a gypsy is a large number of colorful skirts of different lengths, one on top of the other, and the hem of each skirt should be visible. For skirts, you can wear a jacket with lush frills and bare shoulders. Additionally, you can hold cards, a fan or a guitar in your hands if you are proficient in this instrument.
Scenarios for weddings in gypsy style
A gypsy celebration is always a grandiose and stylized event. It is as fun and grandiose as possible. Guests are invited to participate in the dancing from the very beginning.
According to tradition, the evening is opened by the groom's mother and father, who perform a dance.
If desired, a married couple can join them, thereby showing special respect and honor for older relatives.
In fact, Gypsy culture is rich in customs and rituals. It's quite difficult to comply with them all if you don't even understand what they're talking about. Often, weddings in this style are only lightly colored. It can manifest itself in characteristic competitions and events. For example:
Performance
If, according to the program, you have to perform, then there are many options for your image - “gypsy girl with an exit,” singing a song or fortune telling.
If you have settled on dance, then on the Internet you will find a lot of useful material on its performance. “Gypsy with an exit” consists of two contrasting parts - slow and fast, which accelerates as the dance progresses.
To perform a song, you can choose from a huge number of options, for example, in the film “Cruel Romance” several famous gypsy songs are presented. The songs of the robbers from the cartoon “The Musicians of Bremen” are also popular. You can surprise everyone if you perform not the original song, but a remake of it with words suitable for the event. If the required text is not available on the Internet, then you can order the text for a rework of the song on this site.
Costume competitions and skits with gypsies
Many people like the image of gypsies.
They love him for the mood they give. There is always special fun, songs, dances and high spirits. If the celebration takes place in a classical style, then you can always include one or two scenes that will consist entirely of gypsy images. This will amuse the guests. In addition, there are hardly anyone who would not want to experience that very brave gypsy spirit.
Be sure to use the necessary details to prepare the scene. They should be scarves, skirts and blouses. All this will fit perfectly into the general idea of a gypsy party. For greater ambiance, one of the men can be given a guitar, an indispensable gypsy attribute.
Bride kidnapping
At many weddings, a special ceremony of abducting the bride is performed. He is an integral part of many nationalities. Gypsies are no exception.
In order to perform a similar act at a wedding celebration, you need to select 8-10 people from among the guests present who will play the role of gypsies. Be sure to give each of them the appropriate outfit and advise them on what they have to do.
To exit, you can turn on a fiery dance and send your guests dancing. The gypsies call the bride and groom to an impromptu stage, dancing with them. In the swirl of the dance, several guests lead the bride away, doing this in an unnoticed manner. When the groom comes to his senses, he realizes that his wife is not there.
The guests demand a bride price. Several options are possible here. For example, ask the groom to become their baron. To do this, the gypsies perform a funny ritual or force a young man to perform the baron's dance.
It always looks quite funny. If a young man is shy and reserved, then you can ask his friends to come to his aid.
Fortune telling
One of the most popular scenes is fortune telling. Many associate gypsies with the fact that they are the best at predicting the future.
In this case, fortune telling acts as an entertaining part. Nothing is required from guests at this moment. It is determined in advance with those who will play the role of psychics. They are sent to change clothes and given a text. To the accompaniment of characteristic music, the gypsies come out and visit all the guests. They ask to gild the pen so they can tell fortunes for the future.
Alternatively, you can ask one of the guests present to choose a card. If it turns out to be a diamond, then you need to give candy. If worms fall out, you will have to sing. And if it’s spades, then have a glass. Cross means to kiss the person sitting next to you.
Congratulations from the gypsy
A gypsy can act as an original guest at the celebration.
By the way, you can choose her from among the guests present, or you can call her from the ensemble. As for the latter option, it will be more spectacular and unforgettable. Ask a gypsy dance or music group to perform at your own wedding. Before you know it, all the guests will start dancing in a matter of seconds, having fun with all their hearts.
If you chose one of the guests, deciding to dress her up in a gypsy costume, then you need to worry about her speech. She must definitely say the characteristic phrases “darling”, “gypsy girl”, “let me tell my fortune”, “a happy journey awaits you”.
How to make a comic horoscope for guests?
Another option to diversify the evening and allow your guests to have a good laugh is to make a comic astrological forecast for them. To do this , dress up a friend in an astrologer costume . If you don't have the appropriate props, find large glasses and make a cap decorated with stars out of blue cardboard. You can use a tablecloth or bedspread as a mantle.
For the first day, it will be enough to predict that all zodiac signs today have equal chances to have a great time . A forecast can be made for the next day for each horoscope constellation. You can call it “Hangover forecast for tomorrow morning.”
Aries . A surprise awaits you tomorrow morning! You will see in the reflection of the mirror that your gorgeous horns have suddenly become even, like Cupid’s arrows, and now you have to work hard to get through the doors.
Taurus . On the eve of your wedding banquet, you drank a pack of activated charcoal and suddenly decided that now everything will be fine with you? You will still see this very coal and understand that everything is not as good as you wanted.
Twins . It is unlikely that tomorrow morning, when you open your eyes and look in the mirror, you will see a person absolutely similar to yourself.
Twins
Cancers . Tomorrow you will need today's training. Now you will be crawling backwards for a long time from every glass you pour, remembering the hangover.
Lions . Early in the morning you will let out such a desperate roar that your neighbor will take pity and bring you a bottle of mineral water.
Virgos . I don’t recommend going to your favorite mirror in the morning. You will lose faith in yourself.
Scales . Tomorrow you will be confused, counting how much alcohol a normal person can drink and comparing it with the amount you drank.
Scorpios . Place a bottle of beer next to your bed at night. As soon as you open your eyes, drink! Otherwise, you will sting everyone around you the entire next day.
Capricorns . In the morning, look carefully in the mirror to make sure there are no new horns.
Capricorn
Aquarius . In the morning you will go visit again to continue having fun.
Fish . Don't fight like a fish against ice! The holiday was a success, and whoever didn’t like your behavior should die of envy.
You can come up with a lot of comic horoscopes.
If you have a talent for poetry, try to describe the character of each zodiac sign in a simple quatrain
If not, supplement the descriptions of the morning after the wedding day with representatives of the constellations with your text.
Gypsy at a wedding Part 1
A young gypsy woman walks, dancing and singing:
Stops in front of a young man:
Waving his hand, he approaches another: “Oh, young man, gild your pen, don’t be greedy! Don't look at my youth, look into my wise eyes! Well, why are you looking like I stole your cow? Yes, I haven’t stolen it yet, I haven’t had time! Gild it quickly, otherwise I’ll tell you such a fortune that you’ll spend the whole century looking for your happiness, but you won’t find it!” The guy gives money, but refuses to guess.
The gypsy woman takes the money and walks away: “Oh, thank you, oh, well done!” I’ll tell you my fortune later, you’ll listen forever, you won’t hear enough, if you want! And now I don’t have time, I need to hurry, to bring happiness to the young!”
He approaches another group of guests: “Oh, you, dear guests, are brave fellows! Smile at me, gypsy, don’t skimp on paying! Whoever gives how much money wishes the young people so much happiness! Now we will find out!
Collects money and goes to the table:
The guests answer in unison: “Yes, yes!”

He takes the money and continues the fortune-telling: “And your eyes are bright
And you, beauty, will live to see deep gray hairs! But this won’t make it any worse! Children, listen, you will have five rubles. gave, there will be five, that means! And there will be five times five grandchildren and the same number of great-grandchildren! Thank you, dear, for your kindness and generosity!

The groom waves his arms and chases the gypsy woman away: “Enough, enough, get out of here. "

The gypsy woman addresses the groom:
“Where can I get a mother-in-law to buy a Lada?” Yes, so that no one will guess that the money is not mine. "
The gypsy woman is led by the arms to the exit.
Is it possible that the groom’s horns are showing?”
Shakes one piece of paper:
“Yes, for that kind of money, I would tell you golden horns, yes, what should I invent, or what, if they don’t exist?
Indignantly, he waves his hands, and looking around, shouts: “Tell me thank you that I am kind, and your wife is not greedy!”:
Yes, so that you don’t marry again! Yes, so you don’t get a divorce! Yes, may you get rich!
Yes, so that you don't grow old! Yes, may you smile forever! Yes, so you don't swear!

Gypsy fortune telling
The gypsy fortune teller covered my hand with her hand, whispering:
“Devel is galloping on a horse, the sun is shining in the heights - he illuminates the path, controls fate! Well done, handsome, looks like a month, may you be rich and happily married! But the lava comes to you, lies in your hands, and tells you to share with me!”
Then, turning her palm over, she said demandingly: “Golden the handle, iris! I’ll tell you how not to miss happiness, I’ll tell you what lies ahead!”
I gave her several hundred-dollar bills and the gypsy fortune teller continued: “In a year, you will marry the beautiful, rich daughter of the boss, and you will become the boss yourself. When you get to the house, walk into the door with your back, wave your hand at the shadow. Gild the handle, otherwise you’ll talk to the devil!”
Yes, it’s not like a man to run away from old money, but everyone knows what gypsies are capable of - everyone knows about stories with fortune tellers: they can deprive a person of all his money.
Of course, I didn’t believe a single word of the old witch, but when I got to my dorm, just in case, I did everything exactly as she told me.
And then he tried to forget about this incident, reassuring himself that he had escaped with minor losses.

Competition options
- "Gypsy" offers the groom to tell fortunes. The gypsy has a fan of cards in her hands, and when asked the question, the groom must choose one of them. The questions can be anything: “Why are you getting married?”, “Will you love your wife?”, “How many children do you want?” You need to write funny answers on the cards, for example: “Mom told me to,” “I like to eat delicious food,” “I like my mother-in-law.” In case of an incorrect answer, the groom will have to pay for the opportunity to answer again.
- Another option for fortune telling. “Gypsy” holds a fan of cards, one of which depicts the bride, the others - models from the magazine in seductive poses. The groom is invited to choose a portrait of his sweetheart. There is a fine for choosing the wrong card.
- The “Gypsy” holds a fan of cards, each of which has an abbreviation written on it. The groom is asked what he plans to do in his family life. By drawing a card, the young man must decipher what a specific abbreviation means (MP - wash the dishes, JSH - give his wife fur coats, etc.).
- They explain to the groom that he is not the only one vying for the bride’s hand. In front of him are several balloons with portraits of famous actors. It is proposed to “kill the competition”: use dart arrows to punch through the balls. For a miss, of course, there is a fine.
- In a gypsy camp there is no place without songs. The groom is offered to sing a serenade.
- On each step of the stairs leading to the door of the bride's apartment there is a letter. The groom's task is to come up with an affectionate word starting with her (S - sunshine, L - beloved, etc.).
- The bride and several other women (for laughs - always an old lady and a very little girl) are locked in a room and holding ribbons in their hands. The ends of the tapes are brought out under the door. The groom stands in front of the door, pulls the ribbon, and the woman who holds the other end in her hands leaves the room. Of course, the groom will have to fork out for the opportunity to try again.

The holiday has begun: gypsy wedding traditions and customs
The wedding of ancient gypsies lasted at least three days. This is rare to see today. The main events take place on the first day. For these people, going to the registry office is not necessary. But today, couples often go there for official painting - this makes family life easier in the modern world. However, they do this either before the holiday or after it. Painting is a pure formality, what is more important is the approval of the community and the blessing of the parents.
And so, since there is no need to go to the registry office, and the bride’s ransom, according to gypsy customs, took place before the holiday (the groom’s family transfers the ransom amount assigned at matchmaking to the bride’s parents shortly before the celebration), the fun begins immediately. There is no point in waiting until all the guests have arrived, because they can arrive throughout the evening. Everyone who comes immediately goes to the newlyweds and presents a gift. Today it is most often money. But the gypsies cannot afford to come to visit empty-handed without a gift, so they usually also give a bottle of expensive alcohol.
The important fact is that men and women must sit at separate tables - this is the law. But most of the time the tables are still empty, because during the celebration there is always cheerful, often live music and guests are constantly dancing.
Particularly wealthy families can order a star for the holiday: a singer, band, actor or comedian. If this is not possible, then in any case they invite the gypsy ensemble to the wedding.

Wedding scene. A gypsy comes to the wedding and gives a comic fortune-telling to the young couple, showing that they have many common lines on their hands, so it was not in vain that fate brought them together.
Congratulatory people dressed as gypsies come out to the music. Two people carry a box with holes on the sides, on which guests see a picture of a TV.
Gypsy 1. Ay, romale, dear ones! We, daring gypsies, travel around the world. We'll tell you everything for a coin. They pester guests.
Gypsy 2. Give me your pen, I’ll tell you your fate. A big shake-up awaits you: Vodka, beer, songs, dancing. Fun awaits, a lot of jokes And... not a short road. Gypsy 1. For our truthful story, give us money! Gypsy 2. Oh, look, what a miracle! (Points to the bride.) It sparkles, so beautiful! And on this occasion, let's tell fortunes differently. Gypsy 1. Come on, guy, come out and grab the girl! (To Gypsy 2.) Get out our computer! (To the groom.) Here you go! Fortune teller "Scooter".
He holds out a box, into the holes of which the newlyweds will have to simultaneously insert their hand.
Gypsy 2. Give me your hand, dear! Well, not alone, with my wife! When we press the button with you, we will see everything on the screen.
Presses a button on a blank screen.
Gypsy 1. The screen is empty! And this means, Somewhere something is not connecting! Gypsy 2. Oh, how did we forget?! They didn't put any money inside! Well, I’ll go visit the guests and collect some money. Gypsy 1. So, we lower the coins and read everything from the screen.
Turns the box over to the side where the hands are drawn.
Gypsy 2. It was not in vain that the road brought you together: There are a lot of common lines. Aw, just look! Gypsy 1. Don’t hesitate, speak up! Gypsy 2. We lead the line of life... You two can live for 300 years! But the line of fate... Be kind to fate. Gypsy 1. The health line is visible - it promises you children in full! Gypsy 2. Line of love, let me... Oh! How many sleepless nights! Gypsy 1. In general, you will not be lost, you will live in happiness, in peace. There will be love and affection. Yes, not life, but just a fairy tale! Gypsy 2. Well, it’s time for us to go home! The camp is waiting for us behind the mountain!
Devilry
And then the police opened a criminal case against me. The brothers were burying corpses in my cemetery, and I was the last one.
Well, yes, I knew what was going on in the entrusted territory, but if I had gone to the police, they would have buried me there too: not on the same day, then the next.
As soon as my father-in-law found out about everything, he immediately evicted me to a communal apartment, filing my divorce with Nastya retroactively. There was such a sharp turn - I was climbing a hill and ended up in a hole.
When I turned to her out of despair, she immediately confirmed: the gypsy’s predictions had an impact on my whole life.
If you're attending a costume event and the theme allows you to dress up as a gypsy, consider yourself lucky. The image of a gypsy is very advantageous, because it allows you to sing, dance, and tell fortunes by hand. This bright image is quite easy to implement and it will undoubtedly be remembered by all guests; you will shine in it.

Peculiarities
Gypsies are a free, nomadic people, despite this, for the most part they strictly observe centuries-old traditions, many of which relate specifically to weddings.
Parents begin to prepare for this celebration almost as soon as their children are born, so it is always grand, noisy and fun. It is celebrated for three days, mainly in the summer, so that the weather does not interfere with the newlyweds and guests singing, dancing and having fun in the open air.
These people pay special attention to matchmaking. Previously, older family members themselves decided who they would marry, and the bride and groom often recognized each other only on their wedding day
Now there are no such strict rules, parents can only advise their children what is the most correct choice, in their opinion, but young people themselves can take a closer look at each other and decide whether they want to start their own family.
This worries almost no one, since divorce is not provided for among these people. If the newlyweds want to formalize their relationship, this is done after the main celebration.
A beautiful custom associated with matchmaking is mutual “offerings” of families to each other. On the groom's side, a birch branch is prepared, which is hung with banknotes, coins or gold jewelry. This is how the future head of the family shows his readiness and ability to provide for his wife and children.
On the bride's side, the women bake a magnificent loaf of bread, which is placed on the table if the family is determined to marry the girl to this particular young man.
Another special custom in the Gypsy culture is related to bride price. Its size directly depends on the welfare of the groom’s family and the merits of the girl he wants to marry. The ransom is presented to the bride's parents, who subsequently decide how to dispose of it - keep it for themselves or give it to the newlyweds. The groom's family also pays for the wedding itself.
The gypsy people have many more traditions associated with weddings, but it is not necessary to take them all into account if you plan only to stylize them according to this theme. Many lovers adopt only the general features of the celebration - the scope, fun, decor and outfits.
In this case, tasks for the young man should be prepared in the gypsy style. Women dressed as gypsies will offer fortune telling for family life, of course, for a fee, and small children in appropriate costumes can help the groom deal with tricky questions.
The main colors for a gypsy style wedding are black, red and gold. The first two shades symbolize the wife’s respect and submission to her husband, and the last one symbolizes prosperity. This color palette is used both in the decoration of the celebration venue and in clothing. You can use other colors in combination with one of the main ones, if necessary.
