Cool competitions for 1 year wedding anniversary

Unfortunately, today not many married couples can boast of twenty-five years of marriage experience. But for those newlyweds who tied the knot 25 years ago, it is necessary to organize a worthy celebration. With a competent approach to organizing a silver celebration, you can create an incredibly sincere and real holiday that will remain in the memory of your parents for many years. When preparing a celebration, it is very important to try not to turn the banquet into an ordinary feast. You can diversify any celebration with the help of various competitions.

Calico wardrobe

This competition is perfect for a chintz wedding. It's lively, musical, fun and will make for a great photo shoot once it's finished.

Props

A large bag or box, a bright colorful scarf, a baby cap (it can be made from a diaper), a chintz robe, a kitchen apron, a skirt made of chintz strips that are tied to an elastic band, a large chintz bow on a hoop, a large chintz bow tie for the neck.

Important! Items of cotton clothing must be large in size so that both a large man and a petite woman can wear them. In addition, the element should be easy and quick to put on and take off.

Participants

Everyone who came to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary. Their number can be limited only by the number of clothes in the bag/box.

Conditions

Guests stand in a circle and, to the accompaniment of music, pass a bag (box) of clothes from hand to hand. As soon as the music stops, the participant with the bag in his hands must take out any item of clothing and put it on himself. After this, the music plays again, and the guests again pass the “wardrobe” to each other. This continues until the bag runs out of clothes.

Important! If the music stops on a participant who has already put on something, the right to choose clothes is transferred to the next guest standing during the transfer of the “calico wardrobe”.

Prizes

The prize for everyone will be a bright and memorable photo shoot. Guests can take photos of each other, take selfies or pose for a professional photographer.

Scenario for a chintz wedding

The chintz wedding is conducted by a host, whom you can choose from your friends or use the services of an agency. He must entertain the guests with remarks, and also monitor the progress of the chintz wedding, which cannot be done without a well-written script. It can be in the form of poetry or prose. Create a script yourself or use our option.

The chintz wedding begins with a monologue by the host. Only guests are present in the hall; spouses must come up after the toastmaster’s speech.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen! We have gathered here for a reason. We have a special occasion - our dear friends (Wife's Name) and (Husband's Name) are celebrating their first year of married life. This is a difficult time for young people, because now the foundation of strong and strong relationships is being laid. But the love of the spouses will conquer everything - we are convinced of this by the example of the heroes of the occasion. Let’s call (Wife’s Name) and (Husband’s Name) here to rejoice with them on this significant date!

A couple comes out, the husband is wearing a calico shirt, and the wife is wearing a calico dress.

Host: Just a year ago she was the bride, and he was the groom. Today we have before us an already formed family, which is growing stronger every day, despite all the quarrels and disagreements. But in order for love to become even stronger, I propose to perform an ancient Russian ritual, symbolizing the strength of the relationship. Spouses, give your other half some cotton scarves! (husband and wife exchange scarves). Tie knots on them.

Husband and wife: How strong these knots are, so strong is our love!

Guests: Bitter!

The spouses kiss each other, after which the guests present them with their gifts. Traditionally, they give printed clothes, diapers for the couple’s unborn child, linen, and tablecloths. All participants sit down at the table, where relatives of the spouses tell them all their wishes and congratulations. The wife's mother (mother-in-law) says the words:

My children! If you only knew how happy my motherly heart is when I look at you! I am glad that I entrusted my beloved daughter to you, (Husband’s name). She is behind you, like behind a stone wall. Although you have only lived together for a short time, a year of marital bliss is an impressive period of time to talk about the strength of your relationship. So let the love never fade away in your couple, it becomes stronger every minute. Bitterly!

After the young couple kisses, a toast will be made by a good friend of the couple, who has followed most of their relationship.

Acquaintance: Dear (Wife's Name), and also (Husband's Name), having known you for a long time, I can say that you are a wonderful couple. I kindly envy you, because you cannot live without each other, like our earth without the sun’s rays. One day, luck smiled, uniting your hearts into one. I believe that you will be faithful to your soulmate until the end of your earthly days. Let's raise our glasses to the love of (Wife's Name), (Husband's Name)!

The guests drink, the next toast sounds. It should be said to the sister of one of the young people or the mother of the groom.

Sister: Marriage is a fragile thing if nothing binds the spouses. If there are connecting threads, then the likelihood that the young will live happily for many years increases. The main support of the spouses even in difficult times is their common child. Let's drink to our newlyweds to please us with the news of the imminent arrival of the first child in the family!

Everyone can say their wishes and congratulations during the feast. After all the guests have had their fill of food and chatted with the newlyweds, the entertainment program for the chintz wedding begins.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen! I guess that you have all had enough of our young people. It's time to start having more active entertainment! I suggest you take part in interesting games, competitions, and take a little break from the feast (you will find recommended competitions in the next section of the article).

At the end of the competitions, the ceremonial part of the evening takes place - the dance of the young people.

Host: What could be more exciting than a beautiful dance between spouses? The young ones are like two wildflowers in a huge field. Let's enjoy this action right now!

After the final dance, the newlyweds and the guests launch sky lanterns. If the weather does not allow this, the chintz wedding should end with a tea party. After this, the celebration of the calico wedding ends.

Wedding anniversary competitions

Entertainment events during the wedding anniversary celebration will allow the spouses and everyone present to remember the sweetest and brightest moments of the wedding day. Original quizzes, table games, and comic competitions will set a good mood and charge all guests with positivity. Dancing and active competitions will prevent a fun celebration from turning into banal gatherings.

Everyone can take part in the game, including the heroes of the occasion. Players sit in a circle and light a match. Then they begin to take turns passing it to each other.

The participant in whose hands the match goes out or burns out completely can ask any question to the hosts of the holiday. Spouses must answer it honestly. If the match goes out in the hands of one of the spouses, then each player can ask any question of interest to the hero of the occasion.

Sample questions

Your favorite dishes. What does the word “Love” mean to you? What makes your family happy? Which countries do you want to visit?

Everyone can participate in the competition. They are divided equally into 2 teams and line up in 2 ranks. Each of them gets a banana.

The first player on each team squeezes the fruit between his knees (or elbows). His task is to pass the banana to the participant standing next to him without using his hands. The second player on the team must accept it with his knees (or elbows) and pass it to the next competitor, and so on, until the last participant has the fruit. If the banana falls, the relay race starts all over again - the fruit returns to the first player. The competition judge monitors the honesty of the participants so that they do not help with their hands.

The team that completes the task faster wins.

Everyone can participate in the competition. They will play the role of a magpie. Participants are divided equally into 2 teams.

Each group receives a regular hair tie. The first member of each team puts it on his nose, which is considered the magpie's tail. The rubber band symbolizes news from the magpie.

The essence of the competition is that the first player, without using his hands, passes the rubber band from his nose to the nose of the second participant, and so on, until the whole team has completed the relay. Cheating is prohibited. The leader controls the participants regarding deviations from the rules of the game.

The team that completes the task faster wins.

The game involves 6 people. To carry it out, you need to prepare cards in advance with the letters that make up the word “love” and put them in a box.

Each participant, in turn, approaches the box and draws any card at random. His task is to come up with as many wishes as possible for the letter that he comes across. For example, the letter “b”: prosperity, wealth, endless love, boundless happiness.

The player who pulls out a card with a soft sign can come up with different wishes. The main thing is that they contain a soft sign. For example: splendor, impeccability, freedom, impeccability, joy, mercy.

The player who names the most wishes wins.

Several married couples are participating in the competition. Each of them receives a thread of a certain length and a needle.

The task of men is to thread the thread into the eye of the needle held by the woman with their left hand (for left-handed people - with their right hand). The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

To make the competition more fun, you can assign each pair a person who is supposedly responsible for the fairness of the game. But the main feature is that each caretaker has a voice recorder in his pocket. At the end of the competition, the main presenter collects all the recorders and tells the audience that he will now provide a sound recording of the first wedding night of each participating couple.

Everyone who wants to congratulate the married couple participates in the game. Each participant receives a piece of paper and a pen. The presenter gives them the task to write 5 adjectives that come to mind first. For example: wonderful, sympathetic, kind, sweet, best.

After this, he gives each participant a sheet of paper with printed text. There are gaps in it. The players’ task is to insert their own adjectives in place of the spaces. The text is given to everyone the same.

Example text

Exactly a year ago, on this... day, we gathered to celebrate this... holiday. Our...married couple tied themselves with the most...marital ties. From the bottom of my heart I would like to wish all the best in the family.

Congratulatory scenes for a wedding anniversary

Are your friends or relatives celebrating their marriage anniversary and you want to congratulate them? Congratulations on wedding anniversaries are often standard. During such performances, guests get bored, which cannot be said about cheerful congratulations on the wedding anniversary in skits.

Perform remade songs, funny ditties in honor of the heroes of the occasion, and act out scenes for the wedding anniversary. They will also be pleasantly surprised if fairy-tale characters come to congratulate them.

Scenes for a wedding anniversary celebration

For example, you can stage a skit with the participation of cheerful old ladies. They can be men or women dressed appropriately.

First grandmother: - Well, here we are. Second grandmother: - Yes, the path was not short. My legs already hurt and my back aches.

First grandmother: - Where are the heroes of the occasion? Second grandmother: - So here they are, in front of you.

Both in unison: “Well, let’s start congratulating you.”

Then the participants in this funny congratulation sketch will perform ditties: “We came to this holiday to congratulate the spouses and for this we ask you to pour us more often!”

Oh, it all started a long time ago, They've been grinding for many years, Who takes out the trash in the house, Who goes to cook dinner.

We've been sorting it out for many years, But this is just how it is - Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, godfather, brother-in-law, Who is related to whom.

The guests were whispering at the table, We heard the conversation. They say they have never seen a more beautiful couple!

There are familiar faces all around, And I want to hug everyone, And for the golden wedding, We ask you to invite us to visit.

And now we will shout “bitterly” and ask for a drink! We sang so many ditties - We need to wet our throats!

After singing ditties, in this funny scene the old ladies address the spouses celebrating their wedding anniversary.

First grandmother: - Why are you sitting so sad - not hugging, not kissing, not singing songs? Maybe they're not glad they got married? The second grandmother turns to her friend: “Maybe their faces are like that because they saw you.”

First grandmother: - What’s wrong with me? I washed my face and dressed up. Come on, husband, tell me how much you like me. Why are you still looking at your wife! Before the wedding, I guess I looked at everyone, but now only at her. Second grandmother: “Leave the man alone, let’s read some poetry.”

They take turns reading poems: - Congratulations on your wedding day And we want to wish you to perceive your other half entirely.

It will never be possible to change “plus” to “minus”, It is only important to decide, who is the neck, who is the head.

And we also wish you to remember the wedding more often, so that anything in life is “bitter” can be corrected with a kiss!

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary in the form of a scene

We offer another sketch with congratulations on the wedding anniversary, “The Ideal Husband.” It involves a man in women's clothing and his wife.

A congratulatory sketch for a wedding anniversary begins with the presenter addressing the guests: “How to maintain a married relationship? Our guest will share his recipe for family happiness. However, he is dressed somehow strangely.”

Man: “What did you want? After all, I am an ideal husband. My wife, her friends, even my mother-in-law call me that. It all started right after the wedding. However, I’ll tell you about everything in order.”

He continues: “The day after the wedding, I woke up and saw my beloved. She sat at the mirror and combed her hair, then began to paint her nails, her eyes... Her movements were so graceful! I admired her for a while, but then I decided to ask: “Darling, isn’t it time for us to have breakfast?”

Then, in this cool miniature set for the wedding anniversary, the wife of the ideal husband appears.

Wife: - Do you want to cook something? she asks. Ideal husband: – In order not to upset my wife, I went to the kitchen. And for the first time in my life I cooked scrambled eggs.

A husband and wife sit at the table and eat. His wife tells him: “Very tasty!” Well, you did a great job with the scrambled eggs, and now this dish will be yours.

The scene continues, and the ideal husband admits: “I was in seventh heaven!” I cooked potatoes for lunch and cabbage rolls for dinner. To be honest, I was not a good cook. So I could only be surprised at the patience of my wife, who had to eat all this. However, after three months, her patience began to fail her.

Wife: - Dear, you cooked potatoes again, I can’t see them anymore! Husband: - I realized that I was performing my duties poorly and the next morning I ran to the store to buy a cookbook. Soon I already had five recipes in my arsenal, which I mastered to perfection. Further more. I decided not to stop there and added to my collection of dishes every week.

Then, in this congratulatory scene on the wedding anniversary, the wife takes the floor: “He cooked them perfectly!” What could I do? In order for my husband to keep up with life, I began... going to football and hockey games, and then telling him what happened there. Well, then I bought a TV for the kitchen, so that my husband knew what was happening in the world. (She leaves).

Then, in the sketch on the wedding anniversary, the husband takes the floor again: “My wife, her friends, and even my mother-in-law call me the ideal husband!” But men envy me, because problems started in their families because of me. We hope that this will not happen in your family!

The scene of congratulations on the wedding anniversary ends with the wife calling her husband from behind the stage: “Darling, you have something burnt here!” Husband: - This is my wife. That's it, I ran. Happy stay!

Other wedding anniversary scenes

Another cool miniature is called “Fun ATM”. At the height of the celebration, a large box is brought into the hall, in which there is a person with a microphone. You need to glue two sheets of paper with an imitation keyboard and the word “PIN code” onto the box. The name of the ATM will be the surname of the family couple.

The person sitting in the box will announce that a certain amount has been deposited into the spouses' joint account. To get money, they need to complete tasks. First, the married couple needs to enter a PIN code - this could be the date they met or got married.

The presenter asks the spouses to bring their eyes closer to the scanner on the ATM to identify bank clients. The man from the box says in a menacing voice: “It’s not good to spy, you’re already married people!”

Then the spouses must answer questions that may relate to the family budget, for example: “Will the husband spend this money on his wife’s outfits or on his car?”

The host shows them funny movements that supposedly attract money, and the couple performs a ritual dance around the ATM.

At the end of this funny scene, the ATM will say: “If you want to get money, press the “Stash” button,” and will give the couple an envelope with money.

A miniature featuring the oligarch will also amuse the guests. This role can be played by a tall, plump man. He must put on a crimson jacket, a huge chain around his neck, and hold a purse in his hands - the result will be the image of a new Russian from the 90s.

This scene at a wedding anniversary celebration begins with the oligarch and his guards entering the hall. The presenter addresses the guests: - Everyone stay in their places! A very important person came to visit us. The security is inadequate, they might start shooting champagne! We remain calm and listen carefully to our guest.

The oligarch approaches the spouses who are celebrating their anniversary, greets them and informs them that he must check whether the hero of the occasion has chosen a business wife. The wife is given a broom and dustpan, and the oligarch takes money out of his pockets and throws it on the floor. The spouse must sweep up every single ruble.

Host: - This is how rich people waste money!

The oligarch says to the spouses: “Well, you are lucky to have found each other.” Folklore says that a wife is the second wealth in life, after health, and also: “A good woman for her man is a good half of happiness.” This is true if a woman is wise and does everything to make her husband feel good with her. Therefore, I raise a toast to the beautiful wife who has made every effort to become a good companion to her husband. Bitterly!

To the applause of the guests, the oligarch and his guards leave the hall.

On your wedding anniversary, you can act out a comic scene during which the spouses will take out cards with questions and answers from different envelopes. First, the wife asks questions, and the husband answers her:

Dear, will you ever believe that “a wife on the sofa is gold in her pocket?”
Would you walk with me through the forest at night?
Darling, are you ready to give me flowers for every holiday?
Do you agree that a loved one should only be told the truth?

Then the spouse asks questions:

Would you like to get drunk today?
Do you like receiving gifts?
Do you like kissing your husband?
Do you like to eat pickles on Fridays?

The answers might be:

I secretly dream about this.
You can't figure it out without a big bottle.
Yes, but only without witnesses.
If they really ask me about it.
Only on holidays.
I can't imagine my life without this.
Ask someone more sober.
I can’t answer honestly so as not to ruin my reputation.

These funny miniatures will cheer up the spouses celebrating their wedding anniversary and their guests, so a good mood is guaranteed for everyone present! The main thing is to keep it in moderation and not offend anyone, because this is a joyful event, and you shouldn’t overshadow it.

Tips for preparing the script

If the newlyweds decide to celebrate a year of marriage in a noisy company of friends, they cannot do without a clear, detailed script. The host should be one of the guests who has experience in conducting such events. The scenario, which describes the entire chintz wedding with its traditions and ancient competitions, should include congratulations to the newlyweds, competitions, competitions, toasts at the table, and presentation of gifts.

Here are some important recommendations:

The main moment to be played out should be the date - 1 year, love between spouses.
You can hold competitions for tight hugs, tender kisses, and involve guests in competitions.
It’s worth finding a photographer from among your friends, a toastmaster, and preparing props and costumes in advance.
It is advisable for all those invited to participate in competitions and have fun from the heart.
You can celebrate the anniversary of family life in a restaurant, at home, outdoors, it depends on the wishes of the spouses and the weather.
It is necessary to decorate the room with chintz fabrics, flags, toys, souvenirs, and cover the tables with tablecloths made of bright chintz.
For competitions you should also use scarves, nosepieces, toys, you can hang up appropriate pictures on the wedding theme, reminding that the first year of the wedding is called chintz.

You can make the witnesses leading and repeat the same competitions that were at the wedding. If there are a lot of guests, let everyone offer their favorite game, that will also be fun. The main thing is to prepare small souvenirs for the winners in advance: handkerchiefs, oven mitts, towels, so that everyone will be interested and have fun.

Calico wedding script

A calico wedding is the anniversary that is celebrated after the first year of married life. Family psychologists unanimously recognize this period of time as one of the most difficult in a couple’s relationship. It is recommended to celebrate this date cheerfully so that spouses can forget about daily hassles. How to organize a chintz wedding celebration?

Entertainment program for a wedding anniversary

If you are entrusted with organizing an entertainment program for your wedding anniversary, we will be happy to tell you how to entertain guests and celebrants.

Since husband and wife are always young at heart, it is worth paying attention to such entertainment from which the spouses will not get physically tired, but will be emotionally delighted. After all, a wedding anniversary is a holiday not only for guests, but to a greater extent for the celebrants themselves, and friends should make sure that lovers do not get bored this evening

Memories

In addition to congratulations and gifts, any wedding anniversary should include fun games, competitions and other entertainment. One of the most romantic entertainments for guests and the husband and wife themselves will be a film about how the couple’s relationship developed. Children, grandchildren and friends of the anniversary can create a short video in advance using photos of the couple. You can play up the video with humorous phrases written on each funny photo.

Cartoon

If you have an artist in your company, you can ask him to draw caricatures of the husband and wife. You don’t have to pose for this – a real artist spends the whole evening watching those around him, so he can easily depict a couple on canvas.

You can also ask guests to draw portraits of the lovers - this is quite a fun activity, especially if many of the guests do not have artistic talent. Give the finished drawings to the heroes of the day.

Men bake a cake

If the banquet is held at home, the men's team can give a gift to the women - bake some simple cake and decorate it with a scattering of edible pearls, if it is a pearl wedding, for example. Representatives of the fair sex will be able to laugh heartily at how their gentlemen try to cope with kitchen utensils and learn to understand the purpose of certain products.

Cool scenes for a wedding anniversary

A wedding anniversary is a significant date that is usually celebrated among friends and family. This is a great opportunity to congratulate the heroes of the occasion in an informal setting.

To please them on this day, prepare a small concert program, including funny ditties, songs and funny miniatures. These short performances will lift the spirits of the heroes of the day and guests.

Scenes on the occasion of a wedding anniversary

On your wedding anniversary, you can act out a cool scene with the participation of the padishah, his daughters and the vizier.

Presenter: – In one eastern country there lived a padishah, and he had three daughters. One day the chief vizier came to him.

Vizier: - O great sovereign! Give me your daughter as my wife. Padishah: - Okay, I agree. But which one do you want to marry?

Vizier: - Oh, lord! Let me see your daughters' faces so I can make my choice. Presenter: – According to Eastern laws, girls are not allowed to take off their burqa. However, why not make an exception for your future son-in-law? The padishah thought for a long time and finally agreed.

The padishah claps his hands, and three girls appear in the hall, their faces covered. They stand with their backs to the audience.

Padishah: - Leila, Zulfiya and Gyulchatai, my dear daughters! The vizier wants to marry one of you. Reveal your beautiful faces.

The girls lift their burqas, but the audience does not see their faces in this funny miniature.

The vizier asks the girls a question: “What is two and two?”

The first girl answers: “Three!” Vizier: - This wife will be thrifty.

Second daughter: - Four. Vizier: - And this one is smart.

Third girl: - Five! Vizier: - And this one will be generous.

The presenter addresses the guests: - So which daughter did the vizier choose? The guests give their answers.

Host: – The correct answer is that he chose the most beautiful one.

The vizier takes one of the girls by the hand and turns him to face the audience, but it turns out that it is a man.

At the end of this cool anniversary scene, the presenter says: “We hope that our heroes of the day made the right choice.” And we want to wish them a long and happy family life!

The next comic scene for a wedding anniversary involves a guy and a girl and Cupid, for whom you will need to make wings, a bow and arrows.

Arrange the chairs like in a trolleybus - passengers will sit on them. A girl with heavy bags containing textbooks enters the trolleybus. She approaches the guy who is sitting in the front seat: “Excuse me, could you give me a seat?”

Guy: - Well, I paid money for the trip! If you feel bad, then catch a taxi! Not only did she block the entire salon with her bags, but also give up space for her! Here they are, modern girls. No modesty!

The girl is indignant: “Here they are - modern men!” And they also ask: why don’t you get married? Why, come out here! Everywhere you look there are only hedgehogs!

But then Cupid appears and shoots at the young people. Slow beautiful music is playing. The guy looks attentively at the girl and says admiringly: “How beautiful she is!” What grace! How gracefully she holds these trunks!

The girl turns to the guy and says: “Wow, he’s cute and doesn’t look like a hedgehog at all!”

The driver announces a stop called “Advice and Love.” Young people join hands and get off the bus; the guy is carrying heavy bags. Passengers shout: “Love and happiness to you!”

And this short production ends with the actors congratulating the spouses celebrating a significant date and wishing them to preserve love for the rest of their lives, which helps to cope with any problems in family life.

For your wedding anniversary, you can stage comic scenes with the participation of gypsies. They appear at the celebration singing the song “Fashion Changes Every Day.” - We wish you happiness for years to come And good luck in everything and always, So that you grow younger day by day, Despite the years passing. And you take care of your love, Always help each other, May your home be a full cup, And may your friends not forget you!

Chorus: Well, what can I say, what can I say, This is how people are structured... Today is “bitter!” we will shout to you We will be together with the guests! Well, what can I say, what can I say, That’s how people are designed... Today we wish you happiness, Of course, we won’t forget!

Then they will offer to tell fortunes to the heroes of the day and guests. The girls will take out leaflets with predictions from the “magic box”:

Today is the best day for you! As the others!
A whole week of celebration and fun awaits you.
You will soon discover a lot of new things, but now please open a bottle of champagne.
Venus in the second house portends a big dinner with excesses and physical activity on the dance floor today.
Try to vacation in Hawaii three times a year, and then you will certainly be lucky.
This evening the stars are positioned in the sky so that everything you have dreamed of getting for so long is shining for you.

For their performances, the girls will receive gifts, which will be placed on a large tray. The gypsies will bring glasses of alcohol to everyone who presents gifts. This miniature will end with the presentation of gifts to the heroes of the occasion.

Gypsy women: – We give everything that the guests gave to the anniversaries. Pour everything into a glass, we drink to happiness!

Or you can act out a scene dedicated to the wedding anniversary with the participation of nesting dolls. Girls in Russian national costumes, with brightly painted cheeks, will appear in the hall. The show will be even funnier if you dress the men in matryoshka dolls.

Presenter: – Dear guests! Hit your hands. Matryoshka dolls came to us for our anniversary. Wooden spoons, rosy nesting dolls.

One of the nesting dolls says: “There is a holiday only once a year... New Year!” Happy New Year, dear ones, with new happiness! Prosperity and health to you and your loved ones!

- Have you eaten too much henbane, my dear? What kind of New Year? - another nesting doll is indignant, - when today... March 8th!

“Or the first of April,” continues the third. - Where did you get this from?

- And look how many cheerful people there are! – Well, it’s more like Valentine’s Day. Look how many happy couples there are here.

“Actually, we are celebrating an anniversary here,” says the presenter. – We knew it! - the nesting dolls answer in unison.

The comic miniature will continue with couplets sung by nesting dolls: - Why are we having fun, don’t skimp on words, Why are there so many guests here? We don’t wonder in vain, it has now become clear to us that today is a big anniversary.

Chorus: We will play, even on spoons, And our friendly choir will sing. It would be nice if anniversaries were celebrated every year!

And the nesting dolls will complete this scene at the celebration of the wedding anniversary with the performance of perky ditties: - The guests were whispering at the table, We heard the conversation. They say: they have never seen a more beautiful couple!

We see familiar faces And we want to hug everyone, We are asking for a golden wedding to invite us to visit.

And now we will shout “bitterly” and ask for a drink! We sang so many ditties - We need to wet our throats!

A real man (a real woman)

A cool competition suitable for the first wedding anniversary for participants of both sexes and any age.

For the competition you will need a women's handbag and backpack. In the bag you should put curlers, a set of tips, brasmatic, highlighter, green face concealer, lipstick, foundation, powder, comb and other cosmetics. The backpack should contain “male” items - pliers, screwdrivers, a set of bits for a screwdriver, a wobbler, a decoy, an expander, a spool valve, a pressure gauge, etc.

Man-woman couple. Spouses can also participate.

First they call a man and give him a woman's handbag. Within three minutes, he must find in it items from a list consisting of curlers, tips, brasmatic, highlighter and concealer, and then say how to use these things.

A woman receives a similar task, only she will have to find a set in her backpack consisting of pliers, a wobbler, a decoy, a spool valve and a pressure gauge. There are no winners in the competition, because it was designed to entertain guests.

As a thank you for their participation, you can give the couple handmade soap or medals with the inscriptions “Real Man” and “Real Woman.”

How to organize competitions?

Entertainment for a wedding anniversary is usually associated with its popular name, for example, for a pearl wedding - 30 years of marriage - small pearls (can be artificial) as a prize for the winners and sparkling verbal pearls would be appropriate. When planning to include fun competitions for your wedding anniversary in the script, you need to decide for yourself what kind of entertainment will be especially interesting in the intended company.

Competitions must be chosen based not only on the tastes and preferences of the happy spouses, but also on the character, age, and inclinations of the invited guests.

It is not at all necessary that everyone present take part in each competition. Especially if the guests include people of different generations: children, youth, older family members. Children love active competitions more. They will be happy to dance, read poetry, and sing songs. The main thing is that every child has the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. As a rule, there are no winners in such competitions. Well done to everyone, period.

If there are several families with children among the guests, you can organize a “Friendly Family” type competition, in which the most athletic team wins. During the celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary, newlyweds and their heirs will also be able to participate in such a competition. It is very easy to select tasks for competitions. Each family is given a certain time to draw a given picture, put together a figure from matches, or assemble a small puzzle or mosaic.

Gorgeous wedding

You can say the following words to the host-toastmaster: the bride and groom have already received their gifts from you, and now they want to give you the prepared souvenirs. The principle of the game is this: prepare paper bags in advance, which should be made from sheets of paper (but not necessarily). On each bag, write all the letters that appear in the word “wedding.” This way you will have 7 packages. Place a gift in each of them. Hang them up so that the word wedding appears. The name of the gift must match the letter written on the package. For example, in a bag with the letter “C” you can put a saber or a jump rope. In order for the guests not to get tired of playing, you can come up with tips that could be something like this: this is a decoration for girls if there are earrings or beads in the package, but this is what men had in ancient times (saber), etc. In a bag with the letter “B” you can put a fork or a bucket, of course, a toy one. For the letter “A” prepare an apricot or a toy car. Place a pipe in the bag with the letter “D”, and a brooch with the letter “B”. Unfortunately, the words don’t start on the soft sign, but you need to put something in the bag. There is also a way out of this situation. Place a soft toy or any soft thing there.

Tin wedding

Tin has been used in everyday life since ancient times, and even if it is unprepossessing, people need it. On this day, a married couple put a bucket filled with “fiery liquid” outside the gate. A ladle and a tin mug were placed nearby. Everyone passing by drank from the ladle for the health of the spouses. Copper coins were thrown into the mug so that there would always be prosperity, happiness and love in this house.

What to give for a tin wedding

As is already clear from the name of this anniversary, tin gifts and tin souvenirs would be appropriate here. For example, tin dishes, boxes for storing cereals, tea, spices, sweets in beautiful tin boxes, etc. You can approach it with humor and give cans of stewed meat, sprats, or drinks in cans, pasting your own wrappers and stickers with wishes on them. It will be nice and a lot of fun.

What could be a wedding anniversary scenario?

If the toastmaster is not there for the anniversary, the husband and wife can come up with competitions and entertainment themselves, for example, arrange dance competitions between couples in love or hold competitions in which relatives will answer questions about their family. Also, the option of celebrating an anniversary together involves a romantic evening, a night in a hotel or a week of relaxation in warm countries. In this case, only young people decide everything, focusing on their tastes.

The dates 10 years and 15 years from the wedding date are a little similar. Each of these dates is very important for a married couple, since not every family manages to live together for so many years in love and prosperity. The tenth wedding anniversary is called pink or tin, which means that gifts can be very different. In this case, the wedding should be decorated in pink tones; the emphasis can be placed on flowers and materials for decorating tables and chairs.

The first round anniversary must be celebrated magnificently, as it is very important for the family, for their relationships and love

Therefore, many psychologists advise inviting friends, relatives and colleagues to celebrate such an important event. The bride can wear a pink dress on this day, and the groom can wear light shirts, which can be combined with a light suit

You can come up with cool competitions and entertainment as a scenario. You can come up with separate competitions for children so that they can have fun too.

The fifteenth wedding anniversary is called crystal or glass. On this day, it is customary for married couples to give crystal or glass items. Since the material is very fragile, this means that the happiness of the young is also very fragile, so it must be protected. In competitions, you can focus on the long family life of the couple, on wishes of happiness, success and love. If there are children, the couple can wish for one or more children, and as a competition, come up with a lottery in which the family will find out who will be born next - a boy or a girl.

Calico wedding

Chintz is symbolic for the first anniversary; it signifies both the “chintz” simplicity that has already entered into the life of the spouses, and the fragility of the relationship, which, like chintz, can break if you pull too hard. But there is also good in this symbol: chintz is usually painted in bright colors, and this means that love in a young marriage has not yet faded under the yoke of everyday life.

In the days of our ancestors, the wife personally embroidered a tablecloth for a chintz wedding, which was laid on the festive table.

What to give for a chintz wedding

According to custom, on the first wedding anniversary, spouses give each other calico or silk handkerchiefs on which they tie knots. This means that the husband and wife bind themselves to mutual obligations: to maintain love for life. An elegant tablecloth and bed linen would also be good gifts.

How to celebrate a paper wedding at home

Some young spouses prefer to celebrate this date together, in an intimate setting, especially if they have not yet managed to acquire an heir.

Dinner by candlelight, with a bottle of wine and light snacks, exchange of words of love and lovely gifts - such a romantic atmosphere strengthens relationships

Holiday attributes can be: a beautiful snow-white tablecloth, paper napkins, garlands and lanterns.

How the two of you can celebrate 2 years of marriage after the wedding can be discussed in advance, or you can surprise your soulmate by first decorating the room, setting the table and preparing a romantic dinner.

Romantic dinner for two

Psychologists advise those who have a small child and who want to share the joy with their closest and dearest people - their parents, to spend their second paper wedding anniversary in the family circle. A nice family dinner, a leisurely conversation at the table can turn into a tradition of gathering with a narrow circle of the closest people, which today is of particular value, because in the whirlwind of everyday life, relatives do not have time to meet at the family table. To meet your family, you can prepare a multi-course lunch or dinner, buy a bottle of good wine, stock up on dessert, and the success of the event is guaranteed.

A married couple can invite relatives and friends to visit, and then the celebration will be more magnificent and festive.

You need to carefully consider how to celebrate the second paper wedding anniversary, how to decorate the interior and make the event not boring. You can pre-send creative invitations to guests, which are best done with your own hand, writing the original text in verse.

Near each cutlery you can put small paper cards on which guests will write down their wishes and congratulations. Then, from these cards, build a symbolic tree of wishes, which will stand in a prominent place and remain as a keepsake for the couple.

You can prepare a photo zone in advance, where guests, along with the heroes of the occasion, can take photos for the family album

Here you can place: paper doves or cranes, lanterns, butterflies, garlands of cardboard flags, hearts, flowers. On the press wall, place an inscription about the date of the event and the names of the newlyweds or wedding photographs.

Celebrating at home

Celebrating at home automatically places additional responsibilities on you: you will have to come up with competitions and entertainment yourself. But competitions should not be too much; there is no need to prepare too many of them. Hold a quiz during which you ask guests all sorts of questions about your wedding that took place a year ago. Come up with active games - they will amuse the company.

Include a chintz photo shoot in your entertainment. This type of photography is suitable for celebrating at home, in a restaurant or outdoors.

As you can see, there are many good ideas for celebrating. You can develop a script yourself, using only some of the points discussed above as a basis. When the anniversary, or rather its celebration, comes to an end, launch fireworks or Chinese sky lanterns. There should be as many lanterns as there are guests you invited - then everyone can launch them, believe me, everyone will like this idea. And what could be more touching and beautiful than such a finale to the holiday?

We wish you to celebrate the first year of married life with your closest people, get a lot of pleasure from the holiday and look at the photographs taken on this day on your golden anniversary!

Wedding anniversary 10 years

Pink wedding

The first big wedding anniversary which has two names, pink and tin weddings. The symbol of a pink wedding is a rose. It symbolizes feelings that have not disappeared over time, but have only intensified. They have become much stronger and more loyal since they passed the test at ten years. The thorns of a rose are a reflection of all the difficulties and obstacles that the couple had on their way.

The second name for a pink wedding is a tin wedding . Symbolizes the flexibility and strength of family relationships. The symbol of a tin wedding is tin.

The anniversary festive table is decorated with fried poultry in pink sauce, and the wedding bed is strewn with rose petals (despite the fact that this is not the couple’s first wedding night).

What to give for a pink and tin wedding

On their tenth anniversary, guests give the spouses roses and put tin spoons in their jacket pockets. On this day they will serve as a kind of amulet.

You can choose any item as a gift. The main thing is that it is painted in pink or red colors. This is explained by the fact that these are the tones that symbolize love that has stood the test of time and which is not afraid of thorns or life’s troubles. A good aged red wine will be a pleasant surprise.

Preparing for the celebration

To ensure that your chintz wedding goes off with a bang, treat the preparation process with due attention. Find a suitable room, decorate it, then select musical accompaniment

Find or create your own script for a chintz wedding - prepared in advance, it will help to avoid force majeure circumstances. And the cool competitions that will be present in the script will amuse all the guests at the chintz wedding.

Decoration of the celebration venue

Chintz is a symbol of the first anniversary; stock up on light chintz curtains, tablecloths, and napkins. Modern textile stores offer a variety of chintz products made in a festive style. The overall color scheme should be white or other pastel shades, so you should choose light chintz decorative elements. There are many rituals associated with calico fabric, so purchase several pieces of calico in reserve.

Place pots or floor vases with green flowers around the room. Greenery symbolizes the relationship between the young. Tie containers for flowers with chintz multi-colored ribbons.

To decorate a chintz wedding at the highest level, watch this good video example that clearly demonstrates how to decorate a holiday:

Warn your guests about the celebration of a chintz wedding, and about the appropriate clothing. Inform invited guests that calico attire is encouraged. The guests themselves choose what they will be, bright or modest.

Musical accompaniment for the anniversary

During the chintz wedding, various musical compositions by domestic performers will be used. So, at the beginning of a chintz wedding, it is necessary to include the well-known “Oh, the box is full, the box is full.” When the newlyweds enter the hall, Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" sounds. Such pleasant songs should sound throughout the evening, then the guests will feel relaxed throughout the wedding and be willing to participate in competitions.

Tongue Twisters

An interesting and fun competition. You can watch the video to see how to do it:

A fun and active competition that will bring joy to the audience.

Calico table runners (optional), liquor bottles or skittles, several thick blindfolds.

Everyone of both sexes. Guests invited to the 1st wedding anniversary are divided into male-female pairs.

Partners are placed at a distance of several (ideally 5-6) meters opposite each other. Paths are laid between a man and a woman, on which 2-3 bottles of alcoholic drinks or skittles are placed. Men act as sappers who must walk blindfolded through a minefield to their partner and avoid stumbling upon bottle mines. The highlight of the competition lies in the fact that after putting on the blindfolds, the presenter quietly removes the bottles from the path and gives the start to the “sapper” movement.

All participants receive prizes - they are given diplomas for successfully passing the minefield.

There are a lot of ideas for competitions for a 1-year wedding anniversary, but few interesting ones. We hope that the options that we have selected for you will allow you to have an unforgettable and fun holiday.

Competitions for the second wedding day or wedding anniversary.

Of course, the second wedding day or the anniversary of the wedding is usually not prepared as carefully as the wedding day itself. However, these days are no less important and are designed to remind and consolidate the most pleasant impressions of the wedding. After all, now a much narrower circle of close friends and relatives is invited. This means that their entertainment should, perhaps, not be very large-scale, but certainly carefully thought out and fun.

What would be fun without games and exciting competitions? Here are some easy ways to entertain your guests.

Unusual options

Surprising a child means leaving a mark in his memory for a long time. Original competitions for children at a wedding will make kids remember the celebration they attended with admiration and delight.

"Wedding Balls" Children are divided into two teams. Each team is given several deflated balloons, in which pieces of paper with tasks were previously inserted. One player from both teams is called up. Children inflate balloons. Whose balloon bursts first announces the task to the opponents.
"Ariadne's Thread" Each participant is given a ribbon. The baby’s task is to wind it into a ball and find the prize. It is more interesting to play the game outside, then the ribbon can be passed through tree branches and other obstacles.
"Cabbage". Children stand in a circle. They are given a small gift, wrapped in several layers of paper. The “cabbage” begins to walk in a circle, and each child can remove only one leaf from it. The prize goes to the one who removes the last piece of paper. In order for all the children to receive prizes, the winners need to be turned into active fans, adding pace and excitement to the game.
"Wonder Beast" The presenter asks the children questions about non-existent animals, for example: “Who is a telebison?” or “Where does Stovirat live?”, and players must answer them in detail. Winners can be identified in several categories.
"Find the treasure." This game is best played outdoors. All children are united into one team, which will have to go in search of treasures. The guys are given the first note, which indicates where to look for the next one. The last of the notes says the place where the treasure lies (sweets and gifts).
Competition for children at a wedding “Bring me...”. Children are divided into two teams. The presenter calls one player from each team and asks them to bring him an item, for example, red lipstick. A point is awarded to the team whose player was the first to bring the required item. The team whose players score the most points wins.

The competition for children at the wedding in the video below turned out to be very fun:
