Friends! We have a special date! The first stone was once laid, There was once a beautiful wedding, And now he has reached his fortieth birthday! And forty years, as the poet said, is a time of accomplishment, maturity, and victories! Let's raise the first musical toast to our heroes of the day and their growth!

everyone sings a song in chorus to the tune of “unfortunately, it’s my birthday...”:

From nature as a gift, the day is beautiful and bright! smile, friends, have fun! Today is a wonderful holiday, today, as you know, you are celebrating a big anniversary!

chorus: Congratulations! Your family is 40 years old! This is the overall best holiday. there are no strangers!

suddenly a wizard will fly in in a blue helicopter and start presenting awards. He will give you medals that you have preserved your family with love for all 40 years chorus.

Ved. Let's remember the previous years and days that you lived then, let the photos of previous years and productions remind you of the situation at that time!

A video made from photos and videos of the heroes of the day is being shown. Ved: You have lived together for 40 years, there have been ups and downs during this time, but you managed to save your marriage. Such a strong union is very rare in our modern world, and therefore your couple is an excellent example both for your children and for everyone around you, and you can be rightfully proud of this. Ruby is a red gemstone, a transparent variety of corundum. Ruby is second in value after diamond. And its color ranges from pink to deep red. After processing, the ruby ​​turns into a beautiful gemstone. It’s the same with family relationships: after cutting and polishing over the years, they become stronger and stronger, able to withstand numerous life blows. Through joint spiritual labor, like corundum, spouses wear off the sharpness of relationships and smooth out the roughness of their characters. And now, years later, their love not only did not fade, but flared up with the bright fire of a ruby, turning into a unique jewel. Love is always associated with warm colors: a red heart, scarlet lips, red roses, fires of sunrises and sunsets, hot pulsating blood. All this merged into ruby. The Ruby Wedding is a celebration of true love, preserved despite all the difficulties of family life and twists of fate. The first toast is made by the children of the celebrants. Our dear mom and dad! You have long ago passed the basics of the science of love, you were diligent students - the ruby ​​of your love now shines with eternal fire. We, your children, took up the baton of this flame, we became your students. Now your grandchildren are growing up, ruby ​​reflections are already on their faces.

Ved: Kind words, dear guests! Today we would really like the heroes of the day to feel like a king and queen on the throne. Therefore, we are happy to present them with a gold crown (worn on the hero of the day) and a golden diadem (worn on the hero of the day) and invite them to listen to their loved ones. After all, for you, today’s 40th wedding anniversary is a gift to rejoice in the love and affection that your loved ones and friends have for you, and for us, it’s a reason to come to the people we love so much and say what’s in our hearts. So, dear guests, with your hand on your heart, so hot and ruby, find kind words addressed to the heroes of our occasion by deciphering the card you have chosen. Cards in the form of rubies, they say 1. Ministry of Internal Affairs 2. Air Force 3. Housing and Communal Services 4. DOU 5. TASS 6. Communist Party 7. PMK 8. UPI 9. SINH 10. NTV 11. RTR 12. VAZ 13. ZIL 14. OKA 15. DRSU For example: OVD - we adore Valera for a long time. Ved: Our heroes of the day have been living together for so long that they understand each other without words. I invite everyone to stand in a circle. Game “Sign Language” Host: How many languages ​​do you know? You don’t even realize that you know another language besides this. And this is sign language. And now we will use it. Stand in a circle. 1. When we greet each other, we shake hands. This gesture is now clear to everyone. And in China in the old days, when greeting people, they shook hands with themselves. We dance, shaking hands with ourselves. 2. If you get to Tibet and a passer-by sticks out his tongue at you, don’t be upset. This will mean - “I am not plotting anything against you. Stay calm!". We dance, sticking out our tongues. 3. If a resident of Spain pulls down the lower eyelid with the index finger of his left hand, this will mean “Caution!” We dance, pulling the lower eyelid with the finger of our left hand. 4. To express admiration, we clap our hands. And in Brazil, when they admire something, they will grab your earlobe. We dance holding our earlobe. 5. Laplanders rub noses when greeting each other. Let's rub noses with the person standing next to us and dance.

6. To express a sign of admiration, Mexicans will put three fingers together, press them to their lips and make the sound of a kiss. We pretend to kiss like Mexicans and dance.

7. In Egypt, the greeting gesture resembles a salute - the palm is placed on the forehead. Place your palm on your forehead and continue dancing.

8. Well, it’s time for us to stop dancing. Russians wave goodbye from top to bottom. But a Latino would take this as a gesture of invitation. But Latinos, when saying goodbye, raise the palm of a friend to their lips and gently blow on it. Let's try to say goodbye in Latin. (Everyone takes the hand of the person standing next to them and blows on it.) Suddenly loud music, Baba Yaga bursts into the hall. B.Ya. Look how pretty they are, and how beautiful they are. (approaches the celebrants of the day) That’s what lucky me today. There will be a great dinner. Ved. Wait Yaga, what were you thinking? Today is a holiday for people and you say such things. Aren `t you ashamed? B.Ya.: What did I think? I live as I live, all hedgehog grandmothers live like that. It's boring here in the forest. You will go mad from such a life. Anniversaries: Baba Yaga, we invite you to our holiday. Will you go? We have fun and there are a lot of guests and food) and no one will have to eat. There is music and dancing. B.Ya. How can I go to you without a gift? Wait a minute. (runs away and brings a chest) I, FOREST Baba Yozhka, walked here towards you along the path. She hurried as best she could and carried the chest with her. Gifts here suit different tastes. I undertake to hand them over first. For a wedding, a ruby ​​one I give you a beautiful tablecloth. It will decorate any table, be it wooden or any kind. (gives a tablecloth) And I give you ruby ​​candles, I’ve been looking at them for a long time. Place it in your Mistress's room and it will be more fun. (hands over candles)

Top 9 original competitions for guests

A silver wedding anniversary is a family celebration where the newlyweds are surrounded by relatives and family friends. It is imperative that among the invitees there must be all the children and grandchildren of the heroes of the occasion, if any were born. Close people can organize a holiday consisting of traditions and rituals, entertainment and competitions. It is necessary that the silver wedding was noisy, fun, carefree and memorable for both the guests and the newlyweds.

When drawing up a competition program for guests, it is worth considering their age. After all, at such a celebration, most of the guests will be the same age as the newlyweds. It is recommended to include various tests that would relate to moments from family life that are interesting and known to the majority of those invited.

Here are some of the most interesting competitions for guests:

"The Merry Road to Happiness"

. Two teams are created from the invited guests. The task is to lay out the longest possible road. To do this, you can only use those things that the team members have on them. The team with the longest road wins. It is recommended to choose younger and more relaxed guests for this competition.

. The essence of this competition is that guests take turns naming those families where the relationship and feelings between the spouses lasted or are lasting for many years. The winner is the one who gets his bearings and, along with the famous Romeo and Juliet, says the names of the heroes of the day.

"Oscar of the Perfect Family"

. Invitees are asked questions in cinematic style about a 25-year-long life series. For example: who is in the leading role of the Ivanov family (husband, mother-in-law, wife), who is the producer and financial agent of the family, who chooses the location for filming the film in the summer. The advantage of this quiz is that you can learn a lot about the couple and thereby amuse the guests. Based on the results of the competition, the newlyweds receive a prize in the form of an Oscar statuette for the best and ideal married couple.

The one with the best poem wins.

"Family Balance"

. Only couples can participate. The following task is to hold the ball between each other during active dances. Holding the ball with your hands is not allowed. At the moment when the music stops, the couples must burst by pressing each other. The winner is the couple that copes with the assigned tasks perfectly.

"With friends"

. The guests stand in a circle, music plays, and they pass the balloon to each other. Those who did not hold the ball, or who remained in their hands when the music stopped, stand inside the circle. Next, they pull out a piece of paper with the task and complete it. As a task, we offer you to dance various original dances. For example: dance of little ducklings, passionate tango, lambada, macareno, lezginka, gypsy girl and so on. It is worth noting that you will need to prepare a task and musical accompaniment for each dance in advance.

There may be many silver wedding competitions for invitees, but when choosing them you should focus on their behavior. For some, a calm and sophisticated celebration program will be suitable, while for others, original and fun competitions will be very appropriate.

The main goal of any wedding ceremony is to create a comfortable and festive atmosphere for both the newlyweds and their guests.

Anniversary name and color

The anniversary, which the couple celebrates for 40 years of marriage, is called the Ruby Wedding. Ruby is a precious stone that acquires incredible beauty through long-term processing. Over the course of 40 years spent hand in hand, a husband and wife become skilled craftsmen, turning their marriage into a piece of jewelry.

The color of the stone is also important. The classic color of a ruby ​​is blood red, although it can vary from pale pink to burgundy. The color red represents true love and unquenchable passion, which over 40 years have become stronger and acquired new bright shades.

Therefore, in the interior of the room where the anniversary is expected to be held, bright and rich colors should prevail. It is advisable to use red as much as possible. It can be combined with white - you get a solemn combination of the palette.

To decorate the interior, you can use red curtains, balloons, ribbons, napkins, funny posters, paintings, photographs of family life, and anything else that suits your imagination.

Traditions and customs for a 40th wedding anniversary

According to an ancient tradition, on this day of their 40th wedding anniversary, the spouses must change the rings to others, with ruby ​​inserts. As a sign that they have lived to see this day, maintaining home warmth, wisdom, love and harmony. And pass on your old rings to your children and grandchildren to preserve and enhance the traditions of family happiness.

There is also an interesting custom that came to us from the Caucasus mountains, where there are much more centenarians. On this day, the couple picks a ripe pomegranate from the tree. The head of the family must break it into two parts with his hands. The couple, to the applause of the guests, feed each other pomegranate seeds in turn, saying an affectionate word with each grain. It is believed that if the pomegranate is completely eaten, and the words of love have not yet dried up, then the spouses did not live their long life in vain - in true love and mutual understanding.

Preparing for the anniversary

Preparing for an anniversary involves creating a festive atmosphere.

In order not to forget anything, it is worth making a list of all the necessary things to do for the anniversary:

1. Creation and distribution of invitations.
2. Choosing a location (home, restaurant, nature).
3. Interior decoration.
4. Menu creation. It is advisable that red foods be present in the dishes. Red wine, as a symbol of the ruby ​​anniversary and a strong life together, is a must on the table. A wedding cake decorated with scarlet strawberries will be the apotheosis of the feast.
5. Creating a script. Those present should remember this event for a long time. It is important to have games, competitions, prizes and skits. You can leave the scenario for a ruby ​​wedding to the invited toastmaster, or you can come up with it yourself. By the way, this can be a wonderful gift for parents for 40 years of life devoted to each other.
6. Thinking through your own images. The heroes of the occasion must be different from the guests, be bright and positive.
7. Clarification of details.

Preparing for the evening according to the “Pink Wedding” scenario (at home and in a restaurant)

The key to a fun evening is good preparation. According to our scenario, a pink wedding can be organized at home, in the country or in a restaurant. You just need to decorate the room beautifully and select the necessary props. Cover the tables with pink tablecloths and red or purple napkins. On the wall behind the “newlyweds”, make a beautiful light drapery and form a large heart or a pair of wedding rings from red roses on it.

In addition to decorations for the hall, for the evening you will need:

1. The veil is pink.
2. Small rose boutonniere.
3. A large bouquet of roses in a crystal vase.
4. Petals for sprinkling anniversaries.
5. Pink glasses.
6. Pomegranate (fruit).
7. Several toy combat grenades.
8. Large signed postcard cut into pieces.
9. A large pink toy (such as a teddy bear) with a handbag.
10. Small gifts with a “pink” theme.
11. Three piglet masks.
12. Three “nickels” are paper circles about a meter in diameter.

Anniversary scenario options

The scenario for a ruby ​​wedding depends on the preferences of the spouses, the number of guests, the location of the event, financial capabilities and imagination.

You can arrange a cool holiday - a pseudo Green Wedding. Everything should be similar to the wedding day: a bride price, vows and new “wedding” rings, witnesses, presentation and signature of the “document,” a limousine, as well as other wedding nuances are required.

If you wish, you can get married or go to the church where the wedding took place, or visit other places memorable to the “young” people. You can replay the ceremony at the registry office. To do this, a person close to the family must play the role of a representative of the registry office.

Immediately after all the ceremonies and festivities, the couple can leave for their “honeymoon.” An excellent gift from guests will be trips to a resort or abroad, where this wonderful time will be spent. A new old wedding is a great present for the anniversary of 40 years of marriage.

Another good option would be a themed anniversary - a masquerade. The topic can be absolutely anything. The main rule is that all those present must wear suits and, if desired, masks.

It is still advisable to take into account the ruby ​​date or number of the event. It’s good if everything around reminds you of 40 years of family life or a precious scarlet stone.

In the case of a themed masquerade, you need to take care of the food, which should also be themed. You can create your own dishes and come up with themed names for them.

If the culprits of the event lead an active lifestyle, they will like the idea of ​​holding a celebration in the mountains, in the sky in hot air balloons, or at sea on a yacht. The essence of such a scenario for the 40th anniversary of the wedding is to amaze those present with magnificent landscapes, show creativity, please yourself with an adrenaline rush and make this important day unforgettable.

How to celebrate your 40th wedding anniversary?

Some superstitious people believe that celebrating a ruby ​​anniversary is a bad omen . However, this is not justified. Moreover, if you are wondering whether 40 years of marriage are celebrated from the wedding day, think about the fact that the heroes of the occasion are already 60-70 years old and who knows, perhaps this date will be the last anniversary of the family. A ruby ​​wedding should definitely be celebrated!

Ruby anniversary is a great opportunity to gather family and friends around the same table

If you decide to celebrate your parents' ruby ​​wedding anniversary, you will have to face a "heap" of organizational issues - from where to celebrate 40 years of marriage after the wedding, to the color of napkins and balloons in the design of the room for the special event.

Celebrating the ruby ​​anniversary - celebration script

Before moving directly to the celebration, we would like to remind you that a themed gift for such a date will be very useful. Since the wedding is ruby, the best gift would be to give ruby ​​jewelry.

Gold rings with rubies and diamonds: first; second, all SL (prices via links)

Finding ruby ​​jewelry for a man is not so easy, but don’t worry: quality cufflinks with a masculine style will always come in handy.

To hold the celebration, you can invite a toastmaster, who has a fully prepared holiday script. You can ask him to use funny riddles with a trick at the ruby ​​wedding. For example, questions may concern wedding anniversaries.

Instead of a toastmaster, one of their friends is often asked to be the host of the holiday.

If among your loved ones there is an active person suitable for the role of toastmaster , in order to save money, you can ask him to be the host. Ideas for a scenario for celebrating a ruby ​​wedding with competitions are available on the Internet. When choosing an original script, you should take into account the characteristics of the contingent that will be present at the gala event. Quizzes and entertainment for young people are not suitable for older women and men.

You need to diversify the solemn congratulatory part with competitions and dances . You can hold some competitions to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary at the table. For example, you can organize a quiz with questions about the lives of the heroes of the occasion. Tasks can be like this:

• how the heroes of the day met;
• when their first child was born;
• tell a funny incident from the life of a family;
• what can the life of the heroes of the occasion be compared with;
• where they signed, etc.

At this age of the spouses, a heartfelt celebration scenario will be relevant. You can organize an evening of remembrance using traditional “rituals”.
For example, “newlyweds” are offered to eat a paired cherry together. The seeds from the berries are not thrown away, but planted in the ground. Over time, two trees with intertwined trunks will grow in this place.

How to celebrate an anniversary - 40 years of marriage

Very often, children organize a ruby ​​wedding for their parents. Let's remind you a little about traditions.

Children, grandchildren, relatives and closest friends should be invited to a ruby ​​wedding. It doesn’t really matter where you decide to hold the celebration – in a restaurant or at home. The main thing is a warm and relaxed atmosphere. When decorating a celebration, it is good to use ruby ​​tones and red fresh flowers.

The clothes are elegant, but comfortable - the celebrants are already over 60. Include elements of scarlet or ruby ​​color - for example, a ruby ​​tie for the husband, and for his wife - earrings with ruby ​​stones, garnet beads.

The table is set with red napkins, the birthday cake is decorated with scarlet. Serve with dry red wine or ruby-colored liqueur. For dessert - red berries, grapes, pomegranates.
