A wedding is not only marriage registration and feasting, but also an entertainment program. What else, besides music, fits so organically into the cheerful and noisy atmosphere of the festival? Music competitions at weddings are the most popular. They do not require specific skills or abilities, because popular musical compositions are heard everywhere.
Regardless of whether the bride and groom choose a traditional celebration or prefer a more informal setting, there are many music competitions to suit each style of celebration.
Competitions for newlyweds
Beautiful life
At the beginning of the competition, the presenter asks those gathered what material values they can wish for the young people. Someone will definitely name: house, car, yacht, dacha, money. Those who guess one of these words must raise their hand.
At the end of the survey, those who guessed correctly and the newlyweds are invited to the center of the hall. Each participant must show what he wished. The presenter asks first to demonstrate how they will show it and to direct the process. Each participant has their own short excerpt from the song. During the action, the young people take pictures with the competition participants.
- House. The participant must stand behind the young people and make a roof over their heads with their hands. Music track: “Under the roof of your house” by Yu. Antonov.
- Car. The participant sits on a chair and pretends to be a driver. Driver gloves and a helmet can be used as props. Music track: "Crazy Frog".
- Yacht. The participant portrays the captain of the ship, standing at the helm. You can use a smoking pipe and a captain's cap. Music track: “Yacht, sail” by V. Strykalo.
- Country house. You need to depict something dacha - digging a vegetable garden, for example. Props - a children's shovel or rake, gloves, sunglasses and a hat. Music track: “What a wonderful day, I’m not too lazy to work...” from m/f.
- Money. The participant is given a wad of “money”. He can scatter it over the heads of the young, making it “rain money.” Music track: “Money, money, money” gr. ABBA.
At the end of the competition, you need to take a group posed photo with the track “We wish you happiness.”
School of Etiquette
The presenter explains that there are different situations in life. Conflicts arise in which it is important to find a compromise. The main thing is not to stoop to throwing hurtful words in the heat of the moment, which you may later regret.
Newlyweds are invited to undergo a crash course in etiquette. And, if there is a bad word on the tip of your tongue, replace it with the name of the flower. To do this, young people, with the help of tips from guests, write 5 names of flowers on a piece of whatman paper. The groom – with feminine names, the wife – with masculine names.
Next, the presenter reads out conflict situations for each of the newlyweds and writes down the answers. Young people must choose from five flower options the one they will use in a similar situation.
Cutting for a musical wedding report
Scenario of an interesting music competition “Wedding Report”:
Toastmaster: Dear guests! Today we have witnessed a significant event - the birth of a new wonderful family, the joining of two halves into one whole. Let us celebrate this celebration so that it will be remembered for a long time and so that descendants will be told about it (the line “And this wedding happened” from the song of Muslim Magomayev sounds).
— Yes, it’s an important event, but I’d like to know more about its history, right? The Wheel of Fortune began to spin at the moment when, in... a year in a glorious city... a boy named... He was a wonderful baby, and so that everyone knew about it, he constantly spoke (it sounds like “I’m a good boy” from the song of the group Ruki Vverkh).
- And he specified what exactly he was good at (sounds “I play, I dance”).
- And a few years later, not far away, in (the city where the bride was born), a sweet girl was born, a cheerful laugher (children's laughter starts).
-But this girl’s plans and dreams were far from jokes (sounds like “And I’m an exemplary girl” from the song “Hooligan” by the group Podruga).
-And so, years later, the paths of a boy and a girl crossed, and (bride’s name) heard something touching (“You’re so beautiful,” by Quest Pistols).
-To which she reciprocated (sounds “You are so beautiful”, Bianca, song “A che che”).
-And it started spinning... (“This is love, I know for sure – this is love”, Alena Sviridova, “Poor Sheep”).
-The lovers could not get enough of each other, they firmly decided to get married, and responded to their parents’ warnings (“Mom, this is love,” track Gommoro).
-Parents gave in, looking at the happy eyes of their children, blessed the newlyweds and began preparing for the wedding celebration. The groom flew with happiness on the wings of love and constantly sang (the sound is “Bride, you are my bride” by Yegor Creed).
-And now the long-awaited wedding day has arrived (“Tili-tili dough, bride and groom”, track Lx24)
-Don’t forget about the honored guests of today’s celebration - the witness and the witness (a line of the song from the film “The Bremen Town Musicians” - “Our role is honorable and enviable”).
-Let’s listen to parting words from the parents (they give a speech, after which “Advice and Love” sounds, VIA “Blue Bird”).
-We welcome all other guests - friends, relatives. Without you, this grandiose event simply would not have taken place (the song “We wish you happiness” by the group Flowers sounds).
-From this day on, everyone present is close people to each other. Let the first common thing of this large and friendly family be applause and, of course... Bitterness! (the voices of the guests are heard, and then the track “Bitter”, Maria Bogomolova, the bride and groom kiss).
Everybody dance! Musical competitions for wedding guests - fun and interesting
“Oh, this wedding, wedding, wedding sang and danced...” It is simply impossible to imagine a banquet without songs and dances, because musical accompaniment is an important part of any celebration. In addition, it is customary to break up the long wedding feast with competitions. In this article we will look at what interesting music competitions there are for weddings.
Why do we need entertainment? The competition program is an important part of any wedding; with its help you can create a fun and relaxed atmosphere at the holiday.
How to prepare music competitions yourself
It is competitions, games and sweepstakes that create the most vivid impressions of a wedding, so their preparation requires special attention. Funny performances, original prizes, cheerful music - these are the main components of the holiday, on which its atmosphere and the mood of the guests depend.
There are many special sites where you can download competition scripts and musical accompaniment completely free of charge.
It is imperative to film all the interesting moments of the wedding in order to leave an unforgettable memory of the wedding.
Types of interesting entertainment
Typically, such entertainment is divided into individual and team. Depending on the location, there are two types of music competitions for guests and newlyweds.
- Table parties - they are held without leaving the table. The purpose of such competitions is to diversify the feast, take a break between toasts, make guests smile and get to know each other.
- Competitions in the hall. They are distinguished by a significant degree of activity. As a rule, for such competitions you need not just to sing some kind of melody, but also to dance or perform some other action to the music.
Based on the degree of involvement, the following can be distinguished.
- Competitions for everyone. Such competitions should dominate the program, because to create the right atmosphere at a wedding, it is necessary that no one gets bored or feels deprived of attention. Monitoring this is one of the responsibilities of the leader. For this reason, the competition program is always drawn up taking into account the age and interests of those invited.
- Competitions for the bride and groom. Be sure to include a couple of competitions in the program for the main heroes of the occasion.
- Competitions for witnesses , as well as for father-in-law/mother-in-law/father-in-law. At every wedding there are separate categories of guests who are usually distinguished from others. Usually this is a friend of the groom and a friend of the bride, as well as the parents of the newlyweds. As a rule, the toastmaster includes one competition in the program specifically for them.
Important! Competitions at a wedding should be varied. Alternate intellectual and entertaining, table and active competitions.
Types of competitions with music for weddings
Based on the method of holding, competitions are divided into two types.
- Dinners. These competitions allow guests to relax, create a relaxed atmosphere and a positive mood. Simple tasks help guests get to know each other.
- Held in the hall. Such competitions are the most fun and exciting. They are held for two participants or for teams. There are gaming, song and dance competitions.
If you plan to hold competitions outside the wedding table at the wedding, you should select a room taking into account the fact that it should be spacious enough. In a cramped room, team competitions will turn into pandemonium, this must be taken into account.
Table
Many music competitions can be held without leaving the table.
- Remember the song. Guests take turns remembering and singing wedding-themed songs. If you delve into your memory, you can remember a lot of such songs. The winner is the participant who sang last and did not repeat the songs of the previous guests.
- Musical questions. Another team competition in which one team asks a question with a line from a song, and the second team must answer it with a line from another song. For example, the question “I asked the ash tree where my beloved is?” Answer: “Where the maple tree rustles over the river wave.”
- Musical hat. First you need to “cut” the melodies of popular songs and prepare a hat. The host puts it on the heads of the guests one by one and asks tricky questions, and the hat gives funny musical answers.
"Miracle Hat"
Who participates: guests, bride and groom, their parents.
Props: hat, recordings of musical phrases from songs.
The toastmaster introduces everyone to a “miracle hat” that can “read minds.” Then he brings the headdress one by one to the head of the bride, the groom, their parents, one of the guests and asks what he is thinking about. A soundtrack with a fragment of a song immediately plays loudly. For example: “Why did you come to our collective farm, why did you disturb my peace?”
The competition requires thorough preparation - you need to prepare a lot of soundtracks in advance. But it usually goes off with a bang.
For the hall
For these competitions, participants need to get up from the table and go to the presenter.
- Guess the melody. This popular game can now be used to hold competitions at weddings. The invitees are divided into two teams; To guess the melody, one participant from each of them is chosen in turn. The team that managed to guess the most songs wins.
- Congratulations to the young people. Two teams also take part in this competition - each of them is given a sheet of words, and they must, in a short time, come up with a song in which these words will be used, and then perform it.
- Song competition. Participants of the competition stand in a circle facing each other. One participant sings a verse from any song, the next must immediately sing a verse from another song containing at least one word from the text of the previous participant. Anyone who could not do this or got lost is eliminated from the competition.
Cool TOP 11
Best Recognition
The essence of the competition is that guests compete to see who can type the most pleasant phrases (preferably from songs) for their other half. All this is done impromptu, to the tune of a playing melody.
Interesting! A loved one or loved one can also be imaginary. The newlyweds are given the role of judge.
The melodies chosen are very different - rhythmic, cheerful, sentimental. It turns out very interesting when the competition participants sing compliments to their other halves, and the music suddenly stops. In such a situation, the most important thing is not to get confused and continue the serenade!
Guess the melody
A well-known competition where guests must guess the melody. Despite its widespread popularity, most guests perceive the offer to participate in this competition with liveliness and enthusiasm .
It will be interesting if you prepare in advance not just a melody, but musical recordings-confusions. For example, the words from the song “Everything for You” are heard with a completely different melody. The contestants' task is to guess which song's melody is included in such a phonogram.
turnip
As you know, the fairy-tale turnip was pulled by its “tail”; the same “tail” is not difficult to find in songs. The last words of each line of the first verse act as the tail. For example, in the typical song “Wedding” the last words sound like: “be silent...”, “sad”, “mochi...” and “silence...”.
Important! Not all songs are easy to guess, so you should prepare at least 10 options. You can make a selection of more, but you shouldn’t get carried away so as not to bore your guests with the monotony.
As for the “tails,” they are pre-written on beautiful cards and laid out on a tray. It is noteworthy that both teams and individual participants can play.
Song requests
Such a competition is very successful when applications from guests are generated in advance . Applications are needed in order to understand what songs the guests want to perform. For example, the father-in-law loves the composition “Why the Soul Sings,” so he indicates it in advance in the application.
Such requests must be made in writing. It’s great if you manage to decorate them beautifully. Then the applications are laid out on the wedding table and await their turn.
When the feast has already begun and the guests are having fun, you can arrange a kind of sports lotto , when guests choose one or another application. After the selection, the applicant’s request is voiced, and the guests perform the ordered song.
Brain workout
This competition can be classified as table competitions. Its advantage is that it can be carried out both individually and for teams .
The toastmaster invites guests to sing all the songs that can be related to the wedding theme. The winner is the participant or team who sang the wedding song last.
Congratulations to the newlyweds
For such a table competition, two teams are needed .
The presenter gives all participants sheets of paper with words, after which in 5 minutes they need to compose a song with congratulations for the newlyweds . You can only use words that are written on paper. And the winners of the competition are chosen by the heroes of the occasion.
Advice! Instead of composing the song again, you can remake a popular hit by inserting the resulting words into it.
Dance over the abyss
Guests should be divided into pairs, each pair is given a newspaper. Music plays and couples dance, but so as not to step over the edge of the newspaper.
After the first song, the newspaper is folded in half and the competition continues. The couple that steps over the edge of the newspaper is eliminated. The competition continues until there is only one couple left who managed to “dance over the abyss,” that is, not to step over the edge of the newspaper. She receives a well-deserved prize.
Revelations
Teams must take part in such a competition, not individual participants, otherwise the competition will lose its entertainment value.
The essence of this cool competition is that the first team asks a question to its opponents with a line from a song. The second team’s task is to answer with a line from another song , and the meaning of the answer should correspond as much as possible to the question.
For example:
- question: “Where are you, my dark-eyed one?”;
- answer: “There, beyond the mists, eternal, drunken...”
Talking hat
The toastmaster brings a certain headdress to the bride’s head, which is supposedly capable of reading the newlywed’s thoughts. The toastmaster asks the bride what she is thinking about at the moment, and at this time music is broadcast that expresses the thoughts of the bride.
Interesting! Such a prank can be done not only with the bride, but also with all interested guests.
The Talking Hat competition has several options, but in any interpretation, bursts of laughter are guaranteed.
Humorina
The presenter invites everyone to take part in a music quiz. Those interested are divided into two teams. The toastmaster asks questions that must be answered within 5 seconds.
Examples of questions:
- pop star of the Russian stage, was the husband of a grandmother, but not a grandfather himself (Phillipa Kirkorov);
- a song that sounds like a confession that the performer has gone crazy (“I’ve lost my mind”);
- a song about a hopelessly ugly girl (“Why are you so scary”);
- a musical duet that featured a spectacular woman who was not afraid to appear funny, and a plump man, sweet and funny (“Cabaret Duet Academy”).
Musical instruments
The “Musical Instruments” competition is one of the most interesting and original. The idea is that the guests are divided into pairs (boy/girl), after which the man sits on a chair and is invited to use his partner like some kind of musical instrument.
For example, the presenter says that the girl should play the role of a guitar or piano, and here you can show all your imagination and creativity. All this is accompanied by appropriate musical accompaniment, funny remarks from the host and guests.
Not only people who know each other well can participate in the competition. If it is held a few hours after the start of the celebration, when the guests have relaxed under the influence of strong drinks, then strangers will be more willing to take part in the entertainment. Often, acquaintance during the competition turns into preparation for the next wedding.
It's especially fun when a couple is tasked with playing the accordion - sometimes the guests perform something that will take your breath away! And the winner is the one who, by popular vote, is recognized as the best virtuoso of using a girl as a musical instrument.
Important! There are definitely no losers in this competition, since both participants and spectators enjoy it.
For any celebration
Dancing is an integral part of any wedding. Guests can simply dance or take part in a fun musical competition.
- Dancing on the newspaper. Participants are divided into pairs; each couple dances on a newspaper laid out on the floor. Gradually the task becomes more complicated - the newspaper is folded first 2 times, then 4 times. A team that leaves the “field” is eliminated from the competition.
- Dances of the peoples of the world. Usually, 2 teams of 3-4 participants each are selected for this competition. They must dance to the music of different countries and styles - Lezginka, tap dancing, gypsy dance, hula, etc. In addition, the presenter gives the dancers additional props - for example, flippers.
- Dancing on command. Participants are divided into pairs, and the leader commands what they need to do in the dance - for example, connect their right legs, press back to back, take their partner’s right ear with their left hand, etc.
For small spaces and older people
It is difficult to implement the idea of a noisy mass competition in a small space. In addition, people in adulthood are no longer ready to be as active as young guests. In this case, song competitions are suitable, which will set a festive mood among young people and guests of the older generation.
Such competitions involve completing simple tasks. You can divide the audience into teams - one side of the table against the other, etc. These games allow you to create an atmosphere of closeness and shared joy between those present.
For a themed celebration
Recently, themed celebrations have come into fashion - weddings in a certain color or style. If you are planning to hold just such a celebration, at least some of the music competitions should be related to the chosen topic.
Important! When choosing a wedding venue, pay special attention to the size of the hall and the availability of free space for dances and competitions, because some of them may require a large area. By the way, in this article we have collected the best song competitions.
Show your imagination! For any wedding in retro style, you can hold a competition related to the musical traditions of the chosen era. For a wedding in a certain color - sing or dance to those songs that mention the desired color or objects of this color.
A wedding in a nautical style, a pirate wedding, a wedding in the “Scarlet Sails” style give a lot of scope for imagination - after all, there are a lot of songs related to the sea. Having decided on the theme, think about how to connect musical accompaniment and music competitions at the wedding with it.
Preparation
In order for the competition to be successful, it is necessary to think about the smallest details, because if the music stops at the climax, it will not be easy to correct the mistake.
Equipment
If there is musical equipment in the establishment where the banquet is planned, then you need to carefully check its condition and technical capabilities in advance
.
You shouldn’t rely on the administrator’s assurances that “everything is fine.” It’s better not to be lazy, come to a cafe or restaurant first and check everything
:
- settings;
- the number of electrical outlets required;
- Are the wires long enough?
Props
If props are needed for wedding music competitions, they must be prepared in the required quantities. It's better to stock up on props in abundance
than to then regret the lack. Take into account force majeure: something can break, tear, fly away, get wet, so a reserve will not hurt.
Repertoire
The age category of the guests must be taken into account.
If the vast majority are older, then it is unlikely that those present will be delighted with Yegor Creed and club music.
It’s great if you can find out in advance the musical preferences of the majority
. It is not necessary to play his favorite song for everyone - with a large number of guests this is hardly possible. But if many people, for example, love Russian chanson, then the task of the organizers of the music competition becomes much easier.
Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to choose a musical accompaniment that everyone would like at once. But if you study the preferences of the guests in advance, then their favorite melodies can be played in turn or made into a medley
so that no one is left without their favorite song and wants to take part in the competition.
Tips for choosing
- Focus on the musical preferences of your guests. If this is a youth wedding, then it is hardly worth including accordion songs or Russian folk songs in the program. This kind of competition might go off with a bang once, but it’s unlikely to happen again.
- Keep it in moderation. Competitions are rightly considered the best entertainment for any wedding, but if you force guests to complete tasks for a long time without a break, it can cause dissatisfaction.
- It is ideal to include game blocks of 15-20 minutes in the program (2-3 competitions, no more) with breaks for dancing, toasts and everything else. But even if on paper everything seemed ideal, but in fact the guests are already tired and are performing tasks “under pressure” - a good host should immediately change the program, because his main task at any wedding is to maintain a good mood among everyone present, not allow irritation or boredom to occur.
- Say no to platitudes. Everyone knows the traditional wedding competitions that have long set their teeth on edge: if you attend 10 different weddings, at 8-9 of them the program may consist of 90% of the same “terribly funny” tasks.
- Don’t be lazy and find original ideas for competitions for your wedding - your guests will thank you for it.
- For competitions where participants must guess the melody or sing a song, choose only well-known musical compositions in Russian. Prepare microphones, soundtracks, tape recorder, etc. in advance. Check that everything works without failures or hiccups. Don't forget to also prepare prizes for the winners.
Table game at a wedding “Musical report”. Options.
A wedding is traditionally considered one of the most joyful holidays. And yet, the organizers should remember that very often many of those gathered at the celebration still do not know each other well, or even see each other for the first time, and therefore at the beginning of the banquet program it is important to hold table games to get to know each other, warm up and lift the mood. One of the options for easy and fun entertainment at the table can be musical predictions, guessing games or reports that use pre-prepared cuts from compositions that suit the meaning. We offer a time-tested and popular version of this type of entertainment – the Wedding Table Game “Musical Report”.
Such a game can be played in different ways in the form of a piquant dialogue between guests using the funniest and most popular excerpts from songs, in the form of introducing guests, when the excerpts are specially selected so as to at least pre-introduce those present to each other. From “A musical report, you can also arrange simply light entertainment in the form of a dialogue between the host and guests, leading to a general toast or congratulations. But the most successful form is a report that tells the story of the heroes of the occasion, and the more hits, the more interesting, so any ready-made version of the “Musical Report” should be perceived as a template, to which changes are made before each event, taking into account the specific facts and characteristics of the company.
Summary
Time will pass and guests will forget how many salads and hot dishes were on the menu at your wedding, but they will never forget what emotions they felt that day. Ultimately, this is why newlyweds spend time and money on organizing a wedding banquet instead of just going and signing at the registry office.
The bride and groom want to make a holiday for themselves and give it to others. A good mood is the only thing that matters at any wedding. Interesting and fun music competitions for weddings for guests and newlyweds will help you create the right atmosphere and hold the celebration at the highest level.
Musical revelations
This is a very fun competition. One of the teams must ask a question to one of the lines of the song, and must hear the answer from their opponents. If you combine funny lines, the competition becomes very funny.
For example: Team 1: “Where are you, Scarlet Star?”
Team 2: “And I’m in heaven, my dear in heaven.”
And this continues until one of the teams raises the white flag.
Thanks to the wide variety of competitions, you can do without a toastmaster and have a great holiday. The most important goal is to amuse the participants and spectators. In order for guests to feel as comfortable as possible, you need to pay attention to witty competitions. It is very important that they are cheerful with notes of kindness and light. Thus, they will create a warm atmosphere, which should always accompany the wedding celebration. After such an eventful event, a huge amount of positive emotions will remain, and the newlyweds will remember this long-awaited day for the rest of their lives.
Just a few years ago, active competitions were popular at anniversaries and weddings, where guests had to run, jump and even lift weights. Now guests do not want to perform unnecessary movements, they prefer to relax and enjoy the holiday. How then to entertain guests? New music competitions for a cheerful company will help you, in which, to the sound of cheerful music, guests will do things that will cause laughter and fun. With such competitions, your holiday will be a great success, and you will get maximum pleasure.
An interesting competition - guess the song.
Yes, many people know this competition, but we invite you to play it a little differently. How? Like this: the host shows a smiley face, and the guests must choose the most suitable song to go with it. This game is based on the example of a game from one popular TV show that airs on Channel One. Here are emoticons for example and for the competition:
Competition - conductor.
Do you know who a conductor is? This is a man who, by waving his hands, makes the musicians play a beautiful melody. And our conductor will make the guests sing! The essence of the competition is simple and clear. Guests come out in the amount of 5-9 people. They stand in one line, and opposite them stands the leader, who will be the conductor. Any famous song without words is turned on, that is, karaoke. And the guests begin to sing it in chorus, while the conductor waves his hands, as if showing who is in charge. As soon as the conductor stops waving his arms, the guests should stop singing. Or rather, they should sing the song to themselves. After all, after a while, the conductor will start waving his arms again, and the guests will have to continue singing. The conductor's task is to confuse the guests and therefore he needs to change the rhythm of his movements.
Music competition – question and answer.
Teams participate in the competition. Each team has 3-7 participants. The bigger, the better. The game is played according to the following rules: the first team sings a line from any song. But not just a line, but a question line. For example, “what have you done, put on a white dress.” And the second team must, after 20-30 seconds, answer the question with a line from another song, for example, “is it my fault that my voice trembled.” The team's task is to answer funnier questions. For example: - why are you standing there swinging, white rowan... The answer is: - the wind was blowing from the sea, the wind was blowing from the sea...
Competition - drunken songs.
This competition will really appeal to all guests, especially those who are already tipsy. The task is simple - remember the songs. In which any alcoholic drink is mentioned. For example: - a glass of vodka on the table... - if the sea were beer... And so on. And it’s not easy to remember, but also to sing a song in karaoke.
Music competition - end of the song.
For the competition you need to prepare cards on which the last lines of songs and verses will be written. Exactly the last lines! We divide the guests into teams of 3-4 people and play. Each team takes out one card and reads their ending to the song. Their task is to remember what kind of song it is and sing it from beginning to end. If you can’t sing, then just name the song.
Competition - show a song.
This competition is known to everyone and many have already played it. But, nevertheless, interest in the competition does not disappear. The main thing in the competition is to choose interesting lines from the songs. And it plays simply. On cards, write lines from the songs you want to show. Guests take out cards and show this song in action. And the guests must guess what is being shown to them. Examples of songs to show: - and I recognize a sweetheart by his gait. - my grandmother smokes a pipe. - do not put salt on my wound. - what did you do, put on a white dress. - I will move to London.

Not a single special event can take place without musical accompaniment, especially when it comes to a wedding. With the help of music, both guests and newlyweds have the opportunity to relax and have a lot of fun.
And it’s great if the entertainment program includes original music competitions, and their organization is approached responsibly. In this case, no one will remain indifferent: regardless of age and social status, if the repertoire is chosen correctly, everyone will want to take part in the game.
The beauty of holding music competitions at a wedding for guests and newlyweds is that the games can be very different
.
For young people
Young guests will probably like it more - cheerful, incendiary and arousing excitement. Two or more people can take part in them. But mass competitions where the maximum number of guests participate are especially successful: up to several dozen in each team.
When choosing outdoor competitions, it is important to consider
:
- age and status of guests;
- the place where the competition is planned to be held.
For small rooms and older guests
If there is not enough space in the hall or the overwhelming number of guests are elderly, then it is worth choosing song competitions. They will cheer up the newlyweds and guests and will definitely not let them get bored.
When holding table music competitions, you can offer not only singing songs, but also ask them to perform simple team tasks
– the right side of the table against the left, the table of the groom’s guests against the table of the bride’s guests, etc. Such games help those present to get to know each other better and create an atmosphere of joy and fun, which is so important at a wedding.
The music connected all the guests!
What's a holiday without music? And if the music is live and songs are performed by guests, it’s doubly fun . There are a huge number of singing competitions for weddings. Here are some of them:
"Musical Cacophony"
Two people are invited to participate. The presenter gives each of them a task - to perform a song, but these songs must be different for the participants. They simultaneously begin to sing as loudly and expressively as possible , and the one who doesn’t get lost even once (or stumbles the least number of times and sings the song louder) wins.
"Book of Song Records"
Teams of several people compete in the competition. It is even possible for all guests to participate in it, but they must be divided into two groups: maximalists (or simply maxi) and minimalists (aka mini ) .
The first team must perform the most:
- hot,
- wet,
- sunny,
- collective,
- sea,
- air,
- domestic,
- passionate,
- loud,
- women's,
- nursery,
- smart,
- a funny song.
After each performance of the maximalists, their rivals must, in contrast to them, sing the opposites of their hits, namely the most:
- cold,
- dry,
- lunar,
- single,
- land,
- earthly,
- foreign,
- boring,
- quiet,
- male,
- adult,
- stupid
- sad song accordingly.
The winner is the group that comes up with all the proposed song options. If the teams scored an equal number of points, you can arrange an additional round : remember the largest number of “most wedding” songs.
Question answer
The next competition is “Musical Questions and Answers” . Its essence is that one visiting team asks the opponents a question in the form of a line (or several lines) from any song , and they, in turn, must answer it with words from another hit. For example, to the question “Why do birch trees make so much noise in Russia?” you can answer: “Because it’s impossible, because it’s impossible, because it’s impossible to be so beautiful in the world!”
Guess the melody
This competition has been known to everyone for a long time. To conduct this entertainment, you need to recruit two teams with an equal number of people. Then, prepare incentive prizes and two chairs. First, participants sit on chairs, then music is played, if one of them knows the answer, they can give a clap or knock signal. If the answer is not correct, then the second participant is given the right to answer; in case of a positive result, the winner is given a prize. After everyone has answered, the number of gifts for each team is counted and then the winner is announced.
Sweet competitions
Games using candies and other sweets are also very popular at weddings. You can choose any of the following options. Each of them is interesting in its own way and will be great entertainment for guests.
"Sweet Congratulations"
For this competition you need to choose two people. Each of them first puts one lollipop in his mouth and must then say : “Happy wedding day to you, dear newlyweds! I wish you happiness, love and prosperity." Then the task becomes more complicated : another candy is added to the previous one, and the participants must say the same phrase again. Then they repeat the same action with three candies, after that with four, and so on, increasing. The winner is the player who put the most sweets into his mouth and congratulated the spouses most legibly .
"Candy Kiss"
In this competition, guests compete in pairs “boy - girl”. Couples must grab the candy from opposite sides with their lips and dance together without letting go or eating it. If there are several winners left after the first dance, you can continue the competition for them for several more songs until the last winning couple remains.
"Conjugal Favors"
Competition for the bride and groom. He is given an empty candy box, and she, accordingly, is given candy.
For example, “my sweet candy,” “my sweet pie,” “my sweet caramel,” etc. For each named sweet, the wife gives him a candy, which he puts in a box. When the box is completely filled, the spouse must kiss her chosen one as many times as there are chocolates in the box .
Competitions held in the hall
When preparing for active competitions, it is necessary to prepare suitable props.
You may need balloons, children's musical instruments, clothespins, newspapers, etc. When the newlyweds have danced their first dance, and the guests have relaxed and gotten comfortable, it's time to start holding active musical competitions, for example:
- Dancing couples. Pairs of participants are invited to slow dance on a newspaper. During the dance, the music stops and the newspaper is folded in half each time. The winner is the couple that lasts the longest without stepping over the edge of the newspaper.
- "Gophers and minks." Any number of female participants (preferably 8-10) and one more guy are invited. The girls stand in a circle with their backs inward, and the guys are located outside the circle facing the girls. While the music is playing, the guys must move in a circle one after another, and when the music stops, they, like gophers, must hide in a hole, that is, hide their heads between the girl’s knees. The "gopher", who did not have enough "mink", leaves the game, taking one of the girls with him. The most dexterous “gopher” and the most comfortable “mink” win.
- Musical applications. The host asks each guest in advance what song he wants to hear. In addition, you need to find out who should perform it and why this particular person will sing it. Having received such a request, guests almost never refuse to perform the song.
- "Turnip" . This competition is based on the principle of a famous fairy tale. You need to select 10 famous songs about wedding or love and write down on separate cards the words that end all the lines of the first verse of each song. Using these “tails,” participants must guess the song.
These competitions may seem a little boring, but they are not. Many guests always take part in them, and the rest actively support them.
No way without balloons!
Since childhood, any holiday has been accompanied by balloons. Despite the fact that a wedding is an adult holiday, it is also impossible to do without this attribute of fun and good mood. You can organize any of the following competitions:
"Thread of Love"
In this game, participants are divided into pairs. Each couple must hold a balloon between their bodies and walk together under a string stretched between the chairs without dropping it. With each round the thread goes lower and lower. The pair that drops the ball is eliminated from the competition, and the one that lands at the lowest height wins.
"Air Football"
Participants are divided into two teams. Each of them has an empty plastic bottle on a string tied to their belt. The distance from the bottle to the floor should be 10-15 centimeters. The players' task is to drive a ball in the form of a balloon into the goal drawn in chalk on the floor . The team that scores the most goals in the allotted time wins.
"An explosion of emotions"
This is a game familiar to us from childhood, when participants have balloons tied to their feet, and they must burst the maximum number of balloons of the opposing team, while keeping as many of their own safe and sound as possible. This is a fun, dynamic game that will greatly amuse participants of any age.
Battle of fashion designers
For the wedding, all the guests gather especially carefully: they buy new outfits, jewelry, and do beautiful hairstyles. Therefore, the topic of clothing and appearance in general at this holiday is especially relevant.
"The Longest Tie"
A competition for couples in which the girl must tie a tie made of toilet paper around the guy's neck . It can be either a butterfly, a bow, or a regular tie. But the difficulty of the task is that the girl must use the entire roll of toilet paper . How she will handle it, how many times she will wrap it around her partner’s neck or how many meters she will stretch it across the hall - all this depends on her imagination. And the author of the most stylish tie, in the opinion of the audience, will receive from her partner a number of kisses equal to the number of times she wrapped the tie around his neck .
"Beauty Club"
Also a pair competition, but this time the male half of the team acts as the designer. The girl holds a ball of ribbon in her hands, and the guy takes the end of it with his teeth and must wrap his partner with this ribbon without using his hands to create some kind of item of clothing . It doesn’t matter what it will be - a skirt, top, dress or bra. The main thing is that the “designer” invests in the allotted time, and his “model” looks stylish . Upon completion of creating the image, you can arrange a comic fashion show , during which the audience will determine the winners with applause.
"Dress someone else"
Another competition in which participants are divided into teams of two. But, unlike previous games, they do not have to come up with an outfit for their partner, but simply put any item of clothing on him . The difficulty of the task is that the person who performs this “mission” will do it blindfolded . Such a competition will not only amuse the participants themselves, but will also greatly lift the spirits of the guests watching this action.
"Wallpaper Dress"
And this is a team competition. It involves groups of 5 people. Each team is given a roll of any wallpaper, scissors and rope . In the allotted time, they must build a dress using these materials and put it on one of the team members (this does not have to be a girl; a wallpaper dress on a man will cause a lot of laughter among the audience and will greatly entertain the participants of the competition).
"Road of Happiness"
Also a team competition, but this time - for stripping . Each participant must take off any item of clothing (you can even use accessories - belts, laces, jewelry), and all these things must be laid out in one line . The team that built the longer “road” emerges from the competition as the winner.
Dance competitions
Without them, as well as without musical ones, not a single event took place. For such a competition you will definitely need props. Consider one of the options called “Dancing for the Lazy.”
You need to select five participants and acquire the same number of chairs. Then seat everyone in their places. Participants need to dance while sitting on a chair and as rhythmically as possible; the slowest participants are eliminated.
When there are four people left, the task becomes more complicated, and the participants must perform a dynamic dance without the help of their legs, then their hands. The finalists need to prepare for the most difficult task. They will have to dance only with facial expressions. The best performer will be the winner. One has only to imagine funny faces in such an unusual competition and one already becomes joyful.
A very funny competition “Musical Instruments”, the essence of the competition is that one person from the pair is an instrument, and the second must play it. It will require several pairs, each depicting its own subject; it looks very funny and will cheer up all the guests. It is worth downloading several melodies of the violin or other musical instruments that will be used in the competition, they will be needed for its dubbing.
We transfer items!
Both small teams and all guests, divided into two groups: one half - the invited grooms, the second - the brides, can take part in competitions for the transfer of objects. You can come up with a lot of variations of such games. Here are a few of them:
“A magpie in heels brought it”
Girls participate in this game. They are divided into two teams, line up in two lines, and within the allotted time they must pass each other a plastic bracelet , which symbolizes the news of the wedding. The difficulty of the competition is that the participants pass the jewelry without using their hands - it is hung on the heel of the first of them, and she must throw it on the heel of her neighbor . The team that completes the task faster wins.
"Fire of Love"
The item being passed on in this competition is a matchbox cover . Guests can play this game without leaving the table. The first participant places the lid tightly on his nose, then he attaches it to his neighbor’s nose without using his hands , and he passes it on in the same way. You can complicate the task by placing a candle and a box of matches without a lid at the finishing end of the table . The last participant to reach the lid removes it from his nose and uses it to light a match from the box and a candle. The team that completed the task first wins.
"Pass the ring"
A competition in which participants pass a bagel to each other by placing it on their neighbor's finger . Moreover, you cannot use the other fingers to help. The last participant must also eat this bagel . Find out your soul mate! At any wedding it is impossible to do without competitions for the bride and groom to recognize each other:
Musical game "Noise Makers".

6. Musical warm-up.
Remember the KVN “Warm-up” competition, and arrange the same improvisation at the festival, only not from jokes, but from songs. Teams must exchange questions and answers from songs, i.e. one team remembers a question line from songs, the other an affirmative line that matches the meaning. Then they change roles. For example, the question: “Why are you standing there, swaying, thin rowan?”, the answer: “I’m drunk and drunk, I won’t make it home!” Or: “Where are you, Marusya, who are you walking with?” - “...I’m walking home along the sleepers, again walking home along the sleepers out of habit.”
You can play until your imagination runs out.
7. Musical compliments.
The program of any holiday, and especially a corporate one, can include a musical exchange of compliments between the male and female half of the room. This is very simple to do: the female team remembers flattering lines from songs about men, and the men, on the contrary, sing excerpts from songs that can be regarded as compliments to the ladies. And one by one they begin to exchange these musical compliments.
As an example of praise to gentlemen, the presenter can recite the following lines from A. Sviridova’s song:
“How good! You can trust a man!
How good! And don’t think about anything!”
Like a song nod to beautiful ladies - a verse from Yu. Antonov’s hit:
“Attention, men! There is no reason to laugh!
Today, women are a match for us in every task,
And we, of our own free will, teach the roles of others,
The winner is the team that names the most musical compliments within ten minutes, although there is no need to count, let friendship win.
This stream of song compliments can be directed in one direction, for example, on the women's holiday on March 8, you can arrange a musical congratulation - a medley, which will consist of excerpts of compliment songs.
8. Song encyclopedia.
For this song rehearsal, you can divide the hall into several teams (depending on the number of guests) and prepare cards in advance with the intended themes of the songs: animals, birds, plants, travel, love, and so on. Each team draws three to five cards. Five to seven minutes are given to think.
Then, by drawing lots for themes, each team presents its musical illustrations, for example, the theme “Stones”: “Give me a moonstone”, “He has a granite pebble in his chest”, “I can do everything, I can do everything - my heart is not a stone.” It is allowed to sing either one line from a song or an entire verse or chorus. The main thing is that it corresponds to the meaning of the task.
For each answer given to the topic - a point. The winners are determined by the amount of points earned.
9. “Orchestra of virtual instruments.”
From the guests (10 - 15 people) we create an Orchestra of virtual instruments - everyone draws a card with a written instrument, each of them, of course, has a different one. Participants must depict playing instruments very expressively, so that it is clear who is playing what music.
Then the presenter explains that he will be a conductor, but also play the drum. However, the leading conductor will always “switch” to any other instrument, and the player whose instrument is currently representing the leading one must immediately stop his movements.
In this way, those “musicians” who “missed” the leader’s new movement gradually drop out of the game of the virtual orchestra. The most attentive player wins.
10. Musical ABC.
No event can be imagined without fun and funny competitions. That is why there are music competitions for weddings that will add variety to the celebration and will not make guests bored. This type of entertainment is suitable for any age group, from kids to adults. There are two types of competitions: table and energetic. Table parties can be held without getting up from the table; in addition, they will lift the spirits of the guest present and will not require active action.
Vigorous competitions have a strong difference. As a rule, they require dynamism in movements and actions. And the newlyweds face a difficult choice, based on the fact that their number is limitless. In different competitions, a certain number of participants is indicated, this means that you can choose an option in which two people, a whole team, or even all the guests present will be involved. It is worth selecting them according to age categories, some for children, others for older guests. It is very important for active competitions to have a large platform or room. Next we will discuss and select the best music competitions.
