How to choose fun games for guests and run funny competitions at a wedding? People start thinking about this long before the holiday. Of course, it is easier if a professional toastmaster is the host at the wedding, but often modern newlyweds and their friends decide to take full responsibility, show their imagination and come up with entertainment programs and new entertainment themselves, abandoning the already boring traditional games.
The purpose of such entertainment is not to let any of those invited to the holiday get bored. Each guest must take part in entertainment, games, quizzes, and competitions designed specifically for adults and children.
Wedding competitions for the groom
Mom's voice
The groom and mother of the bride are blindfolded. Within one to three minutes they must find each other by voice. The groom shouts “Mother-in-law!”, and the bride’s mother shouts: “Son-in-law!” However, they are disturbed by other guests who also periodically shout these words. If the mother-in-law and son-in-law have not found each other during this time, then they are obliged to dance together in order to get closer together.
On the road of love
The groom is taken as far as possible from the bride and told that he will be able to take a step only if he gives his wife some kind of compliment. Everyone counts how many steps it will take the groom to get to his beloved - the more there are, the better. You can make the competition more complicated and ask that each compliment begin with the letter of the alphabet that begins with the bride's name.
Memorable photos
For this competition, the presenter must prepare, or rather, edit photographs from the couple’s life together. Only the faces and bodies of the bride and groom should remain in the pictures, and the background should be darkened or painted over with all kinds of colors. One by one, the presenter shows the groom and everyone else pictures that show the bride and groom, and the groom must remember the reason for which this photo was taken and the place where it was taken. For a correctly guessed photo, the bride kisses the groom, and for all the correctly guessed photos, the groom receives a prize, for example, a frame for a wedding photo.
Coffee in bed for your beloved
The groom is brought a tray with a full cup of coffee (coffee can be replaced with any liquid). The groom stands at a certain distance, about 20 steps from the bride. On the “start” command, the groom must reach the bride within a certain time, for example, 1 minute, and not spill a drop of coffee. If the groom completes the task, he receives a kiss from his beloved as a reward.
First build the house, and then the son and the tree
The groom is given a deck of playing cards and must use all the cards to build a house in a minute. All the guests support the groom, and he, in turn, tries to quickly and deftly build a house. If the groom manages to build a house within the specified time, he receives a prize - a kiss from the bride and, for example, a keychain for the keys to the future house.
So that there is no shame at the ball
For this competition, the host must stock up on melodies of various dances, and the groom must stock up on enthusiasm and inspiration. The presenter takes turns playing excerpts of melodies of various dances (Greek, hopak, 7:40, tango, waltz, and so on). An excerpt of a song plays and the groom dances. It will be interesting for everyone to watch how the groom quickly finds his bearings and switches from dance to dance, each time showing incredible talent, for example, not to get confused and at the moment of tango take a chair or mother-in-law, grab a knife from the table and masterfully dance the lezginka. As soon as the melodies are over and the groom has successfully completed all the dances, he will be awarded a diploma as a skilled dancer, with whom the bride will not be ashamed to appear at the ball.
We will have as many
The presenter takes turns calling the groom categories from life, and the groom, in turn, says: “We will have as many _as_,” and how many should be related to the parameters of the bride, for example, as many children as my bride has eyes; as many trips a year as my bride weighs; there are as many quarrels as the bride has karate belts, which means none, and so on. For the ingenuity and ingenuity of the groom, the couple at the end shout out loud and wish everything to be so.
The host or one of the guests reads out an impromptu poem or story about the love of the bride and groom in words that can be shown, and the groom must reveal his “pantonymic” talent and comment on each word with facial expressions, for example, I (points to himself) love (shows heart) for you (points to the bride) and so on. The story can be of any direction, for example, You are the eighth wonder of the world, your eyes are like the blue sky, your smile shines like the sun. I love you very much and will always be your super hero. The groom is awarded a prize for a talented and brilliant performance.
Family advertising
The groom must show his ingenuity and advertise his family, or rather, each family member: himself, his new wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law and mother-in-law. For example, only today, only now in front of you is an incredibly beautiful and breathtaking chick, sweet as wine with a slight tart aftertaste of passion and charm. Eyes like the ocean, a look that moves your hearts and a kind heart that will open up vast expanses of joy before you. Who is this, you ask. I think you know it yourself. And the guests must guess who the groom is advertising. This is my mother-in-law. If the guests liked the groom's "commercial videos", he receives loud applause and a prize.
“Don’t take it off!”
When the fun is in full swing, and New Year's competitions for office workers follow one after another, you can try the following entertainment. Place a variety of clothing items in a box. Then the music starts playing, and at the presenter’s signal, the participants pass this box to each other. When the music suddenly stops, the one who currently has the box randomly pulls out one of the objects from it, which he must put on himself and not take it off for half an hour after that. And the competition continues. The process of this competition and the view of the audience after it are best filmed - it will make a very funny video.

Forecast for future life
First you need to prepare 4 glasses, into which you need to pour regular boiled water. Pour a little sugar into the first glass, add a spoonful of salt into the second, add a little lemon juice into the third, and a small amount of chloramphenicol into the fourth. The bride and groom must choose one of the glasses together.
If they choose a glass of water sweetened with sugar, their family life will be sweet and romantic.
If with medicine - bitter, and they must solve their problems, as is customary at a wedding - with kisses.
If the newlyweds chose water with salt, their life together will be salty, spicy and interesting.

Compatibility test for the groom
The husband is obliged to prove that he is suitable for his beloved much more than any other man on earth. On the table, a photo of the young wife is placed in the center, and several photographs with other men, including a photo of the husband, are laid out face down in a circle.
The newlywed takes the photographs one by one, turns them over and places them next to the photograph of his wife.
If the elongated photo is not his, he must come up with three reasons why this man is not suitable for the bride. Next, the groom takes the photo again. When a guy comes across his photo, he must provide irrefutable evidence of why he is the perfect match for the bride.
Competition for the bride: Guess your loved one by voice
For the competition you will need a bride and a helium balloon. The bride is blindfolded or turns her back to the guests. After this, men are called out of the hall one by one, saying three simple words “I love you”, changing their own voices with the help of helium. Among the men summoned there should, of course, be the groom. The bride's task is to recognize the groom's voice.
"Sew on a button"
People have come up with various funny competitions at corporate events for the New Year, for example, this one. You need to assemble two teams of 4 people, and line up all team members one behind the other. On the chairs standing next to each participant, you need to place a large fake button cut out of cardboard. At 5-6 meters there are large spools with twine wound on them. The first team member needs to unwind the string, thread it into a knitting needle and pass the tool to the participant standing behind him, whose task is to sew on the button. The next team members do the same. The work begins after the leader’s signal, and the team that completes the task first wins.
