Dressing up competitions
The most typical and fun type of competition. With its help, new images are created. In no other situation will you see your husband in heels, lipstick and a skirt! People reveal hitherto unknown sides and amuse everyone around them.
A cool competition for guests with dressing up: the judges are the bride and groom, five men are called to participate. They are given a bride's veil (an attribute, not real) and the task is to portray a beautiful, loving girl, a bride, to the song. Songs are best selected from the female lyrical repertoire, such as “Don’t leave me, beloved,” “Call me with you,” “I will rise to the sky to him.” That is, about burning, passionate love. Whoever, in the opinion of the judge, portrays the girl more convincingly is the winner.

For the next competition, as many men are called up. They are dressed in skirts, hats and high-heeled shoes. Men are offered women's handbags with the usual contents.
The task is to find and remove the following items from the bag in 3 minutes: brasmatic, leggings, clips, tips, hoops, clutch, curling iron, curling iron.
Believe me, this competition will not end with a burst of laughter from the guests! The task can be similar for several women and girls. They are given trouser suits, hats, and dress shoes. Women will have to remove the following items from a man's backpack: a backpack, a karemat, a cartridge belt, pliers, a hard, a wobbler, a decoy, a pressure gauge, a spool. This competition will cause quite strong emotions among the male audience sitting at the table!
The next competition involves men, preferably larger ones. They are given women's high-heeled shoes and a veil. The leader draws straight lines and the three men need to walk with a beautiful gait. Participants are eliminated as they leave the line. This competition is best held after the second table, when the guests are already relaxed and take the initiative to participate in it.
Universal competitions
There are many competitions, the use of which is acceptable not only for the wedding itself, but also for its anniversary. For example, three pairs are called, they are given three bags containing the attributes of the competition: a cage with a hamster, a bowl of soup, a flowerpot, a computer mouse, a hammer, that is, various objects. The task of each couple is to compose congratulatory poems for the newlyweds using these words. A similar competition occurs if you are celebrating your 16th wedding anniversary.
The creative competition also awaits witnesses. Usually newlyweds take their closest people, and sometimes relatives, as friends and matchmakers. They, like no other guest present, know the story of how the young people met. They are also given interesting objects, possibly living creatures.
The task is to sing a beautifully rhymed song about newlyweds using the names of objects. This could be a made-up song. The humor of this competition is that at the most interesting moment, the cat or hamster, given for use in the song, either falls, or runs away, scratches, bites. On your anniversary, you can invite your relatives to participate in this competition.
Alcohol competition "Penalty"
At every meter you need to place a glass of vodka, and so on for 11 meters. Why exactly 11? Because in football a penalty kick is taken from 11 meters. Participants must crawl this distance on all fours, while holding the ball behind their neck and emptying all the glasses that stand in the way. Whoever was able to reach the finish line, while dropping the ball no more than three times, is included in the team. In a non-drinking group, you can replace vodka with another drink.
Friends, I also want to remind you that I have already posted a large number of games and competitions, look in the catalog.
Vocal and dance competitions
This type includes those competitions in which the main or decisive indicator is music. For example, the type, duration of the dance, quality of the song sung, artistry in singing and dancing.
A cool competition at a wedding can be called “dancing on a newspaper.” Three couples are selected from the guests, they are given newspapers in unfolded form. The task is to dance on a newspaper, and when changing the song you need to fold it in half, quadruple, etc. Continue until one of the pairs steps outside the newspaper, and it is eliminated from the competition. The winners - the most persistent - are awarded a prize. The main secret of this competition is that guys are not forbidden to pick up girls and dance on one leg; not every participant realizes this.
An interesting music competition for 5 girls and six boys. So, the girls stand in a circle and join hands; when music plays, they should move clockwise. The guys also stand in a circle, but wider (extend their arms) and move counterclockwise to the music. When the music ends, you need to quickly hug the opposite sex. One person will be unlucky, but the guy left without a partner chooses the girl he likes and they both leave the competition. Consequently, the competition continues until the winner is determined.
Competitions for children
It is extremely rare to find weddings where there are no small children. And they, like none of the adult guests, want to take part in competitions. But the wedding theme does not always allow this to happen. Why not announce a competition designed specifically for children?
This will provide many problems: possible tears of a child who was forbidden to participate, resentment that not he, but an adult uncle won the prize! A wedding is unlikely to leave pleasant memories in a child’s memory! The main point that organizers of competitions for children need to take into account is to calculate the number of prizes. There should be exactly as many of them as there will be competition participants.
The psyche of children is still very susceptible, they do not understand the term “winner”, “first place”, for them the main factor in all competitions is the moment of play, participation, and not victory.
So, be very vigilant and fair when organizing such a delicate event.
A positive aspect of having competitions for children at a wedding is the fact that parents can root for their children, and the children can change the situation. At any age at different times, but all children become bored and sad at a wedding, especially if they have to sit at the table for a long time! Determine the age categories of children and suggest tasks for their level of interest.
More competitions...
An example would be a simple competition that can be used not only for children, but also for guests sitting at the tables. The presenter shows large multi-colored letters on the cards, and the guys must describe the bride with the word that begins with this letter: “K” - beautiful, “U” - smart. If the children are very small, but already move independently, you can provide them with chairs, but one less than the total number of children. Turn on fast music, they should run, dance, and when the music ends, everyone should sit on a chair. Whoever remains standing is eliminated, and so on until the winner. Don't forget the main point: all children should be given prizes! Let it be the same toy, but of a different color and shape.
A fun competition for children will be a competition in which their favorite songs will be played. So, all the children join hands and stand in a circle. The leader goes to the center of the circle. Children's music sounds, from cartoons, movies with the names of animals. The leader on the word “cow”, “frog” helps the children show this animal. This is not so much a competition as it is fun entertainment. Believe me, after such a wedding, full of competitions for children, none of the guests will worry about who to give the children to during their absence.
Preparing for fun scenes at a wedding
To ensure everything goes smoothly, you need to prepare for such performances in advance. First of all, it is necessary to develop a holiday script. It is possible that it will include some scenes that can be carried out even before the ransom. Such jokes will invigorate the guests and give courage to the groom, who still has to pay both the ransom and the registry office.
When choosing scenes, take into account not only the age categories of the guests, but also some risks. If any of the guests see a hint of themselves in the joke, the mood will be ruined. The same goes for dress-up competitions at weddings. Therefore, it is worth taking into account all the nuances.

Once the script is written, future performances should be worked out. If these are competitions, figure out in advance who will be able to participate. In some cases, it will even be possible to warn those whom you plan to see among the participants in the competition. Sometimes situations arise that the presenters at a wedding, despite all their efforts, cannot start the competition, because the guests refuse for various reasons. To prevent this from happening, make competitions so that they are funny, but not offensive and not vulgar.
If you are preparing funny costume scenes for a wedding, then an agreement with the participants in the action will be even more necessary. Today, the custom of inviting outside artists to perform such scenes is becoming popular. If you are organizing a wedding yourself, you will have to undertake the search for them. If the holiday is prepared by a wedding agency, then these problems are usually solved by its employees.

In addition, think over the costumes themselves, makeup, as well as all the necessary attributes. All this must also be prepared in advance so that at the last moment you do not have to frantically run around the neighbors in search of the necessary things.
Organizational aspects
An important point in organizing a competition program at a wedding is to attract more people. It often happens that some guests are “a lot”, while others are bored at the wedding table. They must also be raised and given the opportunity to participate. Regarding children: do not forget to involve even the smallest ones in participation - you can take them in your arms and arm yourself with enough gifts so as not to offend a single child!
Correctly invite guests to participate in competitions, do not force them if the person categorically refuses. He may have reasons for this that are unknown to you. Carefully pair up men and women for pair competitions; you may not know your relatives and may accidentally offend or offend a person. Do not force a person if at some point he refused to participate in the task; perhaps an uncomfortable situation arose for him.
Sketch “Magic and no fraud”
Characters : Magician, Assistant, White Rabbit, Dove. Costumes :
- for the Magician you need a cloak (can be shiny, blue, with stars), you can also wear a wizard's hat;
- for the Dove you need wings that are tied to the sleeves;
- the Rabbit character needs false ears;
- Also, as props for the celebration, you will need a small box, a toy saw and a small table.
The host says that he will make a stunning surprise especially for the hero of the occasion: there will be an invited guest - a magician and wizard of a very high level. The Sorcerer appears with his beautiful Assistant. He holds a box in his hands. The assistant announces: “I solemnly present to the public the most mysterious and magical illusionist-magician - Mr. Pudvin!” Having bowed, the illusionist places the box on the table. Assistant: “Mr. Pudvin speaks and understands Russian quite poorly, so I will comment on his exciting performances full of magic. Are you ready to see miracles? The assistant at this moment asks the birthday boy to give him something of his own, a small object, such as a watch, and puts it in a box. The sorcerer puts on a mysterious look, reads a spell and makes magical passes with his hands, but absolutely nothing happens - the trick failed.
To make a useful gift for your loved one’s birthday with your own hands, you need to know exactly his interests! If you decide to celebrate your birthday outdoors, then we will tell you what fun competitions you can hold. At this address https://banquettes.ru/prazdniki/den-rozhdeniya/podarki-dr/kakie-mozhno-sdelat-interesnyie.html - you will find examples of interesting birthday gifts.
Assistant with a smile: “Sorry, we had a small technical problem. I suppose your watch was expensive, it must have been from a Swiss company?” The illusionist tries, but no magic comes out. The assistant begins to smile even wider with the words: “Wait a little longer, please, comrades, Great Pudvin is not in shape today, sorry for the inconvenience. Or maybe Mr. Birthday boy will try his own powers in the art of magic?” And he invites the hero of the occasion to cast a magic spell, and when he says any invented word, the White Rabbit immediately runs into the hall to funny music and makes funny movements. Assistant: “Yes, Mr. Birthday Boy, you undoubtedly have great abilities in magic, because you managed to perform one of the most difficult acts of an illusionist. Maybe you can say another magic spell? Will you show us all your strength? When the birthday boy says the magic phrase, a Dove immediately “flies” into the hall to the solemn music, “spins” a little (runs in circles around the room) and “flies away” (leaves). Assistant: “Our hero of the occasion undoubtedly has great abilities in magic, so let’s applaud him for that! So, take a seat with the guests, you have successfully dealt with everything, you even showed us more, and Mr. Magician will try to disenchant your watch for you!” The illusionist fiddles with the box in which the watch was placed and pulls it out along with a large clock (can be a wall clock, or just a good electronic alarm clock with a radio or other device), which was prepared in advance as a gift for the birthday boy. The assistant (possibly together with the Dove and the Rabbit, as well as by agreement with other people for mass participation) congratulates the birthday boy and wishes him unique moments in life, more miracles and the fulfillment of his dreams. Pudwin and Assistant bow. Then the presenter enters the hall and brings with him a saw with the words: “And now we will show you an incredibly dramatic and dangerous trick - sawing the Assistant.” Immediately the Assistant, screaming, runs away in horror.
Scenarios
In any scenario, there is the concept of “saturation” and “oversaturation.” Also in the construction of any wedding there is the concept of “drama”. A wedding ceremony consists of traditions, canons, modified parts, communication between guests at the tables and entertainment in the hall. The use of cool competitions at a wedding should be appropriate. For example, while removing the veil from the bride and putting on her scarf, it would be inappropriate for some kind of entertainment competition to be held.
This is the moment of a touching transformation of the bride from a girl to a woman; therefore, the theme of cool competitions is inappropriate here. There is also a moment at a wedding when the parents of the newlyweds congratulate their children on such an important step in their lives. Before and after this, it will also be illogical to lose cool competitions.
We successfully select competitions
A successful “wedging” of cool competitions is the moments when the guests at the tables have already eaten, drank and are sitting, bored.
Now is the time to lift them up and give them the opportunity to warm up. There are times at weddings when participants from previous competitions want to take part in the next ones. Give them this opportunity, but also correctly point out that many guests are not involved and want to introduce themselves to the public.
There are shy people who sit and wait for you to invite them, there are categorical people, it is better not to disturb them against their will. In addition to the information about people given to you by the newlyweds, be guided by intuition, feel the desires of people. The nature of the wedding depends on what portion of cool competitions you include in your wedding scenario. The main thing is not to overdo it.
Follow logic in everything, intuitively build the drama of the wedding, and then everything will turn out great!
Cleaning woman
For this scene, two people are needed - the host who will congratulate the birthday boy, and the cleaning lady. The character of the cleaning lady will need a floor rag, an old worn robe and two identical (preferably) buckets. The skit begins with the host coming to the guests and congratulating the birthday boy with a solemn speech. Then a cleaning lady suddenly appears and begins to wash the floors with a serious look and quietly grumble, saying that there are all sorts of people walking around here, they left a trail, now clean up after them. The presenter sternly addresses the cleaning lady, saying, what are you doing here, what are you allowing yourself to do, how is this possible, here we are celebrating the birthday of one very good and beloved person! The cleaning lady resists for a long time, says that later, later, grumbles indicatively. Then he puts the bucket behind the curtain and says that he will leave, but first he will empty the bucket. Behind the curtain there is a second, pre-prepared bucket with confetti, rain, colored and shiny papers, tinsel, flower petals (you can cut out butterflies from colored paper), which the cleaning lady takes and “pours” onto the birthday boy. At this time, the presenter congratulates him on his birthday and gives him a gift. Any holiday - not just a person’s birthday - can be decorated with a scene that will be the highlight, the pearl of the celebration and will remain in people’s memory for a long time .
A little theatrical performance will always be a beautiful frame for any event, making it more lively and interesting.
After all, most often the atmosphere plays a bigger role than just “indicative” gifts, and first of all, how you present your gift is important (of course, the gift itself is also of great importance, it would be stupid to deny this). Celebrate, make others happy and be happy yourself! Surely some of the scenes given as examples in this article will be useful to you or will inspire you to create new ones. Go for it!
