When a group of adults gathers around the table to celebrate someone's birthday, the feast usually turns into nostalgic memories of the past. There is nothing wrong with this, but turning such a happy day into empty chatter and filling stomachs with delicious food is not at all the format of the holiday that the birthday person wants. How to revive such a company? Of course, use the most fun competitions! Their selection is so large and varied that it is suitable for both relaxed young people and more mature birthday people.
Alcohol competitions
Transfusions
Birthday competitions for a group of adults are often complete without alcohol, for example, this one. A glass of alcohol (can be water) and an empty glass, as well as a straw for a cocktail, are placed on the table in front of each participant. Their task is to quickly pour liquid from one glass to another using a straw.
Fun toast tasks for guests
Not all people love and know how to give toasts, and many simply get off with the banal “I wish you health and happiness!” Therefore, very funny alcoholic competitions for adults’ birthdays are especially popular. To avoid these difficulties, and at the same time amuse the audience, you can invite guests to say congratulations in an unusual style. Each guest should be given a piece of paper with instructions on how he should make his toast. Here are some fun options available here:
- Compose a congratulatory phrase, all words of which begin with the same letter, for example, “We wish you hot wishes, a cheerful life, burning women!”
- Use some animal in your congratulations, for example, “Stay slim like a doe!”
- Connect the congratulatory speech with food, for example, “May your life be sweet as honey!”
- Make a toast in a foreign language.
- Give a list of words from which the speaker himself must compose his toast.
- Sing your congratulations.
Vulgar contests
Scrambled eggs
Anyone looking for funny moving competitions can choose one that will become the climax of a party for a well-warmed-up company. The most “out-of-touch” men will agree to participate in it. A transparent plastic bag with a pair of raw chicken eggs is tied to each participant's belt on a string so that they dangle at knee level. The first couple is called to the ring. The “fighters”, with their legs spread wide and slightly crouched, begin to swing their bags of eggs with the help of swaying their hips, trying to hit their opponent’s eggs with them. The one whose eggs cannot stand it and break, leaves the battlefield in disgrace, to which the next couple is invited.
The winners who retained both or at least one egg then meet each other to determine the final winner, who after the end of the competition can safely be called “The Man with the Strongest Eggs” and awarded a special prize. Although this game is traditionally played among men, it can also be performed by women (after all, it is the hen, not the rooster, who lays the eggs).
Women things
The vulgar birthday contests for adults don’t end there. The next one is only for men who will feel a little like women for a while. At the same time, the task they are given is not at all difficult, every woman easily does it every day - they need to put on a bra, and as quickly as possible. This trick is not easy for all men, so the gathered guests will have fun watching the men try.
When all the participants in the competition are finally able to put the “cups” on themselves, identifying the winner, the next task will be to remove them, again, competing against the clock. Surely there will be one among the participants who, puffing and blushing, will say that he is used to taking off bras from girls, and not putting them on himself.
Fun replacement
To conduct this competition you need to choose a girl and two guys. The girl is laid on the sofa, and small edible objects (nuts, pieces of cookies, etc.) are laid out on her body. After this, one of the guys is blindfolded and offered to eat everything that is on the girl, without hands and blindfolded. At the command of the leader, the guy begins sophisticated attempts, but the whole point is that instead of the girl, another guy unnoticed appears on the sofa. The guy, increasingly falling into lust, only begins to feel something is wrong when wild laughter begins around him.
But remember, such obscene birthday contests are only acceptable for adults with a good sense of humor. Therefore, include this competition in your list only if you are confident that the company will react adequately to it.
Fun competitions for an adult company
Competitions provide entertainment not only for participants, but also for observers. It is important that people approach tasks with humor and feel relaxed. The presenter gives an example of how to behave. A positive attitude, smiles, dancing and humor and fun competitions are all you need for an unforgettable birthday for adults: friends, family, loved ones and colleagues.

Funny intimate contests
Beautiful maiden
Among the party guests, the host needs to select several ladies who came in skirts. Having found them, he lays a rug on the floor and blindfolds the ladies. Their task is to walk over the mat with their feet wide apart so as not to touch it. After all the girls have completed this task, the presenter quickly lies face up over the mat and asks the ladies to remove their blindfolds. The winner of the competition is the lady who blushes more than others when she sees the picture that opens. How do you like this funny intimate birthday contest?
Default
Recruit 3-4 couples to participate in the competition. Girls, accompanied by a fiery melody, must “make deposits” - hide small denomination bills in the clothes of their boyfriends. When all the “contributions” have been made, the young people are swapped, and the presenter suddenly shouts “Default! Take your deposits!” To a different tune, the girls must have time to find and remove the “deposits” within a certain time. It would be even more interesting to offer to take away other people’s “deposits”.
Dance competitions at weddings
Dance competitions for weddings remain very popular. They can involve guests of any age.
- Warm-up dance on chairs. Arrange 5 chairs so that the participants sitting on them do not interfere with each other. At the signal, turn on the music and let the guests dance while sitting, without lifting their “fifth point” from the chair. After the end of the melody, the most lethargic “dancer” is eliminated. The remaining four must dance without using their legs. When there are three participants left, the rules prohibit the use of hands for dancing. The two most proactive people will have to depict the dance only with facial expressions and shaking their heads. Whoever gets the funniest is the winner.
- The dancers must be divided into 5-6 pairs. Tie balloons to women's ankles. When the music starts, the men in the dance will have to pop the opponents' balls. The winner is the couple that managed to keep their ball intact or survive longer than the others.
- Everyone knows the famous dance of witnesses on a newspaper. The task can be complicated by the fact that a friend and a friend (or another pair) will have to hold a long candy with their lips (Major cookies are suitable) and eat it at the same time.
- Several couples dance simultaneously, holding cubes with their foreheads. Those who drop the props are eliminated. After each fall, the toastmaster complicates the task for the dancers by adding new cubes. Those who hold the most props win.
Laughing competitions and entertainment
For some reason, more often respectable people believe that entertaining competitions are more suitable for children, however, this is not so. Even respectable adult uncles and aunts can be involved in laughing birthday contests. You just need to relax, trust the presenter, and get not only pleasure, but also a good mood!
Compromising evidence
Adults should involve married couples in such competitions and birthday entertainment. Men, secretly from their wives, write the names of any 10 animals under numbers on a piece of paper. The women in their circle do the same. When the game begins, the presenter begins a phrase and asks the wives to continue it with the word that appears under the first number in the list, and for the following questions words are added strictly according to the list. It turns out that the husband:
- Beautiful as...
- Affectionate as...
- Sociable as...
- Independent as...
- Authoritative as...
- Strong as...
- Fast as...
- Character similar to...
- Externally similar to...
- Etc.
Then the turn to characterize the wives goes to the husbands. And then it turns out that the wife:
- With relatives, like...
- In transport, how...
- In the store, like...
- With colleagues, like...
- With friends, like...
- In a cafe or restaurant, like…
- On vacation, like...
- With children, how...
- The spa is like...
- Etc.
Draw an elephant
Guests are divided into two teams, which are given a piece of paper. Next, team members take turns and blindfolded draw elements of the elephant: the first - the body, the second - the head, the third - the trunk, the fourth - the legs, etc. The winner is the team whose drawing is a little more reminiscent of this animal.
Substitution
Birthday competitions do not have to be crowded, for example, 3 people participate. The host sits them down at the table and places a plate in front of each: one with a piece of banana, another with an apple, the third with a piece of cake. After that, he blindfolds them and explains that they must, on command, eat their treat as quickly as possible, without using their hands. But after all participants are blindfolded, their desserts are replaced with something else, for example, instead of a banana, a cucumber, instead of an apple, a lemon, and instead of a cake, a piece of sausage with mustard. The winner will be the participant who, despite the unexpected taste of his treat, eats it first.
Milk the cow
Do you want contests with balloons?
They can be extremely fun, especially if they are not ordinary balloons, but medical gloves. Participants should be divided into pairs and each pair should be given a rubber glove with pin pricks on each finger. Water is poured into the gloves. One player holds the glove, and the second tries to “milk” it. The one who milks the most is the winner. This competition looks all the more fun the fewer people involved who know what the milking process looks like. Potato
Cool moving competitions are very diverse. In this case, pairs of players can compete, with a potato tied to their belts on a long cord, which should almost touch the floor. Two empty cigarette packs are placed on the floor at the start line. The opponents’ task is to push their pack of potatoes swinging between their legs to the finish line faster than their opponent.
We transfer items!
Both small teams and all guests, divided into two groups: one half - the invited grooms, the second - the brides, can take part in competitions for the transfer of objects. You can come up with a lot of variations of such games. Here are a few of them:
“A magpie in heels brought it”
Girls participate in this game. They are divided into two teams, line up in two lines, and within the allotted time they must pass each other a plastic bracelet , which symbolizes the news of the wedding. The difficulty of the competition is that the participants pass the jewelry without using their hands - it is hung on the heel of the first of them, and she must throw it on the heel of her neighbor . The team that completes the task faster wins.
"Fire of Love"
The item being passed on in this competition is a matchbox cover . Guests can play this game without leaving the table. The first participant places the lid tightly on his nose, then he attaches it to his neighbor’s nose without using his hands , and he passes it on in the same way. You can complicate the task by placing a candle and a box of matches without a lid at the finishing end of the table . The last participant to reach the lid removes it from his nose and uses it to light a match from the box and a candle. The team that completed the task first wins.
"Pass the ring"
A competition in which participants pass a bagel to each other by placing it on their neighbor's finger . Moreover, you cannot use the other fingers to help. The last participant must also eat this bagel . Find out your soul mate! At any wedding it is impossible to do without competitions for the bride and groom to recognize each other:
"Recognize your sweetheart by her knee"
The groom, blindfolded, must touch the knees of the girls standing in front of him one by one. He must determine which of them is his beloved.
You can complicate the competition if there is no bride among the girls at all or she will provide her knee several times, as if they were different girls.
“We kiss hands, madam!”
In this competition, the bride must identify her husband by kissing her hand. She can be confused by the fact that instead of different men, only the groom will kiss her hand, but he can do it in different ways . You can also glue on a beard and mustache to completely confuse the bride.
Whichever of these competitions you choose, fun at your friends’ wedding will be guaranteed, and the bride and groom will remember for many years how wonderful this important and bright day in their lives was. In the next video you can watch a very funny wedding competition called “Squirrels and Christmas Trees”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfj_Iz1oU6g
Cool harmless competitions for everyone
25 compliments
All guests of the holiday should be divided into 2 teams and each should be given a blank sheet of paper. In 2.5 minutes, each team must write 25 compliments on their sheet. After this, the presenter selects the sheets and compares the inscriptions on them, crossing out identical compliments. The team that writes the most original congratulations is declared the winner.
Connection
There are also competitions for the birthday boy, in which he takes part along with the invited guests, and here he gets the main role. The birthday boy is seated in the center of the room on a chair or at the head of the table, so that from there he can see everyone gathered. Only the host stands behind him and from there shows the guests cards with some facts (“wears a suit,” “gave birth to twins,” “traveled abroad,” “rides a bicycle,” etc.) concerning someone of those present. The one to whom this fact applies must rise from his seat, and there may be several such people. The birthday boy’s task is to understand what fact connects these people.
find me
The presenter should distribute pieces of paper to everyone present at the birthday party, on which they must give a description of their appearance. After this, all the leaves are collected in a box or bag. The presenter takes the first piece of paper out of the box, reads it out, and everyone tries to guess who this description fits. Each contest participant has only one attempt for each description. The one who can identify the most guests from their descriptions wins the competition.
Magic ball
This modern birthday competition is a bit like the American habit of wrapping small gifts in many large boxes. Well, we can transfer this tradition as a joke to our holiday. To do this, we will make a “magic” ball.
First you need to prepare: find short riddles and write them on scraps of paper. Then you need to take a small souvenir and wrap it in foil. Attach a piece of paper with a riddle to the foil with tape. Then wrap the gift again with another layer of foil and attach another riddle to it again. The result of such layers should be at least 6-7. In this case, the most difficult riddle should be in the depths, and the simplest one on the outside.
Next, you need to cast lots to see who will be the first to begin unwrapping the resulting magic ball. Having removed the first layer of foil, the first participant gets to the first riddle, which he must solve in 5 seconds. If he fails, then everyone else comes to his aid, and the one who does it first gets the right to remove the next layer of foil and guess the second riddle. In the end, whoever solves the last riddle wins this prize.
Guess it
Such competitions for adults are quite acceptable at a children's birthday party. Guests should be divided into two teams, which should be seated on opposite sides of the table. Determine a leader for each team. The first team must think of a word on a topic related to the birthday celebration, and its leader must secretly tell this word to the leader of the opposing team. He should try to portray this word to his team with facial expressions and gestures. Players can ask him questions, but the host can only nod yes or no.
You can guess the word within 3 minutes, and if it remains unguessed, the team is punished with a phantom, for example, by singing a song in honor of the birthday person.
How to use?
An object is placed on the table in front of the competition participants. Next, they take turns to come up with a real action that can be performed with this object. The player who could not come up with the next application is eliminated from the competition. In the end, there is only one winner.
Conductor
The leading “conductor” distributes cards with the names of cities to all players - “tickets” with destinations. He then starts asking if the player knows what country his city is in. If he answers correctly, then the conductor punches his ticket. The winner is the “traveler” who collected the most composted tickets.
Wedding competitions with drinks
Very often, competitions at weddings are related to drinks. It doesn't have to be alcohol. The competitions below can be easily adapted for an alcohol-free wedding.
- For the first competition, the toastmaster will need disposable cups, a marker and some kind of drink - wine, juice or mineral water. Drinking should not be transparent. At the bottom of the glass with a marker you need to write various letters or syllables (this will confuse the guests more) that make up some kind of catchphrase. For example, “advice and love”, “with my dear one, heaven and in a hut”, “husband and wife are one Satan”, etc. Then pour the drink into glasses. Participants are divided into two groups. On command, they must drink and form a phrase. Whoever can do it faster wins.
- You need to take 5 ingredients to make a cocktail. For example, wine, compote, beer, kvass, cognac. Make 4-5 different “cocktails” - one for each participant in the competition. To make everything fair, write the recipes on pieces of paper in advance and give them to an assistant, for example, a friend. Now the participants must guess as many components of the cocktail they received as possible. Whoever guessed the most wins.
- If the toastmaster has radio-controlled cars, you can hold such a competition. On one side, put women with drinks - vodka or mineral water. On the other - men with cars. The task of the stronger sex is to “get to” the girls, who quickly pour the drink into a glass and place it on the machine, and then carefully, without spilling a drop, return back. Whoever drinks first wins.
- Divide those who want to participate into 2 groups of 5 people. For the first team you need to bring out 5 glasses, 4 of which are water, and one of which is vodka. The participants drink slowly through a straw while their opponents watch them. The task of the person who received the vodka is not to give himself away through facial expressions. If it is revealed, the team loses.
Music competitions
Ditty competition
Unusual competitions set to music are always fun. For this singing competition, you need to prepare prizes and a list of interesting words that should be inserted into the ditties you are composing. From the guests present, you need to put together several teams of 3-5 people. Then the presenter says a word that each team must insert into their ditty. About 3-5 minutes are allocated for creativity. The team that does not have time to compose anything is eliminated from the competition, and the rest perform their ditties to the music. Next comes the turn of a new word and new ditties.
The team that manages to compose the most ditties wins. If several teams completed the task equally well, then the winner is determined by the volume of applause.
Who thinks about what?
If you decide not only to dance, but also to take a funny musical break, then you should first ask the host to prepare cool music competitions. He will select in advance fragments from songs that can somehow characterize the appearance or thoughts of the guests, and will also find a spectacular hat. When all the guests are sitting at the table, the host announces that he has acquired a magic hat that can read minds. After that, he puts it on the guest’s head and at the same time an excerpt of the song is played.

Competitions for sedentary wedding guests
To ensure that the celebration takes place in a relaxed atmosphere, you need to come up with unobtrusive wedding competitions for guests that can be held at the table. Of course, you can’t fill the whole holiday with them, but as a warm-up at the beginning or end of the evening, they are quite suitable.
- Competitions based on the KVN “warm-up” are very popular. For them, you need to prepare several question phrases that guests must continue. For example: “At the wedding of the prosecutor’s daughter, the witness stole the bride’s shoe” - answer: “And received 5 years of strict regime with confiscation.” Or: “How to make your wife scream in bed?” - “Climb onto the bed in slippers.” It is also worth coming up with funny questions regarding those invited to the wedding. Just they should not be vulgar and offensive.
- Very simple competitions that do not require props are associated with congratulations. During the feast, when the guests relax a little, the toastmaster or the responsible host will invite each invitee in turn to congratulate the newlyweds on their wedding day. Congratulations should be in alphabetical order.
- The “Talking Cap” competition is very simple and funny. But it will require some preparation. Firstly, a hat, cap, cap, etc. Secondly, cool phrases recorded in advance, read in different voices. At a certain moment, the toastmaster will bring his hat to the head of the groom/bride's witness/mother and proclaim: “And now we will read your thoughts!” At this time, “voice acting” will flow from the speakers, accompanied by cheerful music. A great mood is guaranteed.
You need to choose wedding competitions that accompany the feast that do not require a lot of props and do not force guests to do anything with their hands.
