Original bride price competitions: drawing, singing, guessing

The bride price is always a fun and responsible event for both parties, but it does not always go according to the planned scenario. The groom is tired or the guests are bored... To avoid unpleasant moments, we recommend using the following tips:

When thinking about competitions for bride price, think about whether your chosen one is able to complete this or that task (you don’t need to mock him too much so that the holiday is not spoiled by his bad mood).
The purpose of the ransom is not to rob the witness and the groom, but to stage a theatrical performance. Therefore, when choosing or drawing up a script, focus on beautiful competitions: songs, dances, gypsies, skits, more scenery, costumes, non-standard competitions.
Don’t lubricate competitions by thinking that everyone is already bored. Follow through. Unless you are late for the registry office.

As a rule, the ransom consists of three stages - the street, the entrance and the doors to the bride’s apartment/room. We have selected interesting competitions for each of them.
1

Street

Puzzle “Heart” The groom and his friends are greeted by the bridesmaids. The witness explains to the groom that the latter should take the ransom seriously and not skimp when it is necessary to give money, because since ancient times it was believed that the richer the ransom, the richer the life of the young people after the wedding.

In order for his girlfriends to give him his beloved, he must piece together one heart. (The day before, the girlfriends cut out a red heart from cardboard and cut it into puzzles. The number of puzzles corresponds to the number of prepared obstacle competitions for the groom. It is better to make 7 of them, since the number seven also symbolizes family, and on the day of its creation this is more than appropriate For each failed competition, the groom must redeem the puzzle, otherwise he will not collect the whole heart and will not receive the bride.)

Serenade The groom, with the help of friends, must perform a serenade under the bride's balcony.

Option 1: to do this, he must buy from his girlfriends the tools they had prepared in advance: two pan lids, wooden spoons, a tambourine, a guitar/balalaika, wooden clothespins on a rope (like a ratchet), a saw, etc. (depending on your imagination and the abilities of the groom and his friends). After the instruments have been purchased, the groom chooses a song and performs it to the accompaniment of friends.

Option 2: the bride thinks in advance which song she wants to hear performed by him. It should be a song that he knows well and generally sings well. The girlfriends say that the bride wants to hear this song from him, and to make his task easier, she has prepared musical accompaniment. He can buy a tape recorder (any boombox with batteries) that contains a cassette with a melody. The delighted groom buys the tape recorder, he is even given the words of the song (in case he suddenly forgets) and he prepares to publish the first words when it turns out that he must sing this song to a different melody (for example, “a Christmas tree was born in the forest” or “rubbing their backs”) bears”, etc.) Practice shows that it is almost impossible to sing one song to the tune of another. It turns out to be sooooooo much fun!

Heart Assignment: depict the beauty of your love under the bride’s windows.

(it is assumed that the groom will draw a heart or write her name or or or... whatever his imagination and love is enough for. Materials at hand that he can buy: red rose petals, an armful of mimosa, a can of spray paint, firecrackers, balloons, etc. ( all this should be prepared in large quantities by girlfriends.Here we can once again emphasize that skimping is not allowed.

Comic praise of the groom This is where friends must prove themselves. To get the third puzzle, they must not mince words and list all the advantages of the groom. You can point out to your girlfriends that the better they praise him, the greater his chances of success, because their bride doesn’t need “just anyone,” but only the very best. With a competent approach, friends should start vying with each other to list its advantages. The girlfriends need to patiently listen to everything to the end, and then say: “Great, just so that we understand that all this is true, we’ll have to repeat it all again. But: this time everyone will have 3-5 (depending on the compassion of their girlfriends) Chupa Chups candies in their mouths.

Unpredictable dance The groom is invited to perform a dance to the music. The groom's friends can also take part in the test. The catch of the task is that the melodies change every 15 seconds. At the same time, the more diverse melodies you select, the more difficult it will be for the groom to adapt to them.

Labyrinth A labyrinth is drawn on a large Whatman paper or on the asphalt near the house, the main thing is to make it not complicated; at the end of the labyrinth, instead of the word finish, the name of the bride is written. You can decorate the road with trees, houses, draw various signs, the main thing is to make it elegant. The groom is given a remote control for a car and asked to drive it through the maze. The main task of the groom is to do this as safely as possible. Based on the results of the competition, the bridesmaids issue him fines and, after payment, are allowed to see the bride. To make things even more interesting, you can issue an impromptu license for passenger transportation of your wife.

Two grooms The groom's car drives up to the house, all the cheerful happy people get out and go to the bridesmaids who are standing at the entrance. A conversation begins, an exchange of pleasantries and at this moment... another motorcade arrives, from which another groom emerges, in a military uniform or a sailor's uniform, and approaches the bridesmaids for ransom. The witness asks him questions: where and to whom he came, what is the name of his bride, when the groom pronounces the same name of his beloved, a skirmish begins between the real groom and the fake one. To resolve the conflict, the witness asks both grooms questions about the bride; whoever answers correctly is the groom. A real young man answers all questions correctly, but the second one sometimes makes mistakes. When things come to a head, the impostor picks up the phone and calls his fiancee to find out what's going on. Then he turns around and loudly notifies everyone that he is in the wrong house and this is not the place for him, apologizes and leaves. The ransom continues.

Declaration of love

The groom at the entrance shouts “I love you”
The groom shouts “I love you” in 5 languages ( If he doesn’t know, he buys from the witness pieces of paper with declarations of love written in a foreign language )
Declaration of love over intercom

Heroic power The origins of this bride ransom test go back to the deep past. Previously, the groom's path to his betrothed's house was blocked by a log placed on special trestles, which he had to cut down. Now the “heroic power” of a young man can be experienced in various ways.

For example: - ask him to hammer a nail with one blow; - lift dumbbells or weights several times; - do push-ups from the floor; - pick up a witness; - break a thin thread or rope; - jump on one leg; - squat several times on one leg; - tell what kind of sports he was involved in; - ask for a promise to carry your wife in your arms for the rest of your life; - pick up your mother-in-law. During this test, jokes pour in: “Look, the groom took a hammer in his hands for the first time,” “Oh, it’s hard for him, it’s hard,” “Well done to the groom!”, Wow, what a strong man, he hammered a nail with one blow!” , “He will be a good husband!” If the groom refuses to complete any task or simply cannot cope with it, his friends help him. And if they refuse or fail to complete the task, then a ransom is charged.

“Monster Balls” In front of the entrance to the entrance there are balloons, inside of which there are notes with the reasons for getting married. You can move to the next level only by defeating all the monster balls and getting to the real reason for marriage, i.e. mutual love and the desire to start a family. To fight the monster balls, the groom is given three darts, which must be thrown at the balls.

Entrance

Sweet words

Different letters are written on the steps; the groom must, going up the steps, say sweet words to the bride starting with this letter.
Place daisies of two colors on the stairs. Step on the red one - say a kind word about the bride, step on the blue one - tell me how you will scold her. If you don’t want to scold, pay.
The groom tears the petals from the flower and lists the tender words with which he will call the bride.
The groom is given an apple with matches, he must pull out the matches and speak kindly about the bride. (it can also be modified and the witness can speak about the groom’s positive qualities)

Compliments • the groom praises his chosen one, looking in the mirror at his serious, solemn face. But at the same time you can’t laugh or even smile at him. All the participants of the celebration will be reflected in the mirror, who, of course, will have fun watching the groom. Experience shows that only a few people can avoid laughing in this situation. If the groom even smiles while uttering words of praise, he gives the fee.

(A mirror – preferably a large one, on a stand, or even better, a crooked one, in which the groom will be reflected in a funny way. The inscription on the mirror (“Look at yourself”, “Don’t worry, tomorrow will pass”, “Nothing, it’s happened worse”, “ Man, I saw you somewhere!”, etc.)) The choral sighs of friends when the groom affectionately called the bride - it was something, the neighbors even looked out from behind the doors. • The groom and his friends must write compliments to the bride on sticky heart-shaped pieces of paper within 3 minutes and paste them around the floor. • “Ribbons - compliments” Multi-colored ribbons are attached to the door to the bride’s room. The groom removes the ribbons from the door one at a time and with each ribbon gives a compliment to the bride. The door is cleared of the barrier, and the groom enters the bride's room.

Household chores • The groom goes up the stairs and at each step names household chores that he will do after the wedding, for example, buying groceries, vacuuming, taking out the trash, etc.

• The groom's promises to the future bride in abbreviated form are pasted on the floor. For example, - VD (raise children); — GB (ironing clothes); — DR (do repairs); — ZD (earn money); — Salary (make the bed); — MO (window cleaning); — MP (wash dishes); — PC (vacuum the apartment); — PP (wipe dust); — SB (wash clothes); - X to M (go to the store). The groom needs to decipher these symbols

Several hearts are made (just for the flight of stairs), and on each one the reason for the marriage is written: “by convenience,” “by accident,” etc. The inscription “for love” is placed on the topmost step. The groom must reach the top heart without stepping on the steps on which the wrong answers lie, without using the railing. The witness must guess to carry the groom upstairs in his arms.

Memories Print photos from your most romantic and important events in your relationship. Then hang them in the entrance, this will take approximately one flight. The groom's task is that he must remember all the events depicted in these photos. This is not only a romantic, but also a very interesting competition for guests. Those who did not know everything about the couple will be able to hear their love story, and friends will once again return to a common, cheerful past.

Footprints The girls need to draw footprints on the stairs with chalk in such a way that it would be difficult for the groom to walk along them. The task is to climb a flight of stairs strictly following the tracks, and for each mistake the young man sprinkles the trail with jingling or rustling currency. If the groom's friends are dexterous, they can carry him in their arms so that he only hits the painted tracks with his feet. But you shouldn’t give such advice—let them figure it out themselves.

Songs • On each staircase, the groom and his friends must sing a song about love, about the sea, about roses, about how much he loves.

• The groom and his friends sing a love song. And to emphasize the solemnity of the moment, they are given: a toy children's drum, a toy guitar, rattles, and the groom - a microphone. The groom sings a love song to improvised music.

At the bride's door

Riddles about love Examples:

What are two things in the heart? (Letters E) What is between the bride and groom? (Letter I) Everyone has one, but you have half? (Heart) No fire, no light, but is it burning with fire? (Heart) What is softest in the world? (No, not the heart, but the hand - under the head during sleep)

Cutting out a heart Hang up a sheet with a heart painted on it with spray paint. The groom must cut it out and pass through it to the bride. He can buy scissors. Not cheap.

Desires On the way of the groom, the host or bridesmaid stands in front of the door with an empty glass in his hands. When the groom, having overcome all obstacles, approaches, he is approached with the following task: “Put what rustles in this glass.”

When he fulfills this desire and puts as much money into the glass as suits the guests, the host says the following task: “Now put in this glass what rings.” When the groom completes this task, he is given the following: “Put what is spilling out into this glass.” The groom must fill it with wine. If the groom does not fulfill any wish, then the previous one is offered to him again. For example, the presenter says: “Put what is spilling out into this glass.” The groom replies: “I don’t have that.” And the presenter says: “Then put what rustles into the glass again.”

Find the mistake The witness invites everyone to check how competent her friend’s groom is. Above the door of the room in which the betrothed sits, there is a poster: “The blue-eyed girl is languishing in this room.” The witness must indicate any eye color other than what the bride actually has. If the groom guesses, he’s great; if he tries to find a grammatical error, he’ll have to pay him off.

Choose your betrothed The bride and 3-4 other women of different ages are hidden behind a closed door. A thread is tied to each lady's finger, the other end of which is exposed under the door. The groom chooses a thread, pulls it, and one of the “contenders” whom the gentleman chose without looking comes out to him. To avoid any complaints, it is better to take threads of different colors. If the guy didn’t guess correctly, he must buy the bride from his girlfriends.

False bride The groom makes his way into the room for a long time, and there a “false bride” is waiting for him - a man or an old woman in a veil.

With humor Invite the groom to put something for the soul . The groom must figure out how to stand there himself.

Shoe The groom enters the bride's room - but she is without shoes! You need to guess which box this shoe is in (you can put slippers and a man's shoe in the other boxes).

Scenario. Mysterious

Now there are many wedding scenarios, you can choose a traditional one, or you can choose something special. The main thing in the script is to entertain the guests and test the groom’s ingenuity, and with our script this will be easy to do...

Not everyone is ready to go to a wedding in the mountains, dress up as pirates, or act out scenes involving magic and sorcery. For some people, it is much preferable to marry and marry in a traditional way. And the relatives are happy, and the wedding will be magnificent and beautiful. You won’t be ashamed to show your photos to your friends later!

Of course, a wedding and ransom according to the classic scenario can also be original. First of all, your merit will be here - after all, every couple strives to bring something new. New competitions, new games for guests, and maybe something more creative.

We invite you to get acquainted with the classic buyout option. However, even if you have firmly decided to settle on this particular option, be sure to get to know others.
