Changing orientation
Men take part in this fun competition. The presenter does not inform about the essence of the game in advance, so that there is no suspicion of a trick.

The first team to eat the fruit from their tree wins.

Leading
Ideas for a small wedding for 20 people do not exclude an entertainment program, because guests should not get bored. Yaranov Artyom
Small wedding - how to hold it in order to successfully implement the ideas of the newlyweds? First of all, you need to choose the format of the celebration: perhaps it will be a theme party, an off-site registration or a wedding on the seashore. The bride and groom will not go wrong if they decide to hold the ceremony in the open air and organize a family dinner under the shade of trees.
But the classic version with painting in the registry office and celebration in a restaurant is also excellent. However, regardless of the venue, you must try to make sure that the atmosphere is joyful, cozy, romantic and does not create the feeling that this is an ordinary family dinner and not a wedding. Every guest should feel comfortable and not bored.
If the celebration will take place in a restaurant, then you can choose an establishment with a homely atmosphere, where instead of the usual strict chairs there are soft sofas. Guests will not sit at separate tables, but at one large one. This will allow you to sit comfortably and feel at ease throughout the evening.
But it is important to consider that even a small company will need a platform for dances and competitions, as well as photo zones , congratulation zones, where those present can leave their messages and parting words to the newly-made spouses in a special book.
If the newlyweds are not fans of the classics, they can choose unusual places for the ceremony and gala dinner, for example, a forest clearing, a river bank or the sea. The main thing is to prepare in advance: set up a table, chairs, armchairs, get pillows and blankets, take care of canopies.
For a winter wedding, the best venue for the celebration is a country house with a fireplace. A real winter fairy tale and magic: guests can be treated to delicious mulled wine and a home-cooked dinner. Each of those present will definitely take with them a piece of warm memories associated with gatherings by the fireplace, an extraordinary photo shoot in the winter forest.
As for the menu for a small wedding held in a restaurant, the list of dishes must be discussed in advance with the chef. If the feast is organized outdoors, then it makes sense to use a catering service. Of course, the menu is also discussed with the company in advance, and it should be thought out taking into account the chosen style. Thus, a Russian wedding would not be complete without caviar on the table, dumplings, mushrooms and cucumbers. A “sea” wedding will be reflected in fish dishes, seafood delicacies, etc.
The variety and size of dishes depends on the number of guests. It is much easier to organize a feast for a narrow family circle, because, knowing the taste preferences of your loved ones, you can accurately choose appetizers, main courses, and drinks that your guests will definitely like.
The most fun for newlyweds
Cool games and competitions for the bride and groom are a good way to defuse the situation and enjoy the celebration. The newlyweds will become active participants in what is happening, will be able to get to know each other even more, and show others and their loved one a new side of themselves.
Newlyweds' dreams
The competition allows you to determine what the newlyweds dream of and whether they are united in their plans for the future. The newlyweds distribute the planned achievements at their discretion and number them:
- birth of children;
- purchasing a vehicle;
- tourist trip;
- romantic trip;
- buying pets;
- a month on a desert island;
- garden layout.
The dreams and their number are chosen by the presenter. The groom turns away (closes his eyes). The bride writes her numbering and sequence on the left on a sheet of Whatman paper in A3 format. Her preferences are bending. The groom's eyes are untied and he writes down his preferences. The presenter announces and compares the results.
The outcome of the competition is determined by the number of matches.
I swear! I will refrain!
The presenter voices the text, and the newlyweds say only one word : “I swear” – 1 point, “I will abstain” – 0 points.
Statements are addressed to the newlyweds in turn:
- Give your entire salary to your spouse during your lifetime;
- Never argue with your husband, even if he is wrong;
- Bring coffee in bed;
- Never return from a business trip before the promised date;
- At the first request of the husband, let him go to the club with friends all night;
- Drink alcoholic beverages only on very major holidays - New Year and mother-in-law’s birthday;
- If your husband came home in the morning, don’t ask where he was (you never know the man has a lot of worries, and he might be late at work).
The winner is determined by the number of points.
Me or you
The young people are asked questions, the answer to which is to raise one of the signs with the inscriptions “I” and “You” . Instead of signs, you can use red and blue balls. If the answers match, the newlyweds receive a point towards a common pool.
Questions:
- Who sleeps longer on a common day off;
- Who in a couple likes to argue more?
- Who likes to be photographed more?
- How many of you like active recreation?
- Who is the head in this house;
- Who will cook breakfast;
- Who sings in the bath?
The number and nature of questions are chosen at the discretion of the presenter.
Understanding
It is preferable to conduct it on artistic newlyweds , because they require pantomime skills.
Make a selection of musical phrases in advance. The bride and groom will have to portray them without words, using their acting potential.
Prepare a separate list of phrases from songs for the bride, and separately for the groom. For example, from a man’s face “I love you to tears,” and from a woman’s face: “Love me for who I am.”
Kissing school
This funny competition at the table fits very well with the theme of the celebration. Experienced married couples act as expert judges. To the sounds of “Bitter” and accompanied by thematic music, the newlyweds demonstrate kisses:
- classical;
- air (to each other and guests);
- heavenly;
- Spanish;
- kiss-automatic burst;
- kiss in the style of the movie "Titanic";
- a kiss of the guests' choice (those invited choose how the newlyweds should kiss).
Stormy applause and approval from the guests serves as an indication that the newlyweds successfully completed the task.
Where to start organizing a wedding: the procedure for holding wedding celebrations
In fact, the beginning of a wedding is not the morning of the celebration, but a preliminary period of preparation, when the newlyweds experience pleasant excitement in anticipation of the event, and simultaneously resolve a hundred organizational issues. But the very first thing you need to clearly understand is the format and concept of the holiday. How many guests are expected for the event where the celebration is planned, will it be an outdoor banquet for a wedding, a feast in a restaurant or a buffet in nature, or maybe a non-alcoholic wedding is planned?
Wedding reception in nature
A plan and sequence for organizing wedding events drawn up in advance is an important point. This approach will ensure an interesting and eventful day without unpleasant surprises.
In this case, you need a person in charge who will monitor the progress of the event and resolve current issues.
Nowadays Russian weddings are held more and more often by turning to wedding agencies and ordering a host-toastmaster. This completely frees young people from the need to control current events. However, you can celebrate your wedding day in an interesting way without involving a toastmaster, especially if you plan to celebrate with a small number of guests. At the same time, the scenario of a wedding in a narrow circle can be brought to life, for example, by witnesses or one of the relatives.
Funny for parents
A wedding evening is a good occasion for young parents to show their imagination and artistry. Jokes and competitions are specially selected for them, and if they contain funny moments, then both mothers and fathers will be able to feel young in soul and body. Humor will add pep to their spirit and enhance the emotional perception of the celebration.
Important! Take into account the age characteristics of the older generation and the specifics of cultural perception.
If all precautions are taken, parents will remain friends for life, and a playful competitive spirit will add laughter and fun and help relieve boredom.
Generous mom
The presenter asks questions, the answers to which need to be blown out with soap bubbles:
- How many times per hour will you call the newlyweds to give advice?
- How many times a year will you let your children have fun and take your grandchildren with you?
- How many days will you spend with your grandchildren each holiday?
- How many grandchildren do you expect from your children?
- How much money are you willing to give to buy a new car?
- How much money are you willing to give to young people to purchase an apartment?
The most generous mother wins the competition.
Expert
The competition reveals who is the best kisser - the parents of the groom or the bride . To the general command “Bitter for our parents,” they begin to kiss. The couple whose kiss lasts the longest wins.
rope of love
The parents of the newlyweds take part in the tug-of-war, with a heart-shaped balloon tied to the middle of it. The newlyweds stand in the center: they are unable to move or walk.
Parents pull the rope towards their child. The winner will be those whose team takes the heart first: daughters-in-law or sons-in-law.

Common wedding mistakes
The most important mistake in preparation is the reluctance to spend time drawing up a plan, a list of guests and tasks. It is the initial assessment of the scale of the planned celebration that allows you to estimate the budget and correctly distribute funds.
Another mistake can be made if the choice of restaurant is made before the number of guests has been determined and the wedding concept has been developed. It may turn out that its dimensions are too small for the steadily increasing number of guests.
Comic games at the table
The most fun competitions at a wedding are often held when all the participants are still at the tables, in the first half of the festive program. They entertain rather than bore guests. By including them in your celebration, you will be convinced that in each of the adults there lives a small child, ready for fun and jokes, and mischievous acts. Table entertainment will be a good alternative to the energetic part of the program, but will not be devoid of humor.
Important! Tasks can be completed in different versions, the number of participants and questions can be changed. The main thing is a creative approach and original comments.
A passionate kiss
Couples with different lengths of married life (a year, two, four or more) sitting at the table show a master class to the newlyweds on how they should be able to kiss when the length of their married life increases.
When couples with more than 40 years of experience enter the fray, make it more difficult for them by requiring them to engage in passionate embraces.
Forecast for the evening
The competition will require props: a box with pieces of paper on which the names of the guests are written. This game allows guests to get to know each other and make a funny prediction.
The host asks to raise the hands of those who are seeing all the guests for the first time, and those who are familiar with some of them. The newlyweds take out a piece of paper with any name of the guest, the toastmaster voices for him the forecast for the coming evening:
- He will drink the most;
- Perform the most fiery dance;
- All evening he will exclaim: “Where am I?”;
- Will fall asleep in a sweet dream;
- Catch the bride's bouquet;
- He will dance on the table.
And the owners of the names must name the most original interpretation of their name.
Read my lips
For the competition you will need headphones and cards with a list of wedding-themed words, preferably if these words are complex, consisting of two stems.
One of the contestants is wearing headphones, which exclude the possibility of hearing anything. The second participant in the game says out loud the words written on his card. The first player's task is to read lips and guess what the word is. The speaker does not use facial expressions or gestures.
Georgian toast
Props you will need are a cap and a mustache. Guests say 15 words characterizing family life (mutual understanding, marital duty, children, respect, frying pan). These words are written in large letters on tablets.
Participants are given a cap and mustache; they must congratulate the newlyweds with an original toast , during which the presenter, without warning, raises signs with the words that were named before the start of the competition.
Contestants are required to include this word in their toast, demonstrating the gift of eloquence.
What about the eventful moments of the wedding?
Nowadays, couples are increasingly moving away from the framework of conservatism and trying to give the celebration not so much pomp, but sincerity. It is worth understanding that the modern wedding scenario does not exclude, but on the contrary, supports traditions and customs, which are vividly embodied, albeit in a more radical comic format. For example, the once-forgotten ritual of bride ransom is gradually gaining momentum.
Wedding photo ideas - wedding on a yacht
You can work out ideas for an original wedding taking into account the time of year. For example, ice skating, sledding, tubing, snowball fights divided into teams - great entertainment if the wedding is in winter. Visiting a water park, yachting, jet skis are great ideas for a summer wedding.
Think over an entertainment program - competitions, dance breaks, prepare and rehearse the dance of the young people in advance. Also, invitees can come up with original scenarios for congratulating the newlyweds on their wedding from relatives and friends.
Well, how to end the wedding? Of course, fireworks! In honor of the young people, their parents, loved ones, friends, everyone who came to share this solemn and significant moment in the new family life of the young people.
Fireworks at a wedding
An oligarch is coming to us
Funny sketches of congratulations for a wedding can end with an increase in finances to the family budget! For congratulations from the oligarch you will need a respectable size, pot-bellied man. If there is no such person among the guests, you can attach a false belly to someone, add a crimson jacket, a huge chain around their neck, and give a man purse to their hands. The result will be a funny image of a “new Russian from the 90s.” This respectable uncle enters the hall, he is flanked by security, and the presenter announces: “No one should move, a very important person has come to visit us. The security is inadequate, they might start shooting champagne! Now let’s all silently listen to the congratulations and applaud the important guest!”
This will be an original wedding greeting in the form of a scene. The oligarch approaches the newlyweds, greets them and informs them that he must check whether the groom has chosen a business bride. The bride is given a broom and dustpan, and the oligarch begins to take money out of all his pockets and throw it on the floor. The bride must sweep up every single ruble. This is how rich people waste money these days!
