HOLIDAY Feast
Leading:
Oh, you, guests, gentlemen! We called you here, So that you don’t dare to get bored, Let us start. I hope from the bottom of my heart - Let's have fun! We will begin our feast with honesty - We ask everyone to sit down!
Leading:
Our dear newlyweds, (names of the bride and groom)! Dear parents! Dear guests! Today we have gathered here to celebrate the most important and joyful, most significant event in the lives of our young people - the day of their marriage, the day of entering into a lasting union. From this day a new page in their life begins, and what it will be like depends only on them.
A toast to the newlyweds: Wedding is a beautiful Russian word! The bride is all in white, and next to her is he, whom she, with tender love, still calls her groom. Their parents look at them expectantly. How they want their children to always keep gratitude in their souls and never forget about them. Today there is fun, and toasts, and jokes, And tomorrow ordinary days will come, When you will have to follow the same fate Through the heat and blizzard through life. But no matter what happens, may peace and harmony settle in your little home forever. Let the children grow up, and let them call you a happy mother, a smart father. And let your love shine joyfully, Like a rainbow in the sky washed by rain. Let only the two of you see yourself in every dewdrop and every tear! Please accept this solemn verse as a gift, We raise a toast to you, to both of you. Now, as usual, you will have to divide both grief and joy in half. And now, dear guests, we want to read:
Leading:
Today you were invited to the Celebration. For many this is the first time at such an evening, so I will read you the rules of conduct for the evening.
Rules of behavior at our wedding: 1. You can’t be bored, you can joke. 2. You can’t be sad, you can sing and dance. 3. Look at other people's wives and husbands, but don't forget about your own. 4. We forbid you to swear, fight, argue under the table. If you've had a little too much to drink, it's better to go to sleep in silence. 5. Without further explanation, everyone should keep their place. Pouring juice or wine into a neighbor’s pocket is prohibited. 6. Don’t grumble or swear, don’t kiss everyone, don’t get angry under any circumstances, have fun with all your heart. 7. If someone mistakenly took melancholy with him, Urgently put it in the refrigerator, For cutlets to the cook. 8. If before leaving you found someone else's things on you slightly. This, really, is not a problem. But we strictly forbid going home when someone else’s husband or wife is next to you!
Leading:
Having familiarized ourselves with the rules, let’s not forget about the young people:
A toast to the young: Walking through life hand in hand You must forget, friends, boredom, Know how to give in to each other And don’t dare to offend yourself. We wish you happiness, and only let the crafty, uncontrollable “Bitter!” be heard again and again. And so that there is not bitter love. Bitterly!
Leading:
Before we continue our evening, let's get to know each other. I ask the bride and groom to introduce their family, close and dear friends. (The young people begin to introduce everyone sitting at the table in turn, for example, clockwise, if there are few people - 30...40 people, then they introduce everyone, if more, the toastmaster interrupts the presentation of the guests after 20...30 introduced people and continues to conduct the evening further)
Leading:
Dear and respected guests, today everything is new for our young people. Today they started a family, but they don’t even know what a family is, let’s introduce them:

Leading:
A toast to the family created today...
Leading:
My friends! We received two documents:
Resolution of the Women's Federation: The insidious "enemy" (name of the groom) snatched the fighter for women's freedom (name of the bride) from our ranks. We decide:
- (name of the bride) make a report on the topic: “How to entangle a bachelor” and award her the Order of Family Happiness (his photo).
- In financial work, observe the old division of labor. Give your husband the honorable right to earn money; take the thankless but important task of spending it upon yourself.
- Avoid your husband's presence when buying clothes; your husband should not know the true price of things. This will save his nervous system from unnecessary shocks.
- Cross the street where he wants, but take him where you want.
- Do not let your husband go one step away from you, so that he does not stray from the righteous path. Don’t forget: the husband is the head, the wife is the neck, I’ll turn it wherever I want! But turn it so as not to lose your head.
- Promise to give your husband a son or daughter if he raises them himself.
Resolution of the Bachelors Society: With deep regret we inform you that the bachelors have suffered a heavy loss: married (name of the groom), an honorary member of the Bachelors Society. With pain and indignation, we learned that recently, he often visited the address __ (the bride’s address), where he lured __ (the bride’s name, surname) into the net of love and persuaded her to legally marry. And therefore the society of bachelors decides:
- Exclude (last name, first name of the groom) from the society of bachelors.
- Sasha went through many tests, showed courage and bravery. We award (name of the groom) the Order of “Saint (name of the bride)” (photo of the bride).
- We wish happiness to the “traitor” and his bride.
- (name of the groom), remember: you took your wife - forget the silence!
- Carry your wife in your arms, she will sit on your neck.
- Don't argue with your wife, she will always think you are right.
Leading:
Dear guests, today is a very significant day, we have already met the heroes of the occasion, but if not for their parents, this day might not have happened.
A toast to the parents: Let's raise a cheerful spell to those who raised this glorious couple. Those who knew neither sleep nor peace in their life forged such great happiness for them. The parents are sad, a little sad. We will not judge them harshly for this. After all, this has long been their eternal destiny. Each of us would like to support them. We know that children have been married from end to beginning. Love has married them for many years. And you, without hiding your concerns in the least, must lead them on their marital journey. For your work and worries, for everything you could, Let the children bow to you to the ground. And we, in turn, are good guests, For your work as parents, we will simply tell you: Let time fly, but don’t grow old, Let your grandchildren grow, you become younger in soul, Good luck to you, a huge increase in health, We raise a festive toast for you.

Toastmaster:
How did the word “family” appear? Once upon a time the Earth had not heard of him, but Adam said to Eve before the wedding: “Now I will ask you seven questions: - Who will give birth to children, my queen? And Eve quietly answered: “I am.” – Who will raise them, my goddess? And Eve meekly answered: “I am.” – Who will look after the grandchildren, oh my joy? And Eve still answered: “I am.” “Who will cook the food, iron the clothes, caress me, decorate my home?” “I, I,” she answered, inhaling, “I, I.” This is how “FAMILY” came into being. Dear _______ and _________! Peace, harmony and joy to you, Happiness and bad weather are all in half. Let the house glow with a kind smile, good wine, and a kind housewife. Good husband, good wife, Let's drink to friendship, family happiness. They drink. They bring the fire on a tray (dry alcohol burns in a ceramic bowl).
Toastmaster:
From our grandfathers the custom came to us to bring fire to the house of the newlyweds, so that they could light a reliable and familiar hearth of the family, a symbol of great love, and so that its fire would give warmth and light of love, and joint work in life, so that everyone in your house would be warm , And life was happy and interesting. And the more beautiful your life is, the hearth will burn brighter! The young people are given a fire accompanied by music and applause.
Toastmaster:
We raise a toast to you, to your love, to your happiness! We drank.
Toastmaster:
Guests! We ask for silence! You must accept the WEDDING CHARTER!
WEDDING CHARTER FOR GUESTS
If you came to the wedding, dressed up, put on perfume, you are now nothing more than a private at the wedding! Therefore, listen to the Wedding Charter, drink and eat between the lines! If the wedding breaks out: “BITTER!” You scream as much as you can, Wedding Rules, sigh quietly, Drink a glass and eat. If they say a toast to the table, immediately raise your glass! Support the initiative with dignity. If you can’t drink, rest! If a wedding song breaks out, You don’t know the words, don’t be timid. Sing without words, your neighbor will join you, Sing along - sing along! If dancing suddenly starts, walk in a circle, stand up boldly! Know that everyone benefits from a shake-up. If you don’t know how, squat! So, drink more, be sad less! Don't hide the traffic jams! Don't snack on flowers! And don’t be discouraged - you may get seriously hurt! Guests! Brothers! What is happening! Look at these faces! Everyone has drunk and is silent, but the wine is bitter, It’s only inconvenient to shout, But in reality: BITTER! BITTER!... Volleys of balloons. Guests drink while standing.

CODE ON MARRIAGE (wife)
To make your honeymoon last for five years, the Code is somewhat harsh It must be strictly observed. This code is very old, But you won’t find it in a century, And for each new couple It is good in its own way. Make the room cozy, so that your husband, when he comes home, will be absolutely satisfied with the situation and you. Learn to cook deliciously. Prepare a salad so that even the cabbage leaf in it looks like a grape. Women are divided into 3 parts: Body, thoughts and soul. In every part there is a drop of happiness, Give it to your spouse slowly. Always meet your husband with a smile, Look into his eyes, Tell him about all your mistakes, Ask him about all your affairs. And without laziness, tell him your business, so that in a friendly exchange, radiate a flow of warmth. Don’t drink, don’t torment your husband, For various matters, You are a wife, and you are a spouse, And not a rusty saw. We stand for the fact that there would be peace in the world, not war. This means that in your own apartment you must maintain peace. But don’t be a complete simpleton. If we say that your husband is lazy, you, removing only the shavings, sometimes plan him. But don’t plan it all at once, And not with empty phrases, But with example and demonstration, With your personal business acumen. If you sometimes don’t agree with your spouse’s opinion, Be as resilient as a twig, Don’t say “NO” or “YES.” Smile pleasantly at him And slyly stay in the shadows, Slowly, delicately turn the course of events. But a little boring So that the family paradise does not become, You always observe this code SMARTLY and HOLY
CODE ON MARRIAGE (for husband)
So that your honeymoon lasts 20 -30 years, the Code is somewhat harsh. Remember, it contains a big secret. After the wedding, sleep peacefully, Do not disturb your wife in her sleep, And behave with dignity, If there are wrong people in the room. Take care of the budget and maintain order. Don’t keep your money a secret, give it all to your wife. And over the years, and with deeds, do not forget about love, And call your wife Dear! If children appeared and more troubles, Both are to blame for this, But add more worries to yourself. Wash the baby's diapers, cook semolina porridge, don't spare your strength, don't say rude words. Always be shaved, have your hair cut, be neat and not fat, you won’t be offended by your wife, if you are silk like canvas. You must take care of your wife, bring hot coffee to bed and slippers at serving time. Milk the cow at first light, cook dinner and lunch, fix the iron and tiles, wash the apartment on Saturdays. Make the beds in the morning, wash the diapers clean, shave your mustache in time, wipe the kids’ noses. If you follow these tips, you will be the best husband in the world! The prosecutor leaves.

All guests should not be discouraged, dance until you drop! You came out into the circle of guests under a veil, Blinding the walls with whiteness, As if a tender cherry blossom had showered its leaves on you. You make the walls of the house turn white, How beautiful your wedding outfit is, How you dance smoothly, weightlessly, like a snow-white swan.
The young people and the guests are dancing. Break. Competitions and games are held.
Toastmaster:
We've danced, it's time to catch our breath. Let's take bread and salt! Eat bread and salt and listen to a kind word. Friends! Fill your glasses with wine, Let joy reign at our table! We drank. Postman Pechkin rides in on a bicycle. Pechkin: Hello! It's me, postman Pechkin. Can you tell me where the wedding is? Toastmaster: Postman Pechkin, you just happened upon her. Who do you want? Pechkin: Let's see now. So-so! Valuable parcel post, telegrams, parcel. Is reading. Wedding. To the bride and groom. But I won’t give them to them, they don’t have documents.
Toastmaster:
No, no, postman Pechkin. They just received a wedding certificate today. We are all witnesses. Pechkin: Well, if so, then I present the parcel to the bride /with a saw/. We give you a precious item, Hello to my husband with this item! The saw was not for firewood - for marital purposes, They drank with it until the roosters crowed. And in the morning he gets up, you drank again, Then you started to earn money. If he doesn’t like your dinner, take a drink instead of a tasty seasoning. The husband will eat and only praise! And you constantly try to saw! And as soon as you show your item, your husband will tenderly say: “Dove, hello!” And for you, groom, another little parcel /with iron fists/. We give you not chain mail, not a saber. You are not in a military battle, but at a wedding. They will be useful to you forever, so that your wife will bow before you. Wear them, never take them off! Otherwise, dear, you will be in trouble! And you will dream of devils all night long, If you take off your mittens. Make your wife cook delicious food, and always use a mitten to push her. Caress it more often with your prickly hand. Happiness will flow to you like a river. If you take your wife to the manufactured goods store, then put the mittens on the goods, The mittens will serve you well, If you store them, you will use them approximately! And in this parcel there is a bottle of champagne with paintings of the guests present here. But you will open it when your first child is born. Now listen to the telegrams. He reads out the telegrams and leaves.
Toastmaster:
So that the sun shines on the young And there is so much happiness in life, So that there is enough until the last days, Let's shout BITTER in chorus! Yes, young people kiss sweetly, but in life you have to divide both grief and joy in half. Moreover, in every family there is a distribution of responsibilities. Tell your fortune using a chamomile, you will find out your roles. Chamomile with responsibilities. The bride and groom take turns tearing off chamomile petals and reading out their duties.
Responsibilities
I will love you tenderly, but I will not forget to saw you. I’ll be the first in the kitchen in the morning, I won’t forget to wash the dishes. I will take care of you and undead you, I will not forget to wash your socks. I will give my entire salary, I will not forget to buy flowers. I’ll cook a delicious lunch, I won’t forget a bottle of beer. I will go to the theater with you, I won’t forget to take you to the cinema. I won’t create a scandal, I won’t forget the beautiful words. I will wash the diapers myself, I will not forget to walk with the child. I will be obedient, kind, faithful, I will not forget to give gifts. I’ll go shopping, I won’t forget to wash the floors. I will adore you, And I will forget about men. I will love you all my life, I will forget to think about women.
We have heard that you will cope with the responsibilities in your life, and now you will overcome the obstacle that will come your way. Pull the ribbon, the groom must carry the bride in his arms.
Toastmaster:
Great, just well done! And here is the counting commission, which will announce the result to us (announces). But who will we give the family budget to? Friends, we will not be in order unless we solve the riddle, Which of the newlyweds should be the head! And we’ll probably find out if we treat them to a loaf of bread. Explain that bread must be broken; whoever has the most is the leader.
Toastmaster:
And now, as a sign of the unification of the two clans and your hospitality, treat everyone with bread. But that is not all. Let our young people know the secrets of wedding plans, That storks often bring children into empty nests, Or leave them in cabbage, Or bring them straight into the house, So that neither peace nor sadness may arise in that house. So that chicks can be found more often, transforming your family, as has been the case for a long time in Rus', you must clear up the mess. The young people treat the guests to bread and porridge. Toastmaster: And we will drink this wedding glass to the bottom, So that the husband is the best of husbands And the wife is the best. We drank.
Toastmaster:
While we were drinking, walking, dancing, having fun, Evgeniy and Irina did not waste time; they successfully completed courses at the Family Construction Academy. And we want to present them with diplomas. Diploma of the bride This “diploma” was issued to someone living in the city, down the street, in house no. This paper claims to have taken a course in marriage and family sciences. During the training I demonstrated the following knowledge:

Toastmaster:
Let's check how our young people know each other. For the groom: recognize the bride by kissing (the groom is seated on a chair, three girls are called, he is blindfolded; the bride always kisses). To the bride: recognize the groom by his hands (five men). Why are you guests laughing? Now we will check you too! Guests: recognize your wife by her knee, by touch (they call one married woman and several girls, the girls sit on a bench in a row, cross-legged, the man is blindfolded). Let's raise our glass to the one who became the chosen one, whose beauty Eugene preferred and in whom he found many virtues. We wish, Ira, to always be loved! Consider the union of hearts indissoluble! And let the husband report every day that he dotes on his wife, that for him she is more beautiful than everyone else, for (name) – our bride! We drank.
Toastmaster:
We have problems in life, However, everyone cares about blood in life. Openly to some, and secretly to others, Simple feelings - friendship and love. Love... Is there anything else that brings so much light to life? She does not like boredom and peace, Love is not just a feeling - a craft! So let's drink to those who are waiting, forgetting that there are others. Whom it is impossible not to love, For those for whom only one eye shines with love forever. For that love that transforms life, That makes the heart beat again, For that love that conquers troubles, We drink to true love!!! We drank.
Toastmaster:
The young people ask you to stand up and invite you to dance! With its shining beauty, our young swan invites all honest people to dance. We had a drink, a break, games, competitions.

2nd day
In the doorway there is a table at which the Opohmetologist, Head Aibolit Pokhmelyaevich, and the Happy Lover are sitting. On the table are bottles of lemonade, vodka, wine, water, champagne. Labels on the bottles:
Lotteries for the second day

Toastmaster:
They say love is not verbose: suffer, think, figure it out. In my opinion, this is all conditional, we are people, we are not crucians. And if you really want to make your head spin with happiness, Speak up, people, say the best words! Wedding witness: Both the groom and the young lady may live for 100 years without knowing any troubles. So that they respect each other, So that they love and help, So that families honor the laws And love their parents. Wedding witness: May your love not melt away like smoke, You, husband, do not forget that you were born a man, And a woman is your weaker half. Give her flowers, talk about love, take a heavier load for yourself. Wedding witness: Let the wife be affectionate and kind, She will guard the family hearth. Feed your hubby more deliciously, then you will enter his heart more firmly. Wedding witness: May peace and tranquility settle in the family, May you live until your golden wedding! Let every day be lived in harmony, And may God grant you to live such a life, Which is similar to a good song, And a song is not easy to put together.

Wedding guests: rules of behavior
A wedding is a test not only for the main culprits of this event - the newlyweds. Guests also have certain responsibilities at a wedding, the main one of which is to follow the rules of wedding etiquette.
Yes! There are such rules, and they are based on common mistakes and incidents in order to avoid, for example, a brother-in-law snoring in a bowl of salad or aunties singing under the wedding table. Nobody likes to take chicken bones out of their jacket pocket, hidden there by a tipsy Marya Ivanovna, or to watch San Sanych twist the tablecloth on which he had previously knocked over a glass of vodka.
Speaking seriously, the rules for guests at a wedding are important and dictated by one single desire - not to overshadow the holiday for the young.
The leading Internet search portal www.4banket.ru recalls these simple rules.
How should the newlyweds' loved ones behave?
If the actions of parents at a wedding are almost completely regulated by the ritual side of the celebration, then wedding etiquette makes slightly more demands on the witness, as well as friends of the bride and groom, than on any other guests.
As a rule, the outfits of these people make them stand out from the rest of the guests:
- The best man and the witness, who can also be called “best man” and “groomsman,” most often tie a special ribbon on themselves. Or they wear special flowers that are pinned to the buttonhole or bodice of the dress. The friend, like the bride, can choose a dress with a floor-length skirt.
- In a European-style wedding, the bridesmaids and groomsmen, who play a secondary role, often wear the same outfits. So, for the groom's friends, suits of the same color and cut are chosen, and for the bridesmaids, dresses are made to order.
At a wedding, the best man and groomsman are often the main organizers or assistants. According to etiquette, the witness is required to accompany the groom to the bride price, to the registry office, and also at the banquet. In this case, it is the witness who is given the wedding rings for safekeeping.
How a groomsman should behave at a wedding and what duties to perform depends on the wishes of the bride. Usually the most devoted friend or sister is chosen to play the role of groomsman, who helps the bride with choosing an outfit, as well as with hair and makeup on the wedding day. But often a professional stylist is invited for the latter. At the same time, during the wedding, the witness should not remember or somehow illuminate the bride’s past, because what may seem funny to her may be regarded by the groom’s parents as something indecent. And such a disclosure of the past will cause family conflicts, for which the bride will not be grateful.
Wedding invitation rule
It says: when you receive a wedding invitation, be sure to respond to the newlyweds.
Firstly, this is the law of politeness.
Secondly and thirdly, “silent people” who do not react in any way to the invitation they receive cause anxiety and discomfort for the young. And they already have enough pre-wedding excitement!
If you accept the invitation, write or communicate it verbally. At the same time, warn in what part of the wedding day you will be expected - will you be at the registration office at the registry office or will you appear only at the wedding banquet. The newlyweds need to calculate the size of the wedding procession and the transfer of guests from the restaurant.
If it is impossible to accept the invitation, it is all the more necessary to inform the newlyweds so that they have time to adjust the list of those present at the wedding banquet.
Note : married couples always receive an invitation for two.
But if you are not yet married, the desire to bring a friend to the wedding should definitely be discussed with the inviting party.
How to ruin a wedding: bad advice from wedding specialists
We wondered how often brides and grooms make mistakes when planning their wedding, do not listen to the advice of professionals, and then regret it later. And who else but wedding specialists should know what these mistakes are.
Natalia Nova
Wedding planner
Advice: be sure to try to do everything in one wedding day: a trip to the registry office, a wedding, on-site registration, and don’t forget to walk with the guests! After all, a wedding day is one of a kind, you need to get the maximum of emotions, experiences and... fatigue from it. Under no circumstances go to the registry office the day before, and don’t arrange the wedding a week later or the next day - the effect will not be the same, and you won’t be able to gather guests. This is exactly what one of our brides reasoned. And indeed, she hardly slept the night before, already at 5 am the stylist came to her, because at 9 she and the groom were expected at the registry office, and then we were in a hurry for the wedding, which we asked to do as soon as possible... Unfortunately, the walk didn’t work out anymore, as the bride’s temperature rose... Already quite tired guests arrived at the restaurant, where they languished from idleness and boredom for almost three hours - they didn’t need the entertainment we offered, they just wanted to sleep. The result of everything: already at 8 pm the bride asked to take out the cake as soon as possible, because fatigue and temperature, which probably rose precisely from overexertion, made themselves felt. And all because she did not want to listen to the wedding planner and insisted on such a busy and difficult wedding day. |

Tip #1. Schedule registration at the registry office for ten o'clock in the morning. This wedding took place in August. Registration at the registry office was of great importance for my clients; all guests had to come to it. And everything was fine until, when drawing up the timing, the bride remembered that registration was scheduled for 10 am. Now I'll explain. In order for registration to take place at the time indicated above, the bride must wake up no later than six o’clock in the morning to get ready (and God forbid that she also schedule a photo shoot on that day). Before 9 a.m. at the latest, young people, their parents and guests must have breakfast and put themselves in a formal state. After registration at 10 am and a bottle of champagne shared between the guests, the logical continuation will be a photo session in which the newly-made husband and wife together with the guests ride around the city. As a rule, people arrive at a restaurant or banquet hall at 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon. Question: what to do with guests all this time? That is why we always recommend that brides schedule their signature at the registry office no earlier than two o’clock in the afternoon if the wedding is somewhere outside the city, and about four o’clock in the afternoon if a restaurant or banquet hall is not far from the ceremony site. This way, you will have time to sleep, have breakfast, calmly clean up, go to a photo shoot and arrive at the registry office on time. That time we didn’t have to come up with anything supernatural to optimize the timing - after explanations, the groom himself convinced the bride to do an off-site registration, to which guests would be invited at 16:00. Official registration became a formality, the happy and well-rested bride came to the registry office in a light white summer dress, after which she changed clothes, the newlyweds had time to have a little lunch and left even more satisfied for the photo shoot. Tip #2. A photo shoot outside the city at dawn is so romantic. This happened to my mate when she was not yet mine. Wedding in July. Initially, the bride planned to organize everything herself, but decided to start by choosing a wedding photographer. We needed a photographer for the whole day. When looking at the portfolio, only one stuck in her soul. Hourly payment, the concept of “wedding day” is absent. Then it’s standard: the bride makes an appointment to “get to know each other better.” At the meeting, the photographer suggests starting the wedding day at dawn. “You should get some really nice pictures,” he says, showing someone’s photos. The inspired couple agrees without hesitation. As it turned out after the meeting, the cost of his work was a fifth of the total wedding budget. After some time, the guys hired me to organize the wedding and, having learned about this situation and briefly looked at the “dawn” photographs, I described the approximate timing. Dawn in July is around five o'clock in the morning. Getting up - I don’t even know, at three in the morning? In a field outside the city? IN A WHITE dress? Unfortunately, at that time I was not able to convince her to give up on this idea - the dawn photo shoot took place, the bride was buying a second wedding dress, the photos had not yet been received... Therefore, the outcome of the undertaking is unknown. |

Advice: every close friend and relative at your wedding should be busy, distribute all tasks among the guests, and relax. It is a bad idea. Don’t bother your family and friends with worries about your wedding, let them relax both during preparation and on the day of your celebration! As a last resort, you can entrust each of those who want to help with some small task so that the guests feel involved: for example, a mother or grandmother can prepare jars of jam to compliment guests or plant flowers in pots that can be used in the decor. But still, it is better to entrust the solution to the main issues to professionals: a decorator, a stylist, an organizer. For your loved ones, just show concern and please them with memorable surprises: it could be a video with your childhood photographs, a song as a gift to your parents, or any other creative gift. Then the day of your celebration will pass without unnecessary hassle and will be remembered by all guests for its lightness and unique mood. |

Tip #1. Be sure to make the wedding banquet program so rich that guests cannot even think about getting up from the table. Let one talent replace another and let there be no end to them. This way you will immediately kill two birds with one stone: you will spend a lot of money, and the guests will not be able to communicate with each other. Tip #2. Never, hear, never have a buffet before the wedding ceremony. It’s better to let your guests look forward to the end of your ceremony and pounce on the food as soon as they are allowed into the hall. Tip #3. How great it looks when the printing doesn’t match the decor, and the decor in different areas differs in color or style. Only artificial flowers are better, especially when there are a lot of them. Let everyone know that you did not spare synthetics! |

Del Arte Wedding
Tip: invite a host/photographer/florist from a “flower stall near your home”, based on recommendations from friends or relatives. This is one of the common mistakes when organizing your own holiday. Firstly, the tastes and preferences of all people are completely different, so it often happens that what one person likes, will be completely unacceptable for another. It is for this reason that when one of his friends or relatives recommends, for example, a “cool presenter,” he primarily relies on his experience and his taste. Moreover, he most likely saw this presenter or photographer at work only once, maybe twice. There is nothing to say about the florist; this is such a delicate, painstaking and complex work that you need to be very careful in your choice. The difference in the agency’s approach to choosing a service provider is that, having already had quite a decent amount of experience behind them (3-5 years of work in the wedding industry, or even more), the wedding planner, from a variety of specialists, will suggest exactly the one who suits you personally. Based on your wishes, wedding style and budget, he will select several suitable proposals for you. After all, the organizer has something to compare with - for dozens of weddings held, he has worked with many presenters, photographers, and so on. As a result, he developed a certain rating of these professionals, as well as a so-called “circle of trust” - specialists in whose professionalism you can be 100% confident. The organizer knows who is easy and comfortable to work with, what to expect and what result the client will get. Personal experience: A few years ago we were involved with a wonderful young couple. At a certain stage, the bride’s best friend decided to intervene in organizing the wedding. She studied forums and websites and, based on the “experience” she gained, found a host for her friend. We, of course, did not use an ultimatum to dissuade the host from being unfamiliar to us and offered to help the bride in the negotiations. Despite the fact that we were embarrassed by the extremely low cost of the work (the friend proceeded from considerations of economy, because, in her opinion, the services of a presenter cannot cost that much money), the almost complete absence of a portfolio and any reviews of the work, we still supported the bride, but they warned about the risks. The young man seemed pleasant to talk to and promising. Having worked with him on the entire script, timing and all organizational aspects for a month, we waited for the wedding day. Unfortunately, he did not live up to expectations - starting with his lateness at the time of gathering the guests, ending with awkward pauses on his part and his complete inability to quickly react to different situations, because you constantly need to be on the same wavelength with the guests, in close contact. And then there were ridiculous jokes and primitive impromptu competitions (at the meeting it was immediately agreed that there was no need for competitions). Fortunately, in addition to the host, artists were invited who smoothed out the impression of the wedding program. The bride later admitted that she regretted her choice and that she had listened to her friend and not the wedding planner. |

Wedding printing and decor
Advice: all wedding professionals who need guest lists (planner, decorator, for printing invitations and seating, for a restaurant, etc.) need to immediately, as soon as you have the first ideas of who to invite to the wedding. It’s so fun - then regularly inform everyone about changes to this list, constantly communicate with the coordinator, ask to add one more table in the restaurant, and then remove two, print one additional invitation per week and go pick them up individually... And never before reserve a couple of extra seats in the restaurant and a couple of invitations just in case, because if someone wants to come with a person you didn’t count on, that’s their problem! |
Wedding dress rules
According to the rules of wedding etiquette, none of the guests can or should compete with the bride. The white color of the outfit is her monopoly. Invited ladies can choose a two-color outfit, where white will appear, but only in an additional, and not the main, background capacity.
It is also not customary for ladies to wear black and red outfits to a wedding. Black evokes mourning associations, which does not suit a wedding at all. And red attracts too much attention from the opposite sex. And the dominant figure at the wedding, we remind you, is the bride!
For the same reason, too deep necklines and extreme minis are not allowed.
Note : if you receive an invitation to a themed wedding, you should try to dress according to the theme indicated in the invitation.
Wedding etiquette for the bride and groom
If a young husband wants to make a proper impression on everyone present, then his actions should be dictated not only by rituals, but also by the rules of etiquette. How should a groom behave at a wedding? First of all, be:
- gallant,
- polite,
- neat,
- reserved,
- cheerful.
He must also support the bride in everything, actively participate in the competitions proposed by the presenter for the groom, and not leave the bride alone. As for dancing, in different traditions the groom is allowed different behavior:
- He can only dance with the bride.
- He can also dance with their mothers.
- And in some cases, it is believed that a wedding is the last day when the groom can dance with any unmarried girl. In this case, he is simply obliged to dance with each of the girls present.
What to do at your own wedding is up to everyone to decide for themselves. If something happens, you can consult with the toastmaster or with your parents.
As for the rules on how a bride should behave at a wedding, here is the advice:
- Be ready for the ceremony a little earlier than it is scheduled to take place.
- Have spare powder, mascara and lipstick with you.
- During the photo, hold the wedding bouquet just below the waist so as not to cover the dress.
- Have a duplicate bouquet of artificial flowers. This one will be easier to throw, and if the first one is damaged, it will be a good replacement.
But most importantly, during the wedding, only one thing is required of the bride - to be and feel the happiest and most desirable.
Children at a wedding
If the invitation kindly does not indicate the name of your child, then, by default, you are expected without one.
A wedding, in the classic version, is a long and grueling event that not every adult can endure, let alone a child, especially if he is small and still needs a nap during the day, for example.
Providing the baby with the necessary nutrition, sleep schedule, necessary care and attention - all this is difficult at a wedding. But you also want to relax, dance and wait for the fireworks, instead of leaving the holiday in its midst, just because it’s time to put the child to bed and he’s exhausted.
Note : sometimes newlyweds, wanting to see people dear to them at the wedding, provide some amenities for their children - a separate children's table, animator services. But this doesn’t happen at every wedding.
Wedding Gift Rule
It is not customary to come to a wedding without a gift. Moreover, a wedding gift is not just a bouquet of flowers for the bride, it is something significant, commensurate with the event.
One of the most common wedding gifts is money. The amount in the envelope should, at a minimum, cover the newlyweds' expenses for your wedding food.
If you are planning a gift with a subject matter, then before choosing it, it is advisable to find out the wishes of the newlyweds. Perhaps they need an iron, but they already have the tea set you're targeting.
A very functional principle of a wedding gift exists in the West. There, the young people, without any embarrassment, attach to the invitation a list of items that they want as a wedding gift and the address of the store where these items can be purchased. Convenient for both guests and young people who are insured against duplicate gifts.
Note : when going to a wedding, stock up on small banknotes. They will come in handy when fun competitions and wedding cake sales begin.
