What does a wooden wedding mean?

What kind of wedding is a wooden one, and why is it called that? The name of the 5-year anniversary is associated with a tree, which symbolizes life and fertility. In ancient times, the couple already had more than one child, but they definitely had a firstborn; it was believed that husband and wife, like trees, are intertwined with branches on which their child sleeps. And within 5 years, the couple had already managed to build their own house, furnishing it with new furniture, which should have been replenished or even updated for guests who liked a wooden wedding.

The symbol of this date – a tree – means:

stability;
reliability;
a hint of a stronger relationship that will happen by the copper or silver wedding anniversary.

Collaborative creativity

Props: easel, large sheet of paper, paints, brush, jar of water, ribbon.

And the painting itself will then become a family heirloom and an original solution for what to give for your wedding anniversary.

For the competition you will need three chairs and a handful of candies. A woman lies down on chairs, candy scatters all over her body in a chaotic manner. The man is blindfolded and blindfolded, he gets down and starts looking for candy. His goal is to collect all the candies. There may be several such pairs. The winner is the couple in which the man collects all the candies.

Competition “Newspaper” or “On the Ice Floe”.

This competition is held during dances. For each pair of participants you will need one ordinary newspaper. For each couple, there is a newspaper spread on the dance floor on which the couple must dance. To the sound of music, couples dance without leaving the newspaper. The music stops, and whoever leaves the newspaper is eliminated. The musical medley should be varied.

The winner is the couple that stays “on the ice floe” while dancing.

Competition "Balls".

This competition is also held during dances. Dancing couples take part in the competition. You need to prepare balloons in advance, according to the number of pairs. A balloon is tied to the partner's leg. The goal of the competition is that the man must protect his partner’s balloon, but at the same time pierce the balloons of other dancing couples.

Such competition is not advisable where married couples are included in the celebration. It is intended for free people, in order to avoid odious excesses.

birthday competition - "Kangaroo"

One volunteer is selected for the competition. The presenter takes him away and explains that he will have to depict a kangaroo with gestures, facial expressions, etc., but without making a sound, and everyone else must guess what kind of animal he is showing.

It is necessary to name any other animals, but not kangaroos. It should be something like: “Oh, so it’s jumping! So. It's probably a rabbit. No!? Strange, well then it’s a monkey.” If after 5 minutes the participant still does not rush at everyone shouting: “Are you morons? Can't guess a simple animal? I'll show you again! Look, idiots!”, then he truly has nerves of steel

How to celebrate a wooden wedding?

To make the event memorable for everyone, it is worth thinking through the scenario for holding a wooden wedding in advance. It is optimal to invite guests to a picnic or to a restaurant where the halls are decorated with wood. A bathhouse is also suitable for a cheerful group of young people, but then it’s worth moving so that there is a place for fun events. There are several memorable rituals that have played the role of a symbol and amulet since ancient times:

Choose the most beautiful tree in the garden and decorate it with ribbons. Guests must attach notes with wishes to them. If the couple live in an apartment, a houseplant will do; you can even give it as an anniversary gift.
A husband and wife plant a tree together; the following are best suited for this purpose:

oak is a symbol of longevity;
birch - purity and light;
linden – family happiness.

You can plant several different seedlings. According to an ancient custom, the couple must walk around the tree 5 times, saying: “As a tree is strong, so is a tree flowery, as a tree is flexible, so is a tree reliable. May our family be like this forever and ever.”

Another long-standing tradition is for spouses to tie five ribbons to trees that they especially liked.
The husband must make a thing out of wood, and the wife must paint it. Guests will evaluate the couple’s creativity, so it’s better to practice this kind of work in advance. The craft will be a symbol of unity for the coming years.

There are other, more modern or fun options for those looking for a wooden wedding gift:

bring a small log that the couple must saw down;
organize a horse ride in the park;
invite the husband and wife to assemble a wooden puzzle on which clues are burned - dates from the family life of the spouses.

Scenario for a wooden wedding “Forest Tale”

When preparing for the anniversary celebration, you need to think about the location and scenarios for its holding. It is better to celebrate an unforgettable holiday in a rented hall: after all, it is assumed that there will be many guests. The hall is decorated with wooden decorative objects, photographs of the spouses in wooden frames, and green and brown balloons are hung on the walls, designed to create a feeling of forest coziness.

For decoration, you can also use decorations in the form of branches, and scatter yellow and green “leaves” cut out of colored paper across the floor. Hang on the walls the inscriptions “5 years”, “congratulations!”, “Happy wooden wedding!”

According to the 5-year anniversary scenario, the table should be set, at least partially, with wooden utensils: spoons, coasters, jugs with drinks. Wooden wine glasses should be placed in front of the heroes of the occasion. It is highly desirable that the suits of the spouses match the atmosphere of the holiday in color and style and have the colors of wood and greenery.

Wooden march

The host will begin the anniversary celebration by handing out two wooden spoons to the guests, on which they must play the Mendelssohn March in sync. Those who did not get spoons can beat out beats with their palms. Under such original accompaniment, the spouses will enter the hall.

The presenter will read out a poetic congratulation, after which a Russian folk song about the wedding will play (your choice). To the accompaniment of this music, he will hand the spouses a wooden rosary: light wood for the wife and dark wood for the husband, and invite them to take their places at the head of the table. With this begins the celebration of the anniversary of 5 years of marriage.

Games and congratulations

Next, according to the wooden wedding scenario, the host will play a game called the “jug of peace”: a large wooden vessel is filled with wine and passed “in a circle.” Starting with the head of the family and his beloved, and each guest must take one sip from the jug. The one who gets the last sip must read a toast, and the rest raise their glasses and drink to the heroes of the occasion.

After a short break, during which music plays and guests take refreshments, an exciting competition called “wooden confession” follows, in which only spouses can take part. The presenter gives the husband and wife a piece of plywood or wood and a box of matches. Participants must write the word “love” on the board while putting out lit matches on it. The winner should be celebrated by guests, and the gift will be a burning set.

After the competition, standing, guests make toasts and drinks in honor of the husband and wife's parents. We thank them for raising and raising such compassionate, loving people, and wish them well-being and long life.

It's time to give gifts. The spouses stand next to the wedding tree, and the others take turns handing them gifts, preferably made of wood.

The parents of the spouses present first, followed by everyone else. The presentation of gifts according to the wooden wedding scenario is accompanied by poetic congratulations from the host.

The meal continues again, after which the host will invite the guests to invite each other to dance. Romantic music plays, and the spouses leave first, while guests invite their other halves if they wish.

If the heroes of the occasion managed to have children, the kids can sing a congratulatory song for their parents, recite the congratulatory poems they have learned, show a cool number or dance.

Funny competitions

Now the presenter invites guests to take part in the “Planting” competition: the participants are divided into two teams of five people each (the same number of years the spouses have lived together), and receive a “planting kit”, which includes a pot, a bag of expanded clay, a shovel, artificial tree and watering can.

Each team nominates one participant, who must plant a tree and water it at speed with their eyes closed.

Having completed the task, the participant unties his eyes and quickly passes the baton to the next one. Each player plants his own tree, but the team that blindly plants all 5 “trees” wins. The winners are given gifts: calendars with photographs of the park, forest or landscapes.

The next competition begins after a meal and a musical break, during which guests can dance. The name of the competition is “Match House”. Its essence is that guests who want to participate must, within the allotted time (5 minutes), make a beautiful souvenir house from a strip of plasticine and a box of matches. The best work is determined by applause and presented as a gift on the couple's anniversary.

Top 5 cool competitions for spouses

One of the most interesting parts of the silver wedding celebration is the entertainment. With their help, you can diversify the banquet and give it a festive atmosphere and fun.

The holiday can begin with the traditional first dance of the newlyweds. You can edit a multimedia film from photo and video archives of a family who lived in love and understanding for 25 years.

As for competitions for newlyweds, a significant part here is based on the newlyweds’ knowledge of each other. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the most popular quizzes.

"Wheel of Fortune" . A drum is prepared in advance and rotates around its axis. It contains funny tasks for the bride and groom, the fulfillment of which depends on the experience of family life. The winner is the one who completes his tasks better and more correctly.

"The Spouse Exam" . The essence of the intellectual quiz is that when identifying a school subject, the husband is asked questions on the topic. For example: mathematics - how many months does your marriage last? How old was the bride on the day of marriage? How old is your mother-in-law? Geography – based on pre-prepared photographs of a joint vacation, the spouse must name the cities. In biology: What flowers were first given to your wife? What flowers did the bride's wedding bouquet consist of 25 years ago? At the end of the quiz, the spouse is given a certificate of successful completion of 25 years of married life.

"Blitz poll" . First, the spouse is asked a list of any questions that are related to their family life. Next, the husband must quickly answer the same questions without hesitation. The more correct and matching questions there are, the better. Based on the results of the competition, the spouse receives the “Ideal Husband” medal.

"Bride ransom" . The groom is given a small bucket (preferably silver or wrapped in foil). His task is to fill the container with coins with the help of the guests. You can only throw pennies into the bucket.

"Seven-flowered flower " To conduct this competition, you need to prepare a flower in advance, with petals that can be easily separated from the corolla. On the reverse side of each petal is written a date associated with the family life of the young people. Taking turns tearing off the petals, each spouse must say what date it is and briefly describe this day.

According to tradition, the entertainment program of the special day should end with eating the wedding cake, which will be cut by the spouses. The guests wish the newlyweds a sweet life together for at least another 25 years.
