Ransom, fortune telling about a boy and a girl, contests in diapers, stealing a bride and a fight - what was previously considered integral attributes of a wedding, is slowly becoming a thing of the past and is becoming completely out of fashion.
1. Toastmaster with an accordion
An uncle (or auntie), who does not care about his appearance, makes mistakes in words, but knows how to play the button accordion, sing very mediocrely and shout "bitterly" loudly. Often such a "toastmaster" can miss a glass or two, which is generally unacceptable in work.
2. Decoration with balloons
Hearts or swans from balloons above the table of the young are slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past. Now there are many other options for decorating the hall: fabrics, flowers, ribbons.
3. Boring contests
You can hardly meet a person who has never seen a competition with putting on diapers, "guess the melody", jumping in bags and the like, which are repeated at every wedding. Discuss with the host which contests you want and which you don’t want to see at your event.
4. Collecting money from guests
The presenter begging "for a boy or a girl" looks out of date and stupid for a long time. And in this way you create unnecessary inconveniences for guests who have to shove bills into their pockets. Many people now pay by card everywhere and are not used to taking cash with them.
5. Make guests drink and make toast
The most absurd thing is to make non-drinking guests drink “to the health of the young”. The same applies to forced toasts and participation in contests. There are people who don't like to speak in public. All guests at the party should feel comfortable, a good host knows this by default.
6. There is a lot of food on the table
Back in Soviet times, the amount of food on the tables demonstrated your "generosity." Now it only shows disrespect for other people's work and for their own money. Why order knowingly more than guests can eat and throw the rest in the wastebasket?
7. Stealing the bride
Including this in your wedding scenario is only worthwhile if you come up with something truly original. And not just the “unexpected” disappearance of the bride, who hid in the back room of the restaurant, and the task to sing and dance for the groom.
8. Tasteless photos and overuse of Photoshop
"Bride on the palm", "groom under the thumb", compositions a la "tourists against the background of the monument" and other masterpieces have long remained in history. Come up with something newer. Now the trend is direct, "live" photography and original productions.
9. Release pigeons
As a rule, all the girls are touched at the sight of cats, hamsters and are so kind that flies will not offend, but at the same time they torment white pigeons completely mercilessly. Birds weren't born to decorate your wedding.
10. Fight
It used to be thought that without a fight, the wedding would not go well. Perhaps the waiters in the restaurant will have fun looking at the fighting guests, but the damage from broken dishes and broken interior items will most likely have to be paid for by the heroes of the occasion.
