A wedding anniversary is a kind of anniversary that needs to be organized so that no one is bored and everyone is satisfied. Traditionally, a scenario is thought out, in which there may be a solemn part, but it must be followed by competitions for the wedding anniversary. Let's figure out which ones.

Comic, funny, funny and funny contests play a special role in the celebration, since the wedding anniversary is still an entertaining event, which should be dominated by such feelings as: laughter, joy, positive. Of course, it will not do without songs and dances. There are several types of competitions. A little about each.

dress-up contests

This view is the most fun, as it reveals the creative potential of the participants and with its help the original images are recreated. After all, in a different situation, the bride will never be able to see her husband wearing make-up and wearing heels, as well as in a skirt, but here it is real.

Option 1. Sweet bride

An interesting variant of this type of competition is when the heroes of the occasion act as judges, and five men become participants. The latter receive a veil as an attribute and, to the song, they need to portray a tender, innocent, and also a bride in love. Musical compositions should be chosen about passionate love, lyrical. The winning options are: “I will rise to him in the sky”, “Call me with you” and others. The winner will be the one whose game the jury considers more truthful. Such a competition, held on the anniversary of the wedding, will give a lot of positive emotions.

Option 2. Find the right item

The contestants are several men who wear skirts, as well as hats and high heels. They are given ladies' handbags with their usual contents.

The goal of the participants is to search in 3-3 minutes in a purse for items such as:

• brasmatic and leggings;
• tips and ironing;
• clips and clutch;
• and others. What is enough fantasy.

A similar task can be given to ladies by dressing them in trouser suits, hats and shoes. Instead of a handbag, they will have backpacks. They need to find:

• wobbled;
• decoy and manometer;
• spool and game bag;
• karemat and bandolier;
• and other items.

The first task will delight women, and the second men.

Option 3. Beautiful walk

Competitors must be large men. They wear high heels and a veil. The leader's task is to draw three lines. Men, on the other hand, need to walk through them beautifully and gracefully, demonstrating their gait. As soon as the participant leaves the line, he immediately leaves the competition. It is better to leave it for the second table on the wedding anniversary, since during this period those present are already relaxed and will show interest in participating in it.

Contests are universal

There are many competitive events for a wedding anniversary that may be suitable for other celebrations.

Option 1. Poems by subject

Three couples become participants in the competition. Each receives a bag with various items. The goal is to compose congratulations in verse for the heroes of the occasion using these words in them.

Option 2. History of dating young people in subjects

This, in fact, is an echo of the previous competition, only in this case, witnesses become participants. They are not chosen by chance, as they are the best known about the life of the newlyweds and will be able to tell the story of their acquaintance. Participants in the competition receive a variety of interesting items that should be involved in the story.

Option 3. Song of your own composition

The purpose of this competition is to write a beautiful rhyme based on the names of these leading subjects and perform it in the form of a song. Members can be family and friends. As planned by the leader, the cat or hamster should run away, thus, humor appears in the song.

Vocal and dance competitions

Here the main role is played by music.

Option 1. Song according to the words

Several pairs are selected, each of them is given a set of words. They must compose a cheerful and funny song about the heroes of the occasion. Whose performance will be more fun and interesting, that couple will win. All those present act as a jury.

Option 2. Traditional newspaper dance competition

This competition is quite cool and is often included in the script developed for the wedding anniversary. There are three couples. Each is given a newspaper. Couples should dance on it, when the music ends, the newspaper folds first in half, then in four, and so on. A couple that steps outside the newspaper is eliminated. Those who endure the longest and do not go beyond the newspaper win. The secret of the competition is that the guy can take the girl in his arms, but this still needs to be guessed. Another trick is that you can stand up to the representative of the stronger sex with a miniature lady on one leg and dance.

Option 3. Hug dancing

5 ladies and 6 guys participate in this competition. Girls stand in a single circle and hold hands. While the music is playing, they move clockwise. Representatives of the stronger sex stand in a larger circle behind the ladies and move in the opposite direction. As soon as the music stops, you need to quickly hug the guy standing behind. One of the guys will be left without a couple, he drops out of the competition and takes any girl with him. At the end of the competition, the winner is determined.

Contests with questions

There are an extraordinary number of them.

Option 1. Game 20 years later

Its participants should be the parents of the young. The host asks one of them to leave the hall for a while. The remaining husband or wife is asked several questions. The most common of these are:

• What time and where did you meet?
• How did the husband confess his love?
• How many guests were at the wedding?
• Did it rain or snow on your wedding day?

It is better not to do more than 5 questions.

After one of the spouses has answered, you should call the second and ask him the same questions. If the answers do not match, then you can simply offer a toast to a joyful event, thanks to which today their children are already celebrating their wedding anniversary. If all the answers are the same, then in such a situation, a toast may be for today's heroes of the occasion not to forget their wedding event twenty years later, like their parents.

Option number 2. Truth or lie

Since the celebration is a wedding anniversary, the topics of questions will also relate to the traditions of this event.

The whole hall participates, and the prize in this competition is a toast to the heroes of the occasion, or small souvenirs can be prepared.

Tradition	Answer
In Egypt, the groom can see his betrothed only after the wedding.	Is it true
In Denmark, during the matchmaking, the groom is obliged to give a gift to each of the family members of his beloved, two wooden shoes.	Lie
In Hungary, the groom is required to give the bride's parents a ham.	Lie
In Finland, the bride-to-be must spend seven days before the wedding, doing small chores around the house.	Is it true
In Bangladesh, the bride must survive in the forest for five days.	Lie
In Norway, young people milk a cow in a barn after a wedding.	Is it true
In Germany, a drunken rooster, which is tied to a broom, must be present in the dowry of every bride.	Is it true
In England, in some villages, before the wedding ceremony, church gates are decorated with beer mugs, as well as silver spoons.	Is it true

The competition ends when the audience loses interest. It should end with a question: In Russia, in honor of the heroes of the occasion, it is customary to pronounce toasts. Of course it's true, so let's raise our glasses.

Option 3. A game called "Welcome"

Several leaders are selected. Papers or cards with the names of various places are fixed on their backs. For example, the following:

• pre-trial detention center or strip bar;
• nudist beach or baths;
• a gynecologist's office or the State Duma;
• and others.

important than more interesting place will be invented, the funnier the contest will turn out.

The person who leads should not see the personal sheet, but the rest of the participants should read the title.

Drivers virtually go to the place they got, and the rest of the contestants begin to ask them questions. The former must, with all revelation and creativity, give answers to them.

Questions should be asked in a variety of ways, as the effect of the competition depends on this.

For example, you can use the following:

1. How often do you visit this place?
2. Who are you visiting with?
3. What do you usually take with you to this place?
4. What style of clothes do you wear?
5. Are you in this place taking photos?
6. Are you paid to visit this place?
7. Does your husband/wife know?
8. Are you staying there for a long time?

After enough answers have been received, you should remove the sheet from the back of the driver and show where he has virtually been.

Contests for children on the wedding anniversary

A wedding anniversary without children rarely passes, and they love contests much more than adults. There should be no losers among the children, and prizes go to each participant. This must be taken into account.

Option 1. Describe the bride by letter

Each child is given a certain one and he must come up with what word that begins with her can describe the bride. For example, “K” is beautiful, “U” is smart, and so on.

Option 2. Take a chair

You can put several chairs, the number of which should be one less than the guys. To fast music, kids will be happy to run around them, dance. As soon as the music ends, the kids should take the chairs. One is not enough, and he drops out of the competition, but he must receive the prize.

Option 3. Show the animal from the cartoon

This is a fun competition. The music sounds from the children's favorite cartoons with the names of animals, and each child, when it is pronounced, must portray it. The host helps the kids.

Subtleties in organizing competitions

The main goal in organizing competitions is to attract a lot of people so that it does not happen that some participate in each and others in none, of course, if they are not ardent opponents.

Children must all take part in at least one competition, otherwise they will think about this holiday that only an adult can win the prize.

Pairs of young men and ladies for the competition must be selected with special care and caution so as not to offend anyone. If a person does not want to take part, and refuses, you should not force him by any means.

Selection of contests

Fun and funny contests will be most appropriate when those present have eaten, as well as drunk and are bored. IN given time You need to take the initiative into your own hands. Also, a situation often arises when participants in one competition are rushing into battle and into the next, they should not be banned, but it should be correctly made clear that there are still many guests and probably there are those who want to show themselves.

Everything is important in moderation, you should not oversaturate the script with competitions, since the wedding anniversary is not a competitive competition, but a solemn event.

After five years of marriage, the first serious anniversary comes to the house of young spouses -.
