Wedding competitions - tongue twisters, question and answer, lottery

Wedding competitions are needed to relieve tension that may arise between unfamiliar guests and to create a relaxed atmosphere. After all, guests come to a wedding not only to enjoy the delicious dishes of the wedding table, but also to have a lot of fun and share with the newlyweds the most joyful day of their married life together.

The bride and groom are rightfully considered the main persons of the wedding celebration, and that is why the competition for the bride and groom at the wedding can be called the most interesting points of the festive scenario.

Questions and answers

Preparing wedding competitions is considered a difficult and responsible task.
The purpose of a fun competitive competition is not only the desire to surprise and delight wedding guests with funny practical jokes, but also to introduce all relatives and guests of the wedding event to each other. Therefore, the newlyweds and the host diligently think through interesting and diverse fun competitions in advance.

Almost all wedding ceremonies are not complete without traditional comic wedding games and competitions.

These include:

• bride price. For this fun competition you will need special “tasty” props - champagne, sweets, boxes of chocolate or their monetary equivalent. One team of “sellers from the bride’s camp” meets another team of “buyers” - supporters of the groom and comes up with various comic tests for the future spouse that he must pass for the sake of his chosen one;
• wedding fortune-telling to determine the gender of the first-born in a young family. For this competition you need cabbage and a silver coin. Whoever finds the coin first among the newlyweds determines the gender of the unborn child. For another version of this fun competition, you will need different props: baby hats in blue and pink. Guests are invited to choose the future gender of the child, and to do this, put a small amount of money in the corresponding headdress. The competition ends by counting the banknotes in each cap. Whichever hat contains the most money, the same gender will be the first-born of the young couple;
• the touching custom of lighting a candle at the family hearth, in which the parents of the newlyweds and the bride and groom are directly involved. The meaning of this ritual is the symbolic transfer of the warmth and comfort of the parental home to the newlyweds.

Of particular interest at a wedding is the fun competition for the bride and groom.

The couple will have to go through humorous and funny tests, a kind of test of readiness for married life together.

Newlyweds need to show their abilities and skills in everyday life, decide who is the head of the family, show their caring and demonstrate their mutual love.

Competition tasks are conducted in a fun and playful manner. The most interesting competition is a fun verbal competition of questions and answers. Questions about the responsibilities of the bride and groom are written in advance on pieces of paper. Questions for the bride and groom can be of different content. For example, it is appropriate to ask the bride the following questions:

1. How many dishes will you cook for your beloved husband?
2. How many glasses of champagne can you drink?
3. How long can you talk to your friend on the phone?
4. How many fur coats would you like to have?
5. How many times will you forgive your beloved husband?
6. Do you agree to have three or more children?
7. Do you like the Kama Sutra?
8. Will you look at other people's men?

Options for humorous answers are prepared in advance on paper cards, which are placed on a special beautiful tray.

To answer, the toastmaster invites the bride and groom to choose any card and read it aloud.

Funny answers cause laughter and cheerful exclamations from wedding guests. The bride's answers may be as follows:

• That's all I think about.
• On payday.
• I can, but only in another room.
• Interesting to try.
• No more than once.
• You can try it.

You can ask the groom the following questions:

1. What's your wife's favorite dish?
2. How much alcohol can you drink without getting drunk?
3. Would you like to spend your entire honeymoon in your marital bedroom?
4. How many times a day will you say kind words to your wife?
5. Will you be vacationing with your wife in the Bahamas?
6. Do you agree to have three children?
7. Will you serve your wife coffee in bed?
8. Who will earn money in the family?

Sample humorous answers from the groom:

• I'm always ready.
• Do not even think about it.
• Only for you.
• Do not put salt on my wound.
• Only for you, my love.
• Only me and no one else.
• Next time.

The last question to the newlyweds will definitely be the toastmaster’s address to the bride and groom: “How many times, in your opinion, will the guests shout “Bitter” to you? Having heard the newlyweds’ answer, the guests begin to shout “Bitter!”, after which the bride and groom kiss each other.

Questions should be extremely tactful and funny enough to maintain the festive mood of the wedding and not confuse the newlyweds.

What is bride price?

In ancient times, the departure of a daughter from her parents' home to her husband's family was treated extremely practically. The parents were losing an additional “work unit”, so they reasoned sensibly that the groom had to pay for such a loss. This is where the custom of bride price came from, which is still preserved among some peoples.

The wedding ransom of our distant ancestors was expressed in some material values

They could give money or some real goods or household items for the bride. Such payment included furs, livestock, fabrics, etc.

Over time, this rule grew into a tradition - often fun and optional. Now the groom was required not to pay for the chosen one with money or things, but to show dexterity or intelligence. Therefore, the bridegroom’s bridesmaids and relatives prepared tasks for the groom to ransom the bride. All this was accompanied by laughter and jokes. Moreover, such tasks often looked quite tough and tricky.

Perhaps this was done in order to test the character of the chosen one, to force him to demonstrate patience along with ingenuity

Today, many wedding planners are against buyouts. This tradition is called archaic and incomprehensible to modern young people. However, despite such criticism, the custom is still included in most wedding scenarios. Therefore, the groom needs to be prepared to be asked tricky questions about the bride or come up with unexpected tests. Is it worth refusing the ransom if it is still considered a natural part of a bright wedding day?

To know each other

A happy family union is created by loving people who know each other well. At the wedding, as a humorous test, the newlyweds are asked to undergo several funny tests. The script may contain several types of funny and original competitions for the newlywed. For example:

• "Love Letter" For this competition you need small props: a hat and small plates made of thick paper with the names of individual parts of the body: arm, leg, shoulder, eyes, nose, ears. The presenter sets the groom the task of reading to his bride a pre-prepared love letter with an address to his beloved with spaces in the text. The groom begins to read the address and takes a sign out of his hat to insert the missing word. The phrase “Darling, I really want to look into your beautiful ears” (and pulls out a note with the word “ears”) causes loud and cheerful laughter from the audience.
• Competition for the bride “Sew the groom’s outfit out of nothing.” The toastmaster offers the bride a roll of toilet paper and offers to make a tie out of it for the young spouse with one condition - to use the entire roll of paper for this. Wedding guests are encouraged to count paper turns to create a tie around the groom's neck. How many turns - how many kisses a bride should give to her betrothed.

The most common competitions are comic competitions involving guessing the bride and groom among other wedding guests.

Guess the bride by her leg, arm, kiss

In the fun competition “Guess Your Betrothed by Her Legs,” a blindfolded groom will have to recognize the bride by the contestants’ bare legs just above the knee. When the groom is blindfolded, the participants change places, and several men sit down with them to laugh.

The bride is replaced by another girl.
Accompanied by cheerful music, the groom touches the legs of the participants with his hands, thus identifying his bride. A competition to determine the bride's hand is held in a similar way.
Women of different ages can participate in this competition: from grandmothers to girls. For the “Recognize the Bride by a Kiss” competition, several representatives of the fair sex are invited, including the bride. The Groom is seated on a chair, blindfolded and asked to recognize the bride by a kiss. The bride always kisses. There is another variation of this fun competition. The newlywed leaves the wedding hall for a while.

The toastmaster invites the bride and other participants in the competition to leave an imprint of their lips on the paper. The groom must find his beloved's kiss on paper.

Wedding competition in verse: let everyone have fun!

In general, poetry competitions for weddings are not a new invention. The hosts had used it quite successfully before, but with one difference: all the questions, as a rule, were always the same, and the game was played exclusively for newlyweds. Questions about knowing each other can be used as a competition not only for newlyweds, but also for any other married or loving couple. Why not, for example, take them as the basis for a competition for parents? Unlike the usual and annoying competitions “swaddle your grandson,” “feed your son-in-law,” “dance with your new relative,” etc., questions for a couple to know each other will certainly not cause feelings of awkwardness and irritation. In addition, such competitions bring people closer together, because people who have lived together for many years will be happy to join such a game! Similar poetic games can be offered to all couples in love at a wedding, having prepared poetic questions in advance (of course, in this case, of a more general, not specific nature).

Comic game “Two pipes of love”

The text is read by the presenter.

Dear guests! Look at our charming couple, how kindly they treat each other, how they value their relationships, their family. Now both spouses receive magic reed pipes, their task is to answer all my questions only with the help of this instrument. And you, dear guests, will hear how this wonderful couple was born and got on its feet. Well, let's rehearse. Dear F, imagine the name of your beloved spouse?

— A woman blows a pipe.

Bravo, wonderful, now it’s the turn of dear M. Imagine, dear M, your soulmate.

-A man blows a pipe.

So, remember that very day or evening when your first meeting happened, when you looked at each other, so to speak, with passion. When M, you saw the charming F, what did you think?

-A man blows a pipe.

And when you, F, first saw handsome M, what thoughts flashed through your head?

— A woman blows a pipe.

Of course, the mutual attraction of two hearts did its job, and here was that very first date. You walk holding hands tightly, Cupid rubs his hands, and M., madly in love, thinks about J.

-A man blows a pipe.

And the lovely F, all glowing with love, as if in unison, is chasing the same thought, which one?

— A woman blows a pipe.

Then the series of dates moved to a new level of quality. It's time to propose marriage. Which of you, dear M and F, proposed?

How to conduct tests for the groom

When they want to ask the groom questions, they are not voiced directly, otherwise it will look like an exam.
The future wife invites the bridesmaids, who come up with a story and choose one of the competitions with questions, for example, name your favorite flowers, the color of your beloved, etc. The essence of these questions is to understand through the answers received to original, funny, tricky test tasks, how well the future groom knows his beloved and how much he wants a life together.

Wedding competition examples:

1. "Chamomile". The organizers create a paper flower with a question written on the back of its petals.
2. "Burst the balloon." For this competition, a piece of paper with a question is placed in the balloons, after which it is inflated. And the groom is asked to destroy it in order to find out the question. At the same time, it is very good to create difficult situations - bursting a balloon without touching it (with the help of lemon juice), or hitting it with a dart.
3. "Roulette". To create a competition, the organizers in the children's department of the store buy a toy roulette and a ball for it. Separately prepare a list of questions, which are distributed by color or number. If the list is numbered, then you need to create 2-3 questions for each number. The groom makes a bet with money and spins the wheel. When the ball stops, the presenter voices the question, and if the man answers incorrectly, the money is taken away. If the answer is correct, then the contestant is given a token. The participant needs to collect 5-7 chips to advance to the next test.
4. "Lottery". To create it, use a drum with balls. The groom turns the handle and pulls out several balls. It’s good if the spheres open, then you can put notes with questions in them. If not, then they additionally create a canvas with cells in which the same numbers are written as on the balls. They contain two colored cards: one yellow with a question, and the second red with a penalty task. Or, instead of a fine, the groom must put money in his pocket. If there is no desire or opportunity to buy a drum, then it can be replaced with a transparent vase filled with multi-colored squares folded from paper. In this case, the cards can be decorated with rhinestones or satin bows.
5. "Poster with a schematic image." On a large sheet of whatman paper there are several images - these could be traces of lips, colored prints of palms or feet, or the outline of a waist. The groom must guess what mark his beloved left, for each mistake he must pay a fine or recite a poem about the beauty of his couple.
6. "Posters with puzzles." This competition requires ingenuity to encrypt the desired meaning in pictures or numbers. You will also need minimal artistic ability or the ability to create a collage on a computer. In this case, the collage must be large, and special equipment will be required to print it. It is best to choose A1 or A2 sheet size; smaller or larger sheets will look too out of place.

Guess who?

After an active competition, a toast and a snack, you can again return to the “question and answer” version of the game. In this case, questions will be asked to the guests, and they will guess which of the newlyweds they are talking about. The one who gives the most correct answers can receive a prize - a kiss from the bridesmaid if it is a man, or a friend of the groom if the winner is a woman.

Example.

1. Who has foot size 45?
2. Who sneaks into the refrigerator at night?
3. Loves football?

All these competitions can also be used for bride price.

What differences do you like now that might start to annoy you in five years?

The irony of romantic love is that at first you may be attracted to traits in your partner that are the opposite of your own. Its spontaneity seems exciting because you are used to living your life according to a plan. Her penchant for taking a break when she's mildly ill looks great because you push yourself to work even when you have the flu.

Other habits associated with biorhythms, career or hobbies attract with their exoticism and novelty. But your own may ultimately prevail. And then what used to fascinate will begin to irritate.
