Scenario wedding lived together for 60 years. prize stadium

The golden wedding is the lot of the elite. People who have managed to keep the family boat afloat for so many years should erect a monument during their lifetime. Therefore, this holiday must be celebrated in such a way that this event becomes unforgettable, first of all for the anniversaries themselves.

It does not require stunning special effects or royal luxury. The main condition is to surround the spouses with care, love and admiration. And do everything so that they cannot break out of this environment.

The scenario is adapted for holding a holiday at home, but it can also be held in a cafe or restaurant. It implies the obligatory connection of the creative imagination of those who spend the holiday.

A professional presenter is not required, but in any case it must be a charismatic, sociable and resourceful person.

Necessary props

    1. Throne chair(an ordinary roomy chair, you can “gild” the armrests or put a couple of gold ribbons crosswise on the back of the chair).
    2. gold digger(any device that emits a signal when a button is pressed. An ordinary children's phone painted in gold will do. But the more unusual the gold digger looks, the more spectacular).

  1. Two large crowns and several small ones, according to the number of children participating in the holiday. Can be real.
  2. Fan.
  3. golden sequins.
  4. 8-12 gilded candlesticks(depending on the size of the room) and the same number of golden candles. If the wedding will take place in a public place, it is worth buying electric candles that run on batteries.
  5. Computer with separate large screen, even better - a slide projector.
  6. dance costumes for couples of dancers:

    60s - dudes;

    70s - disco;

    80s - Latin American costumes;

    90s - rap.

  7. Golden heart made of thick paper, 80-90 cm diagonally. A central square is cut out of it and divided into 50 equal parts - these will be reward coupons. The remaining contour is divided vertically in half - halves for spouses.
  8. Brezhnev's eyebrows.
  9. Two golden stars of Heroes(you won’t find real ones, fake ones will do)

Decor

golden wedding, it is necessary to decorate the interior and furniture with gilded details as much as possible. Invitation cards on “gold” paper, crockery with a gold border, curtains with gold thread in the ornament.

You should not get carried away with garlands and tinsel, it is better that fragments of gold color are present in all the details of the interior. You can make gold business cards indicating the place of each guest at the festive table.

Concept

wedding celebration, while maintaining the traditional elements of the golden wedding, consistently unfolds under the sign of lived decades, starting from the 60s of the 20th century. We select a musical sequence and a video sequence corresponding to each era.

The celebration should not turn into an evening of memories - therefore, when editing a video or making slides, it is enough to use several photos of the heroes of the occasion in the relevant periods and photos of the most important events: weddings, births of children, arranging a new apartment, etc.

effects

Golden blizzard. Arranged during the performance of the waltz by the spouses.

The fan is installed at some elevation, turns on, and golden sparkles are thrown onto the air stream (this task can be entrusted to the children present).

Scenario

Meeting with guests

Invited guests are warned in advance that they will need to present “gold” at the entrance. It is not at all necessary to have gold rings and chains, a gold thread in a festive outfit, a tie with a gold stripe, any “golden” detail of the toilet will do.

At the entrance, a “gold control” is arranged, it is produced by the host and one of the male relatives and a masculine look.

Each incoming person is checked by a gold digger, and in a strange way, he does not react directly to gold items.

Accompanied by the host's remarks:

- the hands of a man are golden!; - golden head!; — look, here is a man with a heart of gold!; - golden words you say, come in, please!; - not a child, but pure gold!

The controller can allow himself some liberties, but respecting the limits of decency.

At the end of the meeting, the host (B) addresses the guests:

- I could not bear the load and our device broke down:

He had never seen so much gold at once!

The preparation of this day should be treated with all the attention and responsibility, because not all couples can carry and maintain their relationship through the years and domestic troubles.

Please your relatives or close friends with a holiday according to the original scenario!

Decor

The "Golden Wedding" is celebrated in the restaurant with relatives and friends. The hall is decorated in the style of the 60s. Ideally, if you manage to find a car of that time, in which the anniversaries will drive up to the restaurant, or simply put it at the entrance.

You can ask guests to dress in period-appropriate outfits. The design of the hall should include stamps, an old TV, calendars and postcards (now gift shops sell various retro-styled posters).

Usually in a restaurant it is customary to seat guests at a common table. It is advisable to serve the table with dishes of that time, and decorate the part where the heroes of the occasion sit.

If the guests are seated at separate tables, the place where the “newlyweds” table stands should be fully decorated for the 60s (hang wallpaper in the background, put a vase or pot of flowers - create the atmosphere of a room of that time). There should be seating cards with the names of the guests on the tables.

What do you need for competitions?

Scenario

Approximate time, minutes: 160+; Number of people: 25. Number of toasts from guests according to the scenario: 4 (coordinate names with the host!).

Guests meet the anniversaries on the street or inside at the door of the restaurant (if the room allows), lining up in a chain, and showering them with rose leaves.

At the entrance, the music of their wedding waltz or just your favorite composition sounds. The husband and wife are escorted to their places, rest for a couple of minutes, after which the leader takes the reins of government into his own hands.

Leading:

Let dozens fly, years fly -

How much has been experienced, passed together!

"Golden Wedding" is forever young,

After all, today you are again the bride and groom.

Sorrows and worries endure,

And, hand in hand, live another hundred years!

So that you, honorary spouses,

Platinum win wins.

After these words, the presenter presents medals on the 50th wedding anniversary.

Leading:

And now, dear guests and heroes of the occasion, let's fill the glasses with sparkling wine and, to this wonderful music, let's drink to the young! Bitterly!

Guests are given 10 minutes: they fill their glasses, drink, start eating.

Leading:

Like yesterday, still so fresh in my memory

Music pleasant motives.

First waltz for the fiftieth anniversary

Embodied in the dance overflow.

Dear anniversaries! We ask you to remember and show your very first dance that you danced 50 years ago.

Anniversaries are invited to the middle of the hall, the music turns on, they dance. Literally a minute later, the host asks the guests to join.

Host (as the music starts to fade):

And now I ask everyone to take their places, men - make sure that the glasses of the beautiful ladies are filled. The honorary right to pronounce the first toast is given to (name).

Guests are given 10 minutes for snacks.

Leading:

And now that everyone has had a bite to eat, I propose to hold a small competition. Now you will need to focus on this monitor and guess who is in each photo. Small prizes await those who guess correctly.

Contest "Guess by photo"

A disc with photographs of family members (or close friends) of anniversaries in childhood is included. Guests guess who is shown in the photo. Each person who guesses is given a small gift. Naturally, the one whose photo is shown does not guess it himself. The last should be a photo of the newlyweds together so that you can guess them right away in chorus.

Leading:

Well done! Especially quickly everyone coped with the last photo! For the next toast, the word is given by (name).

10 minutes for snacks.

Leading:

For the next competition, I would like to call the grandchildren (great-grandchildren, children) of the anniversaries and check how well they know their grandparents.

The host puts the children in a row, explains the rules of the competition.

Competition "Checking grandchildren"

Participants stand in a line, everyone is given a squeaker toy with LEDs inside (if there are no such toys, you can just raise your hand, but the toy is better visible and causes more fun for the public).

The moderator asks a question. Who knows the answer - must click on his toy. The one who does it first is responsible. If the answer is correct, the participant takes a step forward.

Children walk towards their grandparents, whoever comes closest to them is considered the winner.

Sample questions:

  • How old are grandparents together?
  • At what age did they meet?
  • Where did they go after the wedding?
  • Name all the brothers (sisters) of the grandfather (grandmother).
  • What did grandpa give grandma for a silver wedding?

You can think of questions like riddles.

Leading:

So, the main prize for the winner is he can hug and kiss grandma and grandpa! And, of course, everyone gets small gifts. Now I ask the participants not to go far - do you also want to congratulate the anniversaries on the holiday?

The word is given to the younger generation.

The facilitator acts according to the situation, depending on what the children say. Adult children can make a toast themselves, if not, Tamada adds a quatrain:

Congratulations on the upcoming anniversary,

Golden wedding is a date!

Let Love become a year wiser,

And she will not meet her sunset.

Strong family bonds, as before,

After all, you can’t hide her love behind the years,

And so that her companions are faith, hope

Forever remained in your home with you.

The guests are resting.

Leading:

The evening is already in full swing, which means that the newlyweds are ready to receive gifts and congratulations! However, presentations are accepted not just like that. Every donor must pass the test. Who dares to be the first?

The first person comes out, the toastmaster explains the rules.

Tests for donors

Music is turned on, a person (or a couple) must dance to it. The dance lasts 20-30 seconds.

Important: focus on the age of the donors! It’s hard for older people to dance, you can just ask to portray something (for example, bow or walk funny).

Guests present gifts in turn, put them on a separate table. Anniversaries at this moment can be planted separately so that everyone can see them and it is more convenient to congratulate them.

Leading:

A holiday is a storm of fun

My question is extremely simple:

Who will interrupt his feast

And will he toast his guests?

Toast from the guests; time to rest.

Leading:

Now I would like to give the floor to the newlyweds. You have such a great experience of family life. Tell your guests the story that you remember the most in all the years of your life together.

It is desirable that each of the anniversaries tell a story. If telling 2 is hard, you can get by with 1.

Leading:

There were so many wishes

So much has been said from the bottom of my heart

Children, grandchildren rejoice with you

And wish you a hundred more years to live!

Do not worry about sadness and anxiety,

And let health not be naughty at all,

Since your two roads have merged into one,

Eternal happiness and love to you!

Let's raise a glass to our anniversaries!

A short break for rest, if the place allows - dances are arranged.


Leading:

The next competition was not long in coming. One happy married couple is celebrating their anniversary today, but are there other contenders for the golden wedding? I invite three couples

Tamada explains the conditions.

Competition "Compliment"

Each pair gets 2 fruits (pear, apple, orange), in which matches are stuck. You can pull out 1 match by saying 1 compliment.

Men start, women finish. Couples pull out matches in turn, the time is marked.

Whoever completed the task faster, he won. Fruit is the prize. You can ask the newlyweds to bring something as a gift "for a long family life."

Leading:

In my opinion, the competition was a success! Now we know who will take the torch of the anniversaries!

I invite our wonderful bride and all women to the center of the hall. Now the ceremony of throwing the bouquet will take place! Unmarried girls, having caught a bouquet, can hope for a quick wedding, and married girls - for a long and happy life, like our newlyweds.

Leading:

On this, dear guests, our evening comes to an end. But that's just the fun part. Now you are waiting for delicious dishes and dancing!

Guests eat, dance, relax.

Scenario of a diamond wedding at home without a toastmaster.

A diamond wedding is celebrated by spouses after 60 years of family life. Very few couples live to see this anniversary, much less keep their love. Even fewer spouses decide to celebrate a diamond wedding.

However, it is necessary to celebrate such dates, because it is no coincidence that this wedding anniversary is called the most precious stone in the world.

The relationship between husband and wife, lasting more than half a century, having lived together both joyful and sad moments, is like a diamond, more valuable than anything in the world.

Organization of a diamond wedding

The relationship between a man and a woman who had lived together for sixty years became as strong as a diamond.

The diamond has rounded edges, they consist of many curved edges that intersect beautifully. On the edges there are pits, mounds, drawings.

If we compare family life with a diamond, then we can say that the family life of anniversaries was not direct and easy. Failures and quarrels left their mark, but love also polished the edges, making them shimmer.

Ancient esotericists believed that diamonds were formed from the original elements: sky, air, water, earth, energy; they have magical properties.

Spouses who have kept their union for more than half a century, thanks to their experience and wisdom, become excellent advisers in all life situations, teachers for their descendants, the spiritual force that unites the whole family.

Example Scenario

As a rule, the children and grandchildren of the anniversaries take upon themselves the organization of the diamond wedding. The diamond celebration is celebrated among several generations of relatives.

The main purpose of a diamond wedding is to pass on family traditions from anniversaries to the next generations, so cozy banquet halls with fireplaces are best suited for celebrating a diamond anniversary.

It is not easy to write a script for a diamond wedding - you need to take into account the following points:

  1. the advanced age of the anniversaries and their friends, their desire for peace and leisure
  2. children's entertainment for great-grandchildren and grandchildren.

The scenario of the “diamond wedding” holiday implies the presence of a special decoration of the hall and a special photo shoot.

Rhinestones will symbolize the stone after which the wedding is named, so you need to include them in the decor of the wedding table, as well as flower arrangements.

The main shades in the design of the wedding should be warm pastel colors - they are successfully combined with the brilliance of rhinestone "diamonds".

Family photos in interesting photo frames, photo collages, slides and videos of family events on the big screen must be provided by designers. Without such "decorations" of the hall, wedding anniversaries do not happen.

The right decision would be to focus on the musical taste of the couple. Bright modern compositions will come in handy at the end of the evening, during a festive disco.

At the diamond wedding of 60 years, all the closest relatives of the heroes of the day should be present: daughters and sons, their children and children of their children and, of course, the great-grandchildren of the heroes of the day.

As gifts for a diamond wedding, of course, diamonds are given. Gold rings with diamonds should adorn the hands of the diamond "groom and bride" after the 60th wedding anniversary.

The scenario of the 60th anniversary diamond wedding assumes that the anniversary will be marked in the spirit of the time by the “main” - “first” wedding 60 years ago.

There is a name for such a retrospective look - a retro wedding. on involves a special design, dress code for guests, cuisine, as well as entertainment. which were typical for the time when the venerable "groom" and "bride" got married.

It is this idea - a retro wedding - that will allow the diamond "groom and bride" to remember their main celebration and feel at ease. It is this scenario of a diamond wedding - reminiscent of their real wedding - that will be the best gift from children and grandchildren.

However, if the family is very rich in children and there will be many small guests at the diamond wedding, then the celebration scenario should include entertainment for them.

It is not at all scary to deviate from the given line of sight 60 years ago at this point: clowning, fire shows, fireworks, contests and other modern entertainments will very successfully fit into the scenario of a diamond wedding evening, if there is a reasonable amount of them.

To the depths of the soul, reports on family unions celebrating their sixtieth birthday are piercing.

If children and grandchildren take care in advance to notify the media about such an amazing family holiday, then another gift for diamond anniversaries will be a real mini-film about family life. which will successfully fit into the scenario of a diamond wedding.

A diamond wedding is a family anniversary celebrated by spouses after 60 years of marriage. Such a long marriage is rare, only a few couples manage to live to such an advanced age, preserving love. Anniversaries on this anniversary are already 80-90 years old, advanced age is not a reason to refuse to celebrate a diamond wedding.

It is customary to celebrate a diamond celebration in the family circle, in the presence of several generations of numerous relatives of the anniversaries, or in a close circle of relatives. Due to the advanced age of the heroes of the occasion, the organization of the wedding anniversary is taken over by the children of the heroes of the occasion, due to the advanced age of the heroes of the occasion.

Decorate the table with accessories with rhinestones, symbolizing the wedding gem - the diamond. To decorate the hall of the diamond celebration, choose calm, warm colors so that the excess of color paints does not tire the guests in advance.

Choose music for a diamond wedding according to the taste of the couple. Open the holiday with the melodies of the youth of the anniversaries, which will touch the spouses, will evoke pleasant memories of youth. During the feast, use background music that allows those present to communicate without interference, congratulate the anniversaries on their anniversary. For the more active part of the evening (competitions, dances), cheerful, moving dance songs are suitable.

We bring to your attention a ready-made script for the wedding anniversary of 60 years.

As a congratulation to the younger generation (grandchildren, great-grandchildren), children can play any small play, sing a song, dance a group dance, for example, the dance of little ducklings. If there is only one child at the party, then ask him to read a poem for grandparents. An example of congratulations from children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, see the video:

Diversify the wedding feast with contests that allow the active part of the guests to warm up and amuse the couple. The traditional end of the celebration of the diamond anniversary is the transfer of the family mandate to the older generation.

60 years of marriage what wedding anniversary - congratulations and script.

Traditionally, the sixtieth anniversary of marriage is called a diamond wedding. Just as a diamond is considered a very rare stone, not all couples get to the celebration of sixty years of living together. Those who managed to endure all the trials of life and live to see this anniversary are the real lucky ones. The rarity of such a holiday turned into its value.

The diamond is also the hardest of the stones. As well as the feelings between the anniversaries, which over the years have only grown stronger, turning into the strongest of all unions.

Celebration traditions

A diamond wedding is a good occasion to arrange a big family holiday. As a rule, all children and grandchildren, relatives and closest friends are invited to the celebration. Very often, such a number of people simply cannot fit in one apartment. Therefore, in most cases, on the occasion of the holiday, they book a hall in a restaurant so that guests can dance and just relax. Sixty years of living together are worthy of special respect, and therefore such a holiday turns into a celebration of love and understanding, which strengthen any relationship.

Since the number of guests present at the celebration is always quite large, the process of organizing a feast requires special seriousness and responsibility. Therefore, as practice shows, for such a holiday a special scenario is drawn up, according to which a feast is held.

Such a script can be written for a specific audience or borrowed from professionals who organize such holidays on a daily basis. Everyone who takes care of the preparations is trying to make the holiday as appropriate as possible for the venerable age of the perpetrators of the solemn event.

What to gift?

A diamond wedding is a serious date in the life of a married couple who have been able to endure many trials. Therefore, they deserve special gifts and congratulations on their diamond wedding.

At the celebration of sixty years of marriage, there must be many flowers. Therefore, for the main gift, it is better to buy a bouquet or a flower in a pot, which will be a wonderful reminder of the holiday. If the financial side of the issue allows you, you can present symbolic diamond rings, which over time can turn into a real family heirloom. Household appliances and kitchen appliances that can make life easier for anniversaries are also welcome.

Congratulations

A necessary addition to each gift is a wish. When choosing congratulations on a diamond wedding, you must first take into account the age of the couple. But it can be a wish both in verse and in prose. In most cases, jocular wishes are rather inappropriate, as not everyone can understand subtle humor. A diamond wedding is a serious date for the life of two people, which requires those present to be especially careful in their choice of congratulations and gifts.

Congratulations on a diamond wedding, like the script, should not be too huge. Sometimes it is quite difficult for the heroes of the holiday to concentrate on the wish and carefully listen to it to the end. Brevity and conciseness, restraint and words filled with love - this is what should dominate in the chosen congratulation.

The scenario of a diamond wedding, as a rule, regulates the time of performances at the festive table.

Where to find ideas?

Diamond wedding (60 years).

Diamond wedding (60 years)

A diamond wedding is a whole 60 years of marriage. This anniversary is also called the diamond wedding. A diamond is the most valuable and expensive of all stones. Just like a married life that has lasted 60 years, it is very rare and valuable. Also, a diamond is a symbol of happiness and strength, which corresponds to a sixty-year married life that has been lived in happiness and is already strong and durable in itself, which has been proven by time, namely most of the whole century. Another symbol of the wedding anniversary is the diamond, which also symbolizes the strength of the marriage.

If the anniversary of the sixtieth anniversary took place, then it must be attended by children, children of children and even great-grandchildren. Guests should give the spouses beautiful diamond rings. With such gifts, they show that they do not feel sorry for their parents, that they love them madly and are infinitely grateful to them.

People who have dedicated 60 years of their lives to each other deserve real respect, and their 60-year marriage is part of the history of their generation.

Diamond wedding - the right scenario

visibility 751 views

Having lived together for 60 years, the couple celebrate the anniversary, which is called the Diamond Wedding. It is called so for a reason.

For so many years, the relationship between husband and wife has gained strength and preciousness, hardened and began to sparkle like a faceted diamond. A diamond is the most expensive gemstone, which is distinguished by its incredible beauty and chic brilliance.

This anniversary should be celebrated brightly and in an original way. Therefore, it is important to think through his scenario in detail.

What should be taken into account?

Since the newlyweds are already aged, the organization of such a significant event is undertaken by their close relatives. A diamond wedding is celebrated on a grand scale, in a large circle of relatives and friends. You can celebrate at home, or you can celebrate in a cafe or restaurant. It all depends on the preferences of the spouses and the financial side of the holiday.

First you need to decorate the room with various ribbons, figurines, balls, fresh flowers, photographs and more. Any scenario begins with the decoration of the house, which creates comfort and sets the mood for celebrating the wedding.

Further, the menu is compiled taking into account the preferences of the guests, and, most importantly, the anniversaries. It is advisable not to overdo it with alcohol, the wedding should not turn into a drinking bout. The table must be decorated in accordance with the event - it should shimmer with pleasant colors, like a diamond.

The musical accompaniment is equally important. During the meal, the spouses' favorite hits should sound quietly, and during competitions, you can turn on cheerful music louder. At the celebration, several slow songs are to be performed, which the newlyweds associate with their love and the Green Wedding.

Tradition

There is a tradition that a husband and wife must adhere to in order to bring happiness to the next generation. You need to write parting words on a piece of paper, give advice regarding family life, and put the sheet in a secluded place. This "letter to descendants" must lie until the next Diamond Wedding.

Such an unusual tradition has been practiced in our country for many years - you should not interrupt it. Be sure to add it to the event script.

Contests

Competitions are an important part of any event. They help turn the feast into an amazing holiday, add mobility and vivid memories to the scenario. There are a lot of competitions - you can choose any number to your taste and the wishes of the spouses. We offer several options that are suitable for the 60th wedding anniversary.

  • Competition "Artist". Several couples take part in the game. They should draw portraits of each other, focusing on the main character traits. When the portraits are ready, the couples exchange them and must understand what character traits the spouse wanted to talk about. The audience determines the winners.
  • The "Association" competition can be held even at the table, all guests can take part in it. The toastmaster names any word, and the participants must name their associations with this word. Everyone who cannot add their association in 3 seconds is eliminated. The one who remains in the ranks to the end wins.
  • Diamond Competition. This game is for couples. Husband and wife for the allotted time (usually 10 minutes) must write on a piece of paper compliments to each other using the word "diamond". After that, compliments are read aloud. The one with the longest list wins.

Finally

You can include a video greeting in the celebration script, consisting of beautiful music and photos from the family album that are important for the spouses.

Traditionally, the sixtieth anniversary of marriage is called a diamond wedding. Just as a diamond is considered a very rare stone, not all couples get to the celebration of sixty years of living together. Those who managed to endure all the trials of life and live to see this anniversary are the real lucky ones. The rarity of such a holiday turned into its value.

The diamond is also the hardest of the stones. As well as the feelings between the anniversaries, which over the years have only grown stronger, turning into the strongest of all unions.

Celebration traditions

A diamond wedding is a good occasion to arrange a big family holiday. As a rule, all children and grandchildren, relatives and closest friends are invited to the celebration. Very often, such a number of people simply cannot fit in one apartment. Therefore, in most cases, on the occasion of the holiday, they book a hall in a restaurant so that guests can dance and just relax. Sixty years of living together are worthy of special respect, and therefore such a holiday turns into a celebration of love and understanding, which strengthen any relationship.

Since the number of guests present at the celebration is always quite large, the process of organizing a feast requires special seriousness and responsibility. Therefore, as practice shows, for such a holiday a special scenario is drawn up, according to which a feast is held.

Such a script can be written for a specific audience or borrowed from professionals who organize such holidays on a daily basis. Everyone who takes care of the preparations is trying to make the holiday as appropriate as possible for the venerable age of the perpetrators of the solemn event.

What to gift?

A diamond wedding is a serious date in the life of a married couple who have been able to endure many trials. Therefore, they deserve special gifts and congratulations on their diamond wedding.

At the celebration of sixty years of marriage, there must be many flowers. Therefore, for the main gift, it is better to buy a bouquet or a flower in a pot, which will be a wonderful reminder of the holiday. If the financial side of the issue allows you, you can present symbolic diamond rings, which over time can turn into a real family heirloom. Household appliances and kitchen appliances that can make life easier for anniversaries are also welcome.

Congratulations

A necessary addition to each gift is a wish. When choosing congratulations on a diamond wedding, you must first take into account the age of the couple. But it can be a wish both in verse and in prose. In most cases, jocular wishes are rather inappropriate, as not everyone can understand subtle humor. A diamond wedding is a serious date for the life of two people, which requires those present to be especially careful in their choice of congratulations and gifts.

Congratulations on a diamond wedding, like the script, should not be too huge. Sometimes it is quite difficult for the heroes of the holiday to concentrate on the wish and carefully listen to it to the end. Brevity and conciseness, restraint and words filled with love - this is what should dominate in the chosen congratulation.

The scenario of a diamond wedding, as a rule, regulates the time of performances at the festive table.
