Home / Dream Interpretation

Which includes competitions, toasts and the most popular traditions. The 2017 wedding scenario for the host can be very useful, providing an opportunity to update the repertoire and delight the guests at the wedding.

The ceremonial meeting of the newlyweds

Friends and relatives line up in a living corridor in front of the restaurant and sprinkle rose petals on the bride and groom. Their parents meet them at the entrance. Mothers hold a loaf of bread, and fathers hold a tray with glasses.

Toastmaster says:

“Dear newlyweds! Your friends and family arranged this pink rain for you so that your life would be as easy, bright and beautiful as rose petals. Now it's time to receive congratulations from your parents. Your mothers greet you with bread and salt. Break off each piece from the loaf and salt it well.”

When the newlyweds fulfill the request, the toastmaster says: “Did you add salt? Now feed each other. And let this be the first and last time in your family life when you annoyed each other.”

The newlyweds eat bread. Toastmaster continues:

“Take the glasses from the hands of your fathers. This is not an ordinary drink. It is made with honey to make your life as sweet as honey. It was infused with petals of exquisite flowers so that the bride would always be irresistible. Oak root is added to it so that the groom will always be strong. Drink this magical elixir and may all your dreams and desires come true.”

In front of the restaurant door, you can immediately resolve the issue that worries many present - the gender of the first child. Wedding scenarios are not complete without collecting money in sliders during the feast, but in 2017 I want to bring new ideas to this ritual.

“Now break the glasses. Now we can find out the gender of your first child. If the fragments are large, then a boy will be born, if small, then a girl will be born.”

Lovers break glasses. Then the host solemnly invites the bride and groom with all the guests to the table:

“Everything went according to the law -
They sealed the marriage with a crystal ringing.
And finally the hour has come
Everyone go to the banquet hall."

Toasts and table games

The wedding scenario should include toasts and fun table games that will help the toastmaster maintain the appropriate mood of the guests. If a theme evening is planned, then the host’s speech should be accordingly. For example, for a pirate wedding scenario, references to treasures and the sea would be appropriate. And during a classic wedding banquet it is better to use simple, sincere and romantic words.

First toast

Look how beautiful the bride is
And how charming the groom is.
And today at a wonderful wedding
Wishes and toasts for them.
Perhaps it's time for everyone to have a drink.
A friendly “Hurray” for the bride and groom.
So that they can be completely happy,
Let's drain our glasses to the bottom!

Toast to parents

This cannot be forgotten
The moment is solemn and tense.
Let's raise our glasses friends
For the parents of the newlyweds.
How difficult it is, let everyone know
And how joyful it is to raise children.
My toast, no doubt, is very important:
For fathers and mothers!

Before you say a toast to your parents, do not forget to give them the floor to give parting words to the newlyweds.

Table game "Neighbors"

Right hand raised
And they waved to the young people.
Well, the left hand drops easily
On your neighbor's right knee.
The right hand is hot
We will hug our neighbor by the shoulder.
And everything looks decent.
Does everyone like everything? Great!
Let's push the neighbor on the left,
Let's wink at the one on the right.
Let's take a glass in our hands,
We'll quickly fill it to the brim.
The fun continues.
Clink glasses with your neighbor on the right.
And of course no problem
Clink glasses with the neighbor on the left.
Together, everyone gets up from their seats,
Let's say in unison “Congratulations!”
And we drink everything to the bottom!
Don’t forget to have a snack and pour a new one.

This game will undoubtedly lift the spirits of your guests and bring a lot of smiles.

New competitions for wedding script 2017

When drawing up a wedding scenario, we suggest paying attention to competitions that are popular in 2017, which the toastmaster or host can conduct:

"I kiss." Pair competition. Men take turns kissing girls, naming the place to kiss: cheek, neck, hand, etc. You cannot repeat after your opponents. The one who comes up with the most places for kissing will win.
"Musical group". A pair competition in which women play the role of musical instruments, and men play the role of musicians. First, the musicians rehearse in turns, and then pretend to perform together to a popular song.
"Dance Battle" It is necessary to divide the guests into male and female teams. Witnesses or newlyweds are appointed captains. The players’ task: during the battle, synchronously repeat the movements of the captain. Then you can swap captains.
"Crazy dancing." Place participants on chairs and invite them to dance with different parts of the body (arms, legs, eyebrows, tongue, etc.).
"Repeat." Several guests repeat funny tongue twisters after the host. You can invite participants to talk with candy in their mouth.
"Present." Men are asked to write on a piece of paper what they will give to their ladies. And women tell how they will use the gift, not knowing what they will be given.

On the website you can find many more different interesting competitions for a wedding banquet and for a modern bride price.

Scenario 2017: wedding traditions and rituals

First dance

The noise of the wedding verse is not in vain.
I ask the loving couple to stand up.
After all, the sounds of music are exciting, beautiful
You are invited to dance the first dance.

As a rule, the wedding dance of the newlyweds takes place during the first dance block. You can include it in the 2017 wedding scenario, as the very first dance at the celebration.

Bouquet and garter toss

Everyone is interested to know
Who will be the next bride?
Get into line, girlfriends.
Throw the bouquet, your bride.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome.
Who will get the garter?
Groom, don’t be deceitful, don’t be tormented.
Throw on command: one, two, three.

No European wedding scenario is complete without throwing a bouquet. This tradition has been particularly popular at weddings for many years, especially among unmarried girls. After all, everyone is interested in knowing who will walk down the aisle next.

Family hearth

The family hearth is a fairly old wedding custom, but it should not be excluded from the modern scenario of 2017. Many newlyweds still dream of performing this ceremony. After all, this is the most touching and sentimental moment of the celebration.

The newlyweds hold a large candle, and their mothers have lit candles in their hands. To a beautiful background melody, the presenter says:

“From time immemorial we have cherished the custom:
Bring fire to the born family.
To kindle such a familiar hearth of family for them is a guarantee of great love.
May there always be light from him,
There will be good luck and a happy journey together.
May everyone in your home be warm,
And let life become serene"

“Dear parents, I invite you to light a family hearth for your children. Thus, conveying to them your warmth, love and care. Help them take the first step towards a happy future together"

Parents light a candle. The presenter solemnly announces:

“Dear guests, you have witnessed a magical event - the formation of a new family home. Dear newlyweds, take care of him. Let this fire illuminate your path, give you warmth and help you overcome all life's obstacles. And now it's time to make wishes and blow out the candles. Everything you wish will definitely come true!”

The final stage of a modern wedding celebration, which the host must take into account in the script, is cutting the cake. After which the newlyweds say goodbye to the guests.

We have presented only one of the possible wedding scenario options. You can supplement it with other competitions and rituals, depending on the wishes of the newlyweds.

A home wedding can be chosen by newlyweds for several reasons: in order to save the family budget or if they want to organize an event in a narrow circle of relatives. Many simply do not like restaurant service and cuisine, preferring a familiar environment. But in order for the holiday to be fun and emotional, it is necessary to prepare a scenario for a wedding at home without a toastmaster, with competitions and games. Having thought through everything down to the smallest detail, the newlyweds ensure not only themselves, but also all the guests, a great mood for the whole day.

Newlyweds meeting

Immediately after the painting at the registry office, the newlyweds drive up to the house where the wedding celebration will take place. Guests greet them, rejoice and congratulate them on their marriage. You can create an impromptu corridor: those invited stand in two lines, leaving a passage for the bride and groom. Relatives sprinkle the newlyweds with rose petals, rice or coins. In the following scenario, there may be several options:

Parents stand at the doorstep of the house and offer the newlyweds to break a plate for good luck. Afterwards you need to collect all the fragments, wrap them in cloth and leave them as a souvenir.
Also, another tradition at a wedding is to step over a white sheet of paper, which is placed in front of the newlyweds on the ground. This action means that the spouses begin their life together with a clean slate.
Here, at the threshold of the house or in front of the door of the apartment, you can present a loaf of bread to the young people. Ask them to break it, salt it and feed each other. The broken piece of the pie is used to determine who will be the head of the family.

Strength tests

The first test for the groom will be delivering the bride to the festive table. He must do this by carrying his wife in his arms. If the wedding is taking place in an apartment building, then you can simplify the task by using the elevator and lifting the girl only on the first and last floor.

Next, the spouses are given a script to determine their family responsibilities. To do this, you need to prepare in advance pieces of paper with a list of to-dos. The young people take turns choosing them and reading their responsibilities out loud, saying before this the phrase: “I will...”. Possible list:

bring money to the family;
cook food;
wash and iron clothes;
take out the trash;
lie on the couch and watch TV series;
change baby's diapers;
chatting with friends on the phone;
make repairs;
go to the store for groceries;
travel;
help your child with homework;
screw in light bulbs;
go to all the film premieres.

You can come up with many options for such responsibilities. The main thing is that the scenario for the wedding taking place at home should be created by a person who is closely acquainted with the newlyweds. Then it will be really fun and interesting.

Banquet part

After all marital matters have been clarified, the guests are escorted to the tables. It is important to properly organize a place for a feast at home, leaving space for dancing and for holding competitions. If the room is very small, you can stop at the buffet table and also create an area with soft armchairs and a sofa.

Having gathered at the table in a small company, guests traditionally make the first toast to the newlyweds. The second is for the parents of the newlyweds, and the third is for love. After drinking and eating a little, everyone is ready for further entertainment. According to the scenario, one of the first competitions may be to test the newlyweds’ ability to cope with simple household chores:

The bride can demonstrate how she peels potatoes quickly and efficiently.
The groom is given the opportunity to show how he can hammer nails. The details you will need are a wooden board and nails. And instead of a hammer, slip a rolling pin or any other object that comes to hand.
A speed competition is held between the young people to see who can swaddle the baby doll faster.

Competitions for parents

It is necessary to involve all guests, as well as the parents of the newlyweds, in the festive program at the wedding.

According to the scenario, a fun competition is invented. Two pairs are created. First: son-in-law and mother-in-law, second: father-in-law and daughter-in-law. Parents will act as infant babies. They will need to put on a cap, tie a bib and feed them puree from a spoon. Whichever young person completes this task faster will win. The competition is accompanied by loud exclamations of “wa-wa.”
Parent couples are invited to sing lullabies to a pre-prepared soundtrack or karaoke. Future grandparents will need this very soon. Guests can sing along.

According to the scenario, you definitely need to think about incentive prizes for participants. They can be with jokes or simply symbolic.

Fun for witnesses

If witnesses are present at the wedding, then they simply need to be involved in the competition. This is a job for the toastmaster, if there is such a person at the holiday. You can come up with a funny dance with clothespins. According to the scenario, participants are blindfolded. There are clothespins attached to their clothes from different sides. Then, to the music, they must find all the details from each other. Whoever does it faster will be the winner.

For witnesses, you can organize a cool question-and-answer scenario to learn facts from the life of the newlyweds. Questions regarding the bride are asked to the groomsmen:

in which city the bride was born;
favorite color;
what genre of cinema does he prefer?
what was the name of the first teacher at the school;
at what age did you have your first kiss?

Possible questions about the groom that are asked to the witness:

how old is the groom?
whether you served in the army;
favorite hobby;
What are the parents' names?
what affectionate word he calls his wife.

The winner is selected based on the number of correct answers. If the wedding is held at home without witnesses, then these competitions can be organized among the relatives and friends of the newlyweds, creating two teams according to the scenario.

Fun for guests

Following wedding traditions, a mandatory point of the holiday should be the abduction of the bride and further ransom. If the area of the house or apartment allows it, then you can try to organize the theft by hiding the young woman in another room. For ransom, you can demand money or the performance of some action on the part of the groom or witness.

Musical accompaniment at the holiday also plays an important role. It is necessary to create a playlist in advance that includes songs for every taste. It is important to make sure that none of the guests gets bored; everyone takes part in dances and competitions.

The wedding evening will end with everyone eating the wedding cake. This moment can also be played out as an auction, offering to buy a piece for a certain amount, which the guests themselves set.

Continuation of the banquet

Many newlyweds invite their relatives to the second wedding day. According to the scenario, a buffet with snacks and drinks is arranged. For about 20 guests, you can hold an original competition for the best costume at home. Guests are warned in advance that they must dress up. Table games are popular, and they don’t require a lot of space or props to perform. A bag of sweets is passed around between the guests. Everyone chooses as much as they want. The mystery is that inside the candy, under a candy wrapper, there is a piece of paper with a phantom wrapped in it. For example, the guest is invited to make a toast, sing a song, or tell a story about how the newlyweds met.

You don't have the opportunity to have a wedding in a restaurant? Or maybe it’s more comfortable for you to spend this day within the walls of your home? Do you want only close people to be around on your wedding day, and not be surrounded by hosts, musicians and waiters? Celebrate your best wedding day at home according to an original scenario! And to ensure that the celebration does not transform into an ordinary feast, the Svadbaholik.ru portal offers a cool wedding scenario that can be easily translated into reality without the participation of a toastmaster. Minimum costs and maximum fun guaranteed.

Scenario for a wedding at home: meeting and feast

If the wedding takes place without a toastmaster, but according to a ready-made scenario, it is still necessary to choose people who can take on the role of hosts. The best option is a witness with a witness. The scenario for a small wedding should begin with the meeting of the newlyweds. Usually newlyweds are supposed to be greeted with a loaf of bread. But we offer an original comic version. The witness shows the guests a bagel and invites the newlyweds to determine the head of the family for the next few hours. After this action, the witness in the wedding scenario hints that it would be nice to have a bagel at home for the daily election of a temporary commander-in-chief.

Feast: down with banality

Guests are invited to the wedding table. The witness gives the opening speech:

We have gathered here for one reason - to celebrate the most wonderful birthday of a new family. Another family ship sets off on a journey across the bottomless sea of life. Let neither the Ninth Wave nor the Bermuda Triangle get in his way, but his main companion will be boundless happiness. And now we simply must choose a boatswain who will maintain order on the ship.

Guests are encouraged to look under their chair seat. Whoever has the whistle attached there will become the arbiter of order, signaling before each toast and calling those around him to silence and concentration. Next, the rules of the wedding celebration are read out in the form of a comic verse.

I showed up to the wedding on time,
Perfumed, dressed up
You are no one else now -
This wedding is private.
Read the charter quickly
Have fun, but be aware.
If the wedding screams: “Bitter!” -
Make as much noise as you can.
Tired - sigh quietly,
I drank a shot - you can sit down.
If a song is sung,
If you don't know the words, don't be shy.
Sing beyond words - your neighbor will pick you up,
Just sing, be more friendly.
If there is a toast at the feast,
Drink a glass quickly.
Support the cause with dignity,
If you can't drink, don't interfere.
When suddenly the dancing starts,
Quickly enter the circle quickly.
Know that a shake-up is always useful,
If you don't dance, rest.

The time has come for the newlyweds to have their first kiss. The witness announces the first command.

A moment of attention, the command “Bitter!” sounds. But the first kiss is in all respects the most valuable. The starting price is announced, don’t skimp on your savings.

Helpers help raise the amount for the first kiss auction. The last winning number will determine the number of kisses in the name of the winner. The money is transferred to the young family.

The witness proposes a toast to the parents.

Today there is a toast for you - “Advice and love to you”,
And I will celebrate those who gave you flesh and blood.
Who, sparing no effort, ran to your crib.
And with persuasion, patience, he fed you delicious porridge.
I didn’t sleep at night, I was worried, being sick with you.
And he warmed the milk with love - it was all in your childhood!
Who took us to the garden to the ends of the earth, also studied together,
And he was there when you went on your first date,
Who gave you warmth, love, attention all your life -
Father and Mother - these are the two most valuable titles on Earth!
From everyone, my deepest bow to you and all words of recognition!

The floor is given to the parents of the newlyweds. After this, the witness invites the guests to become closer and closer and proposes a toast to the guests. Next, according to the home wedding scenario, you can move on to a dance program for a small company without the participation of a host or toastmaster. If a continuation is necessary, you can diversify the wedding gatherings with comic table games. A few of them are presented below.

Rose-colored glasses

The game perfectly lifts the mood and helps guests relax. The only props you need are rose-colored glasses. One of the guests or the one who plays the role of the host, for example a witness, puts on rose-colored glasses and approaches the nearest guest with a compliment: “You have an amazing smile, how have I never noticed this before.” The points go to this guest, and he follows the example of the host - he turns to his neighbor at the table and tells him something pleasant. The chain of compliments does not stop, the guests are passionate and happy, because everyone will receive pleasant words.

Helper calendar

The presenter emphasizes that the first year after marriage is the most difficult, so it would not hurt to help the newlyweds cope with their responsibilities. A prop appears - a hat with templates of notes and instructions in the form of calendar sheets. They must be prepared in advance. Each piece of paper contains an order and the month when it needs to be completed. Then the name of the guest who will take out the note is entered there. Examples of notes:

January- instilling a love for a healthy lifestyle, taking newlyweds to the skating rink.
February- warm up from the winter cold, take a steam bath.
March- add brightness to the lives of young people, wash the windows.
April- saturate life with romance, arrange a romantic dinner.
May- Recovering strength, prepare barbecue.
June- we are preparing the ground for the little ones, buy a pack of diapers.
July- expand your life horizons, take a ride on a ferris wheel.
August- express our love by organizing fireworks in honor of the newlyweds.
September- We lend a helping hand to fix the marital bed after the honeymoon.
October- we organize a cleanliness day, wash the family limousine (or bicycle).
November- protect from household problems, do general cleaning.
December- we organize a holiday, decorate the Christmas tree and decorate the house with garlands.

Scenario for a small wedding: entertainment program

It's time for the newlyweds' first dance. After this moment, according to the script, a dance break of the wedding evening begins, during which competitions can be held; they can be easily organized at home.

A happy wife and husband admire each other all day. The time has come to look at them - here is the first dance of the young!

The scenario for a wedding at home involves several competitions for the newlyweds between the dances. At the same time, it is important not to forget about the guests so that they do not get bored.

Competitions for newlyweds

Funny prank

Participants: newlyweds.
Props: blindfold.

The bride is blindfolded and told that she needs to recognize her betrothed by kisses. The interesting thing is that only the groom will kiss the bride. But she doesn't need to know about this.

Favorite knee

Participants: newlyweds and guests.
Props: blindfold.

A blindfolded groom must guess his bride's knee. For fun, you can invite several guys to participate.

Competition for guests

Dance flash mob

Absolutely all guests can be involved in the competition. The most charismatic and flexible guest is selected, after whom everyone else will repeat the dance moves.

Next, the presenter offers to find out who will be born first to the newlyweds. To do this, the helpers are given a pink and blue sock, in which they collect money. Everyone who wishes the newlyweds a son puts money in a blue sock, a daughter - a pink one.

All we have left to do is wish the lovers,
So that children are born every year.
And if twins suddenly arrive,
In general, we will not condemn you for this.

A wedding script for a small company does not always contain a full set of standard customs. At the request of the newlyweds, several rituals can still be performed:

theft of the bride's shoe;
throwing a wedding bouquet;
removing the veil.

Valeria Zhilyaeva

A wedding is a special event that is important to celebrate properly. After this sacrament is performed, the husband and wife are united before God, so a traditional wedding celebration would be inappropriate here.

Some couples, for whom the spiritual component of their marriage is especially important, get married immediately after the registry office. However, most often the husband and wife approach this step only after several years of marriage. In any case, this event is a great occasion to gather friends and family around the same table. We'll tell you how a wedding is celebrated after church.

How is the holiday after marriage registration different from a wedding?

The sacrament is always performed after the marriage is registered in the registry office. On the one hand, this is a great opportunity to repeat a fun celebration with friends. But on the other hand, I want to celebrate the wedding differently, because this event has special meaning.

The newlyweds have already had a wedding banquet, and usually you don’t want to repeat it

Even if the couple did not have a traditional wedding, it is better not to equate the wedding with marriage registration. On the day of the sacrament the soul requires something special. This means that the scenario for a holiday for older people and young people must take into account certain nuances.

Festive table for wedding

On your wedding day, you should pay tribute to traditions. For example, one of the brightest customs is when parents meet young bread and salt. Orthodox Christians at this moment bless the husband and wife for their future life together. This is done by the oldest member of the family - usually the groom's father.

Such a meeting will give the ceremony and holiday a special solemn note. Besides, parental blessing is of extreme importance - by doing this they show that they wish their children happiness.

When designing an event, actively use elements that correspond to holiday theme. For example, use a Christian hymn, wedding gospel or choral singing to spiritual music to greet the married couple. In the hall where the celebration is planned, a place of honor must be allocated for the icons that were used at the wedding of the couple.

It is not recommended to include piquant competitions, jokes and poems with ambiguous phrases, playful quizzes and similar things in the script of the gala event. Agree that after visiting church everything it will be unnecessary.

How to celebrate a wedding in a Christian way?

In holding such large-scale holidays, there are many worldly traditions that are established in families or in a particular area. However, despite this, Christians must adhere to the line of conduct that the Lord commanded.

National or family customs should not overshadow a Christian's faith

Traditions and customs of the area of residence may have pagan overtones. Of course, Christians need to refuse to participate in such things. There should be a feast after the wedding decent, temperate and decent. It is not appropriate for Christians to get drunk, hold wild and vulgar dances, engage in immodest conversations, sing shameless songs, or in any other way discredit a high position.

A wedding is a joyful event that should not be overshadowed by someone’s unworthy behavior. Fun should be in moderation.

Traditional feast

Before 1917 wedding was mandatory. Then magnificent celebrations and large-scale banquets were held, to which everyone came to congratulate the newlyweds and share this joy with them. After the revolution, the significance of the ritual was lost, and subsequently any church sacraments were banned.

Nowadays, weddings are celebrated in different ways, but most often they arrange a traditional feast

You shouldn’t throw an overly lavish party, but you also shouldn’t fall into other extremes: refuse to celebrate or celebrate only in a small circle. In this matter, a “golden” mean is good.

Some couples celebrate their wedding alone with each other. This isn't a bad idea. The husband and wife can go to a restaurant or go on a short trip.

But still more often a classic is arranged wedding evening. Parents, close relatives and friends are invited to attend. We must remember that the holiday is, first of all, spiritual character. This should also be taken into account during the evening. If you know that one of your relatives or friends is not restrained with alcohol, you should not invite him, or you will have to carefully monitor his condition and mood.

Guests must understand the importance of the event and sincerely share the joy of the newlyweds. So that they don't get bored, go to the event Toastmaster is invited. It is necessary to discuss the scenario of the event in advance, clarify in detail what entertainment, music, jokes, etc. will be.

Among the competitions and games there are many decent ones. For example:

tug of war between the groom's team and the bride's team;
drawing a portrait of a young person blindfolded;
throwing a bouquet and boutonniere (but not a garter);
competition for the best wishes for young people, etc.

You can celebrate your wedding at home, in the country (you can rent a cottage specifically), on a picnic or in a restaurant. Of course, you shouldn’t use a nightclub, beer bar or beach to celebrate your wedding. Still, an initially spiritual event must remain so until the end.

Wedding cake

The holiday menu deserves special attention and most importantly table decoration - cake. There are no strict restrictions or rules regarding what should be on the table.

Weddings are not held during Lent.

None of the invitees will fast on this day, so use any products when preparing dishes. However, the amount of alcohol should be moderate. Celebrating a wedding should not turn into a drinking binge, so drinking a little wine is allowed as much as possible.

Wedding cake photo

Instead of an alcoholic party, it is better to have a tea party with a delicious dessert. As a rule, this is a birthday cake, decorated in the spirit of celebration. Some people like the cake without mastic, others with it, but rarely does anyone refuse a sweet treat.

You need to take care of the cake in advance. Perhaps one of the guests will make such an original wedding gift with their own hands.

A wedding is a special sacrament that must also be celebrated in a special way. Remember that this is a combination of a man and a woman before God, which means that the wedding should be celebrated as decently as possible.

Replace a noisy party with a modest banquet with family and friends. Festive attributes are not prohibited. However, do not lose your vigilance and carefully approach the issue of organizing a celebration.
