Toastmaster, or wedding planner, is indispensable at any wedding celebration. It is this person who directs the entire process of the feast, makes sure that the guests do not get bored and do not get drunk ahead of time. As a rule, the toastmaster should be an expert on wedding ceremonies and customs in order to demonstrate some of them on the example of the bride and groom. It depends on the toastmaster how this wedding will be remembered by all participants. Therefore, many couples prefer to invite professionals to the wedding. However, anyone who has artistic inclinations and a desire to lead can hold the feast.
Instructions
Step 1
Before coming up with a wedding scenario, the toastmaster needs to talk to the bride and groom or their parents, if they are organizing the holiday. It is important to understand what the heroes of the occasion expect from the feast. Perhaps they want a wedding in the traditional old Russian style, with observance of all the rituals. Or, on the contrary, they are waiting for modern contests such as male striptease. Also, the toastmaster will not hurt to find out how many guests and what age are expected at the celebration. This will help to adjust the program to the needs of the main part of the invitees.
Step 2
It is better to write the main points of a traditional wedding in the script right away. There are several of them. Firstly, before entering the hall or apartment where the feast will take place, young people should taste bread and salt on the doorstep. The loaf with a salt shaker is held by the groom's mother on a tray with a towel, and the toastmaster invites the bride and groom to break off pieces of bread. Whoever has the largest piece will be the main one in the family. Then the pieces need to be salted and fed to each other. So for the last time the newlyweds spite each other, now there will be only peace in their life.
Step 3
When the guests sit down at the table, the toastmaster should give the first word to congratulate the parents of the bride and groom. In advance, you need to prepare two new long candles and one small tablet candle, preferably in a shape in the form of a heart. The newly made mother-in-law and mother-in-law must light their long candles (the toastmaster helps to light them) and at the same time bring the fire to a small candle held by the young. This is a symbol of the union of two families into one, a very touching moment. After him the toastmaster announces the first toast: to a new family, and when everyone is drinking, shouts "Bitter". In this case, it is better to search in advance or compose small funny quatrains in which the word "Bitter" will be. For example: Finally, all guests are assembled, There is little space at the tables, But the piece does not go down the throat, Because it became BITTER!
Step 4
When the guests go to dance, the toastmaster, with the help of witnesses, can organize the kidnapping of the bride. She will be taken away from the dance floor by a bridesmaid. When the song ends and the disappearance becomes obvious, the toastmaster shouts: "Help, the bride was stolen!" Further, a "mafia" appears in the hall (guests wearing dark glasses play the role of mafiamen) and put forward their own conditions. The groom must either buy off or go through trials to get his beloved back. The tests are conducted by the toastmaster: he asks questions about the bride's habits, for example, her favorite books, films, and so on. The parents of the bride check the correctness of the answers.
Step 5
During the wedding, the toastmaster can alternate congratulations from the guests (first there are relatives, then friends, then colleagues) with games and contests. The most popular entertainments at weddings are dress-up scenes. You need to find bright, cheerful costumes in advance and come up with a common theme. For example, pop stars came to congratulate the young. Some of the guests can be dressed up as Alla Pugacheva (red wig, glasses, hat), someone by Verka Serduchka, someone by Boris Moiseev. In turn, they will appear in the center of the hall to the soundtrack and "sing". And the toastmaster represents each guest.
Step 6
It is better to start contests with a table. They help guests to relax and get to know each other. The toastmaster offers this option: the right and left halves of the table, accompanied by music, begin to transmit kisses on the cheek from neighbor to neighbor. Whose side passed it faster - that one drinks, the rest skip the toast. Of the contests that are held on the dance floor, the "Stash" contest is very popular. Two married couples are called, wives turn away, and husbands hide five hundred-ruble bills in their clothes and on their bodies. Then, to the music, women must find all the stash, who is faster. The toastmaster, of course, comments on all the actions with jokes and applause, turns on guests and does not forget about a new toast after each game.
