Seating plan is the key to successful acquaintance
Once the invitations have been sent out and you have received feedback, you can begin to think through your wedding seating plan. It would seem nothing complicated. But you need to remember if there are those who do not communicate with each other or are in a quarrel. You shouldn't plant them next to each other.
On the other hand, you should consider who might have the same interests or temperaments and who would have fun spending the evening together. Pay attention to each guest in your seating plan. This will be the key to easy acquaintance of guests and pleasant communication!
Funny wedding competitions for guests
As a rule, wedding entertainment is provided by an invited toastmaster. They are included in the program of events of every professional presenter. If desired, the newlyweds can discuss the nuances, make adjustments to the holiday schedule , add or change ready-made games.
However, if you want to save money, then you can carry out such events yourself. Choose one of the funniest and most mischievous guests, draw up your own plan for holding competitions and do not forget that the person you have chosen must have not only a sense of humor and be active , but also a subtle talent as a psychologist. After all, different people are invited to the wedding.
One can simply laugh at what hurts and offends the other. Everyone present should feel comfortable
The most popular and funniest wedding competitions include:
- "Next lot." This is a kind of auction at which several lots can be offered. For example, a piece of wedding cake, a spoon that the bride used to eat, a dance with the groom or mother-in-law, etc. To diversify the competition, do not take money for the lots, replace them with fun, creative tasks. Let the participants of the game draw, sing, dance.
- "Boiled raw egg." A slightly shocking competition that evokes a storm of emotions and adrenaline. 3 girls and 3 young men are selected from the guests. The girls are given an egg, which they need to pull from top to bottom through their trouser leg. The twist is that participants are told that the egg is raw, but in fact it is hard-boiled.
- "Mummy". This is the simplest, but no less fun competition. Its conditions are to wrap your playing partner in a roll of toilet paper. This must be done as quickly and accurately as possible.
- "Limbo." Two people take the ends of the rope in their hands and pull it, leaving each other at a distance of at least one and a half meters. Participants walk under the rope to the music; whoever touches it is eliminated. At first the rope is held high, and it is not difficult to pass the test. However, with each lap it is lowered lower. The one who completes all the circles without touching the obstacle wins.
Guests having fun at a wedding
Meeting with guests
The first time all invited guests will see each other is when they arrive at the wedding. It is necessary to appoint a person responsible for meeting everyone arriving for the holiday, because from this moment the acquaintance of guests at the wedding begins.
Ideas on how to welcome guests:
- If your wedding is traditional, with a ransom, when guests arrive at the bride and groom's home separately, then you can introduce them to each other upon arrival. In this way, the guests of each party will get to know each other a little before the celebration. As a rule, the bride and groom have no time for dating at this time. Therefore, let the parents or the witness and witness at the wedding do this. Or you can ask the friendliest and most sociable relative to handle the greeting of guests.
- If you do not have a ransom, then, most likely, guests will arrive immediately to the venue of the festive evening. Then the welcome zone will be the best option. At the entrance, guests can be greeted by the wedding coordinator, parents on both sides, the host or actors, for example, funny mimes. And then let a buffet area be prepared for them. This is where first acquaintances take place!
Games for getting to know guests
A large number of people invited from the bride and groom gather at the wedding.
These are close and distant relatives or old friends, but among the guests there will also be those who have appeared in this company for the first time, and some guests simply do not know each other.
That is why, before the main fun begins, those invited to the celebration should get acquainted, and this acquaintance should not be boring or very serious.
There are several options for how to make an acquaintance in a fashionable way:
- Upon entering the hall, each adult introduces himself and names the guests who came to the holiday. It’s not enough to just introduce yourself - so that names are remembered, they are accompanied by humorous poems, sayings, and tongue twisters. It is important to choose such jokes, avoiding vulgarity.
- The bride and groom introduce themselves to those present, telling short funny stories about the interaction between the guest and the bride and groom.
- At the entrance to the banquet hall, all guests are greeted by two “gypsies”. They ask questions without answering, men and women, boys and girls introduce themselves and briefly talk about themselves. The gypsies, having learned the name of the guest, bring a glass of alcohol to the new arrivals and sing a hearty welcome song.
- Getting acquainted in the style of a festival, where the newlyweds will be given cool prizes and small souvenirs intended for their best friend, closest friend, beloved grandmother and others. Introducing each of those sitting at the tables, the young people present them with memorable souvenirs.
Dating games are played both at the table and during active communication. For this purpose there are dance and song competitions.
One of them is “Family Confession”. The rules of this fun require the participation of young people who are given soap bubbles. Guests are divided into two teams of several people. They take turns asking questions, which the bride and groom can answer using bubbles. For example: “How often will the wife let her husband go out with friends?”
The bride blows carefully, trying to blow out as few light rainbow balls as possible. Participants in the game count them and get an answer to their question . You can ask a lot. The number of bubbles is the number that will answer the question “how much”:
- How many days a year will you spend by the sea?
- Will the mother-in-law visit the newlyweds once a year?
- Will the mother-in-law spend days next to her beloved son when she comes to the newlyweds?
Team games require the participation of at least 10 people.
You can come up with the coolest and most fun entertainment in advance:
- The presenter distributes leaflets with recipes for well-known dishes to the team captains. The participants’ task: after carefully studying the list of products, guess the missing ingredient (one or more), without which it will not be possible to prepare what is planned.
- Another dating competition is “Love at First Sight.” Representatives of the fair sex, chosen by the host or who wish to take part in the game, stand in a circle. The second circle is formed by men. Participants stand with their backs to each other. A pleasant melody sounds, which ends at the sign of the presenter. The players turn to face each other and say: “You and I are now relatives, hug me quickly!” During a big hug, all players introduce themselves. Now the organizer invites everyone to turn their backs again. To the music, women take a step to the side, and men remain in the same place. When the melody stops, everyone turns 180°. Repeat the proposed phrase again and say their names. This is how men get to know all the ladies present at the holiday.
- Pre-prepared cards with original phrases and numbers are props for a very fun game. Participants are divided into 2 teams. Members of one have signs on their backs with the names of cartoon characters on them, while players of the second receive pieces of paper with the names of their faithful friends written on them. For example: Mickey Mouse and Pluto, Ariel and Sebastian (crab), Rapunzel and Pascal, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. The presenter gives the command, and the participants, to the sound of music, try to find their pairs as quickly as possible. Guests are not allowed to give hints, but it is unlikely that they will be able to resist. Observers try to help by prompting with signs, letters, and gestures. But the best assistant will be intuition.
- Dance competitions are interesting, fun competitions in which all guests, young and old, take part with pleasure. In each of these games you will not only have to dance, but while moving you will have to carry out the task received from the presenter. It is he who stands in the middle of the circle and, interrupting the dance at any moment, shows the movements that all players must repeat. This is a great way to test the reaction of guests who have consumed alcoholic beverages and to excite those who may have begun to get bored.
- One of the options to have fun with children and elders is karaoke. True, you can take part in the performance of a song only at the command of the presenter. You will have to sing not only a Russian song, the work may also belong to foreign authors. The main thing is that the pronunciation does not fail.
- For football fans and supporters of an active life, a competition has been invented that is held on the grass. It is more suitable for a summer wedding, when the banquet is held in a country area. In such fun moments, it becomes possible to engage the whole family in the game. What to do if the wedding is winter? Who will stand at the gate? Do you really need to stock up on replacement shoes? Bride and groom. Everything is very simple. It is enough to attach cards to guests’ clothes with threads and invite them to ask the most unexpected questions. One team asks the groom, and the other team asks the bride. If the goalkeeper does not give the correct answer, the team is awarded a goal.
Comic games and competitions will help those present get to know each other and tune in to the right wave.
Words of gratitude
The final part should begin with gratitude. It is important to present it sincerely and try to ensure that the words come from the heart. There are many things worth saying “thank you” for:
It is important to make it clear that every detail matters. It is not necessary to list the work of everyone; the main thing is to note not only managers, but also employees, as well as guests. They all contributed their time and effort to this event. Only with the presence of every person in this mechanism was it possible to hold an event at the highest level.
