Preparation
When drawing up a holiday script, you need to take into account , first of all, the wishes of the newlyweds .
In addition, you need to take into account:
- number of guests;
- their age;
- social status;
- mentality.
Important! Collect as much information and interesting facts about the guests and the newlyweds as possible, and hand over the “dossier” to the person responsible for entertainment at the wedding.
This will help you create the perfect program. You can do without long speeches: they will only tire the guests present. But you shouldn’t refuse congratulations , the main thing is to give them the right time, for example, before serving hot food. Competitions at this moment will be just inappropriate.
Features of organizing an ideal wedding
When planning a perfect wedding , answer the following questions:
- event format : magnificent ceremony or friendly party;
- number of guests (their age, lifestyle, hobbies are also taken into account);
- wedding style : the celebration is organized taking into account the hobbies of the couple in love, in a national or thematic style, in a certain color.
Without a toastmaster, it is easier to organize a wedding in the format of a friendly party and with a small number of guests. An approximate celebration scenario must be drawn up.
Presenter selection
In place of the toastmaster, it is better to look for a witness or one of your friends, distinguished by organizational skills, the ability to speak clearly and with enthusiasm.
Interview those you consider suitable for the role of presenter, and choose the one who will respond most enthusiastically to the proposal . Still, most guests plan to relax at the wedding, rather than entertain everyone around them, and the host should be the one who traditionally becomes the life of the party at every event.
Classic start
Ideas for starting a wedding can be traditional or original . A few years ago, the bride price was a mandatory part. The bridesmaids organized competitions and original tests for the groom and his relatives. If the future husband could not cope with the task, a witness helped him.
If no one coped with the task, a buyout became mandatory.
Such ransoms involved payment in money, the performance of songs or romantic poems. Lately, redemptions have been relegated to the background. Many lovers live in a civil marriage before marriage, so the ritual ceases to be relevant. However, the original beginning of the celebration becomes important.
Celebration at the wedding
Scenario
Every wedding has common moments, such as a marriage registration or a banquet in a restaurant, but there is no standard scenario. Some people like the idea of bride price competitions, while others consider it an outdated tradition. Some couples go on a photo shoot to memorable places on their wedding day, while others organize a photo walk on a separate day.
When drawing up the script for your wedding, clearly state at what moments and who will have to act as toastmaster. After the plan for the day is detailed, the newlyweds and the future host must agree on everything point by point .
Note! You should not share the details of the scenario with anyone other than the newlyweds.
If any of the guests know in advance what competition tasks are planned, their behavior may turn out to be feigned.

Top 10 cool entertainment
To prevent one of the most important days in your life from turning into a complete feast, it is important to have original and interesting entertainment. It is better to choose wedding competitions that do not require a lot of props and that do not force guests to do something difficult .
We offer ten ideas for interesting competitions that are easy to organize on your own.
Simple warm-up
Based on the KVN competition of the same name. The host reads out questions prepared in advance, and the guests must answer them funny. The main thing is that vulgar or offensive topics should not be touched upon.
Talking cap
The only props you need are a cap (hat), as well as phrases read in different voices and recorded on a voice recorder. At the right moment, the host brings a cap to the head of one of the guests and says: “Now I will read your thoughts!” At this moment, a pre-prepared phrase sounds from the speakers.
When holding the “Talking Hat” competition, you can also use pre-selected fragments from songs . Lots of laughter guaranteed.
Musical chair
Chairs are placed - one less than the number of participants. To the music, which gets faster and faster, the guests walk in a circle. When the sound stops, you need to take an empty seat as quickly as possible. Those who do not have time are eliminated from the game.
With each stage, there are fewer and fewer chairs until there is only one chair and two participants left. The one who manages to take the coveted place will be declared the winner.
Attention! At the end of each competition that you have in mind, try to give the guests small souvenirs, even comic diplomas. This will motivate others to participate and will leave those present with a pleasant impression of the celebration. These are small things for you, but you will be surprised that, years later, your friends will remember your wedding because they received pleasant surprises at it.
Song-anti-song
Competition for two teams. One sings a verse (for example, “We will be together, always. Oh, yeah! Just say: “Yes.””), and the other team responds with song lines that contradict in meaning (for example, “I love you... but it’s not destiny - with you alone not on our way").
I'll sing now
In another cool wedding competition, the first team sings a song that contains some question (for example: “Where are you, my beloved, where?”). The second should answer the question with another song (for example, “Where the currants grow...”).
Honeymoon
All guests are invited to imagine that they are flying on a plane with the newlyweds on their honeymoon. Everyone chooses a pair and a role: flight attendant, pilot, etc. Then the journey begins with landing in different countries, where characteristic music sounds and everyone dances in different styles.
Love hedgehog
For this simple competition you will need any fruit and a couple of dozen matches that are inserted into it. The task of the young people is to take turns getting one match at a time and at the same time address each other affectionately. For example, “my sunshine”, “my princess”, “my dear”, etc.
Make me smile
The groom stands frowning, pretending to be angry with his wife. Her task is to make her loved one laugh with the help of gestures and words.
Tickling is prohibited! But all kinds of support from guests is encouraged and accepted to make this funny competition even more fun.
Bowling alley
For such a game you will need props - a ball and pins on which the future household duties of the bride are written. For example, washing dishes, ironing, daily foot massage.
The bride throws the ball and publicly promises to do what is written on the knocked down pins.
Funny songs
The host asks the bride and groom to write three lines from different songs on a piece of paper. Then he announces to the guests: “Now we are counting information from the subconscious of the newlyweds and finding out their innermost secrets!”
The presenter says: “This is what the groom thought when he first met the bride (reads his first line). And here’s what the bride thought (reads the first line from her sheet). This is what the groom thought when he kissed the bride for the first time (reads the second line from his sheet). And this is what the bride was thinking about (reads her second line). But what does the groom actually think about during the wedding (reads the last line on his sheet). And this is what the bride thinks (reads out her last line).”
If all this is said with perky notes, a good mood is guaranteed!
Wedding without a toastmaster, sharing our experience!
We had 9 guests + us) We rented a room in the DACHA restaurant on Chernaya Rechka metro station. Everything is delicious + your own alcohol, drinks and fruit - excellent conditions. There was no toastmaster, the guests were partially acquainted, but it was clear that without entertainment it would be boring... I came up with 7 entertainments and appointed my friend as the host. Nothing complicated!!! 1. “Dating”: the host hands out pieces of paper and pens to all the guests so that everyone can write something personal about themselves. Then all the pieces of paper are put into a “magic hat” and everyone in turn takes out a piece of paper, reads it and everyone tries to guess together, for example, who likes to plant flowers so much?! This way everyone gets to know each other a little! 2. "Magic Hat". I made a selection of songs that are most suitable for each guest... And standing up with a hat, the most appropriate short excerpt from the song sounded to each, for example: “Oh God, what a man, I want a son from you...”, “... I want to be a shareholder OJSC Gazprom...”, “I want to live an awesome, bobble immeasurably...”. Everyone appreciated such individual attention. 3. Next we turned on a slide show with our love story!!! Even the groom cried)) 4. "Lottery." The essence of the competition is that the guests congratulate you verbally and financially, and the process itself is filmed by those who pulled out a lottery ticket and for such work of the “operator” a certificate is issued, for example, for the right to receive a bottle of champagne with the autograph of the newlyweds or for the right to dance with the groom ...(this is a matter of your imagination). As a result, it turns out that some guests are interviewed while filming the congratulations of other guests and receive prize certificates from the newlyweds for this. 5. Then there was a photo break... I bought photo props (mustaches, lips, glasses, hats, hearts, soap bubbles...). The process is amusing and exciting, everyone wanted to click with the young people and with each other) 6. “Let's guess the sex of the child.” The guests wrote their wives on the place cards. or husband child's name. Then we collected all the cards, counted the number of these names and it turned out that they were all for a girl!!! 7. “Ball of Wishes.” We've already talked about this. Like “dear guests, you wished us so many things today, now we want to wish you that your cherished dreams come true.” I handed out dove cards, on which guests had to write what they wanted most, tie them to balloons, then collect them all and release them into the sky. It was very touching))
I also prepared a basket with “nuts - predictions” and after the toast, everyone took a nut and pulled out predictions from it, and read it out loud. (I looked for the text of the predictions on the Internet)
There was enough entertainment for 4 hours!
Interesting ideas
If you are ready to allocate additional funds for equipment, you can hold several more competitions, which will leave unforgettable memories.
Hidden camera
Buy a Polaroid camera and give the guests a task: take turns taking one photo of the newlyweds during the celebration . At the end of the evening, the newlyweds choose the three best photographs themselves and reward the authors.
Invite those who wish to record photo and video reports of the event on their smartphone. By the end of the evening, all participants send the results of their work to the groom, and the best directors receive gifts. And the young people receive a lot of memorable recordings, from which they can later edit an excellent film.
A more creative version of the competition for aspiring directors is to leave the room and shoot a film on a smartphone about the love story of newlyweds without their direct participation. To demonstrate masterpieces, the presenter will need a projector.
Another projector-based contest is to show clips of wedding films and have guests guess them.
Feel like Schumacher!
Who doesn't love remote control cars? Give out one machine with a long needle attached to it, pointing forward. Scatter balloons on the floor. Give everyone the opportunity to pop the balls one by one by remotely controlling the machine. The one who bursts the most wins!
Holiday in a small company
If your guest list is limited to 15-20 items, then you will have a great time without a guest host. An excellent option for such a number of guests would be a cozy restaurant, cafe or country cottage.
If you decide to celebrate a wedding without a toastmaster, it will be important to set the general style for the celebration. It could be outfits of the same color, a sea or pirate wedding. Don't forget to decorate the banquet hall according to the wedding style.
Naturally, it is necessary to take care of the musical accompaniment of the holiday. The most democratic option is to independently compile a collection of musical compositions and transfer it to a drive. Then, while celebrating the occasion, you will always have background music playing.
Instruct the bridesmaid or bridesmaid to create a short list of contests. For competitions, you will need small gifts or souvenirs as a reward.
You can also give homework to the guests - let each invitee come to the wedding with a competition prepared in advance.
This way, entertainment events will become even more interesting and varied.
Prohibited!
Before drawing up a holiday script and selecting wedding competitions, you must definitely find out the prohibited topics for those present .
For example, if you decide to hold a drinking competition, you should not attract those who have problems with alcohol. Of course, you should not touch on sensitive topics such as politics or religion, or joke about national characteristics. The presenter must be extremely correct in his statements.
in advance who is not very well disposed towards whom , so as not to seat them next to each other, not to unite them in one team - in general, to avoid possible conflicts.
Attention! If guests refuse to participate in certain competitions, you should not put pressure on them and spoil the mood.
When thinking through the list of competitions, try to avoid vulgar tasks if you doubt that your guests will like them. And always keep a couple of options in reserve , because rarely does a scenario come true one hundred percent.
Tips for organizing an interesting celebration
The invitees should be satisfied with the level of organization of the festive event. If the bride and groom are planning to leave for a wedding walk and photo shoot, the guests will need something to do. Interesting options for guests to spend time:
- quest aimed at finding walking newlyweds;
- Conducting a separate photo shoot for guests (for this you will need to invite a second photographer);
- holding an unusual lottery or auction with the provision of small gifts;
- organizing master classes taking into account the hobbies and wishes of the invited people;
- creation of a wish zone ;
- holding board games .
The upcoming wedding should be memorable and interesting for those invited. It is advisable to come up with “highlights” for the upcoming holiday.
Hold a wedding without a toastmaster
Interesting options for an original wedding :
- performing the first dance of the newlyweds to rock music, mixes of musical compositions or a children's song;
- organization of unusual flash mobs (creative, dance) with mandatory preliminary rehearsals for participants;
- games and competitions that will be of interest to guests.
A wedding without a toastmaster will be interesting and memorable if the guests are busy and involved in what is happening. Be sure to take into account the age and interests of the invited and future spouses. Preparing for a wedding requires responsibility, even if the lovers refuse the services of a toastmaster.
Photo shoot ideas
Whether the toastmaster will be present at the celebration of your wedding or not is up to you to decide. But the photographer must definitely work carefully and hard on this day.
Beautiful pictures are taken near the water, against the backdrop of pristine nature. You can rent a luxury hotel room and shoot a whole video about your preparation for this significant event. Try to take as many photographs as possible, some of the pictures may not satisfy you. And from a large number of photographs you can easily choose the most successful ones.
Bridesmaid
Plunge into the world of miracles and magic - invite a magician to your wedding banquet. The magician will demonstrate original tricks and performances and fully entertain the audience! Tamara
To implement your plans, it will be useful to choose a registration time after lunch. Then you will have time to carry out the appropriate bride price in a relaxed manner before registering the marriage. An approximate plan of action on how to hold a wedding without a toastmaster is below.
- Bride ransom. Involve the maximum number of guests already at this stage, let them try to help the groom get the bride! To carry out the ransom, stock up on appropriate posters (or draw them) and various paraphernalia for the groom’s tasks.
- Ceremonial registration. After the ransom, it is necessary to gather all those present, place them in cars or buses and head in a friendly group to the registry office. Calculate your travel time; you cannot be late for registration! Be sure to take photos in and around the registry office, such wedding photos are a memory for many years!
- Entertainment activities. After the ceremonial registration, the main group of invitees will already be assembled. You will need spacious transport to transport all guests, make sure there is enough space for everyone. At this stage, it is important to take champagne and light snacks with you: fruits, sandwiches, chocolate.
The next question becomes the main one when planning a wedding without a toastmaster: “How to hold it?” The scenario can also be diversified with the following activities:
- Visiting beautiful memorable places (if you are believers, then visit the church);
- Walks through a protected park, grove (a great place for a photo shoot);
- A trip to the pond.
When traveling around the city, try to choose a time when the roads are as clear as possible.
Interesting! The scenario of the second wedding day without a toastmaster can be organized by choosing one activity. For example, gatherings in a cafe or outdoors with barbecue. Traveling by boat, ferry or yacht is also suitable.
After a well-spent and productive day, you can head to the restaurant. The newlyweds and guests will be pretty hungry and a little tired by this time, so dinner will be just in time.
A spacious restaurant or dining room is perfect for a large number of guests; naturally, it must be pre-decorated. During the meal, guests will make toasts and congratulate the newlyweds. A wonderful end to the evening will be a wedding fireworks display.
Guest actors
If the functions and responsibilities of a toastmaster are easily performed by guests, then it is unlikely that any of the guests will agree to perform at the wedding! Therefore, if your budget does not limit you, use the services of musicians.
Live music is a wonderful addition to the evening, especially when the performer has an extensive repertoire. The musicians will independently select background music to suit the situation, all you have to do is enjoy what is happening.
The show with soap bubbles looks beautiful and interesting. This performance will definitely please the children present. The fire show looks amazing and impressive when people perform numbers with real fire. You can invite professional dancers to the celebration. Several numbers in different dance styles will perfectly decorate the evening.
