One beautiful day two young people decided to start a family. The wedding was noisy, the guests shouted “Bitter!”, And weekdays began. But the holidays for the newlyweds are not over on this, and one of them comes exactly in 1 year. Almost no one remembers the wedding, it's time to celebrate the first anniversary.

They call it a "chintz wedding". The scenario for it can be anything. We will describe one of them in detail in this article.

Why is the anniversary called calico?

Of course, the first year for a young couple is very difficult. Spouses rub their characters and get used to home life. Why did the first wedding anniversary get such a name? Chintz fabric is not durable. So a marriage that is only one year old cannot yet be called strong. If you believe another statement, then this name was given due to the fact that young spouses spend most of their time in their bed during the first year. As a result, no matter what material their bedding is made of, it will still become as fragile as chintz.

Scenario for a print wedding

Most often, newlyweds celebrate their 1st wedding year together with family and friends, invite a large number of friends. If possible, we advise you to celebrate this holiday in the fresh air. A cottage or a country house is perfect for this.

Consider one scenario for a print wedding. Funny contests and funny jokes will add a festive mood to everyone. The event takes place in seven stages:

• greeting guests;
• arranging a "debriefing";
• traditionally "tie knots";
• contests;
• dance part;
• selling cake;
• seeing off the guests.

What do you need?

First of all, you need to create an atmosphere. For this, the venue of the event is decorated with chintz. It is necessary to decorate cutlery with cloth, hang chintz bows and ribbons everywhere, and lay tables. Calculate the size and number of tables in advance so that all guests can freely accommodate them. Choose the format of the festive table yourself. It can be a feast, or it can be a buffet. The main condition is that a festive cake must be prepared.

Prepare a place to be a dance floor for you and your guests. It is worth checking the equipment in advance and choosing musical compositions. One of them is the melody to which the newlyweds went to the first dance. The rest - at your discretion, but you need to pick up a few "folk songs". This is one of the most important holidays in the life of a young family, the first anniversary is a cotton wedding. Scenario, competitions, gifts for participation - everything should bethought out to the smallest detail. Think it over, make a list of the things you will need for the competitions, and get them in advance.

Stage 1: welcome guests

The young couple arrives first at the venue. Husband and wife should welcome guests together. Each guest is thanked by the spouses for accepting their invitation and escorted to the table. You can meet guests with ordinary words, or you can come up with an unusual greeting.

So, all the guests have gathered and even had a little snack. You can proceed to the main action of the holiday.

Stage 2: Debriefing

Let all the guests talk about their impressions that they had after the wedding. If the guest is prepared, then he can present his story even in poetic form. The main theme, of course, should remain a print wedding. Poems can be serious, or they can be humorous. Keep the conversation going for as long as possible. Ask your guests what moments they think are their highlights.

After discussion, the young couple begins to "account" for the year they spent together. Each of them talks about their impressions, how they spent the first week of their life together, how they disposed of wedding gifts, how the honeymoon went, etc. You can even talk about the first family disputes and how the spouses got out of difficult situations. However, it is worth being frank only if only relatives and friends gathered at the table, from whom you can not hide anything.

Stage 3:tying knots

This is a century-old tradition. During the knot-tying ceremony, guests should not interfere with it or talk.

Spouses give each other chintz handkerchiefs. During the holiday, the husband and wife tie one knot each on a donated scarf. This symbolizes the desire of a young couple to keep their love for many years. They then make promises and oaths in which they talk about their feelings.

After that, the spouses turn to face each other, hold hands and at the same time say: “As the knots tied by us are strong, so are our words. Like the wind, a reveler in a field will wake up a cornfield, so joy and happiness will come with us forever.”

This has always been a traditional chintz wedding, in prose both vows of the young, and promises, and the main words of the ceremony were pronounced.

After the ceremony is completed, the guests applaud the young and wish them never to quarrel.

It should be noted that, according to tradition, handkerchiefs then need to be hidden in a secluded place and never removed from there.

Stage 4: Contests

The official ceremonial stages of the holiday are behind us. After that, you can start having fun and playing.

Since this is a chintz wedding, the script should contain many contests, the main characters of which will be the newlyweds.

For example, you can arrange a check for spouses. In a playful way, find out how well they learned the habitseach other. Of course, the parents of the husband and wife should judge this competition.

Traditional competition is fortune telling. Guests can tell fortunes in a comic or serious way about the future of a married couple.

Competitions are often held that allow you to answer the question: who is the boss in the house?

Preference should be given to competitions in which you need to participate in pairs. Then the guests will have fun, and the young spouses will be able to take part in them.

Stage 5: dance part

The first round of dances is opened by young people. It is desirable that the spouses perform the dance that they danced at their wedding. After the first dance, the newlyweds dance with their parents and witnesses.

After that, the guests can dance with whoever they want. During the holidays, folk compositions are sure to sound. It can be "7.40", and "Gopak", and "Kalinka" and much more. Without these dances, what kind of print wedding is this? The scenario of the traditional holiday will be violated.

Stage 6: sell the cake

Festive cake, like on the wedding day, is sold to guests in pieces. Usually this honorable task is performed by a friend of the husband or a witness. He goes around all the invitees, offering them to buy a piece of the pie. It can also be done in verse form. But do not repeat the same words that were spoken a year ago. This is a different holiday, this is a cotton wedding, the verses must be new. For example:

Let's help a young family a little financially!

What can we do? A crisis! And this is true!

Dear guests, bemore generously!

It's all just begun and they need it now!

We wish the young people not to swear!And so that the crisis doesn't get stuck, buy pies!

You can come up with options for addressing guests yourself.

Stage 7: seeing off the guests

Spouses, standing on the threshold, see off the guests together. As soon as the young couple leaves, the guests give them their gifts.

After the guests have left, the wife and husband should stay overnight in the house where they celebrated the holiday.

Gifts for a print wedding

Traditionally for the first anniversary everything is made of cloth. At the same time, preference is given, of course, to chintz products. It can be a set of towels, curtains, tablecloths, linens and so on. Such a gift is not only symbolic, but also very relevant. Each of these things will come in handy for a young couple. These are essential household items. Moreover, they are necessary for those who are just starting to equip their family nest. Our ancestors also gave young people only the things they needed in the household on their first wedding anniversary.

However, both the wife and the husband should take into account that the gift should not just be traditional, it should express the depth of their feelings, show how much they love their soul mate. For example, a chintz heart can become a symbol of love.

Most popular gifts from friends and family

Gift from husband to wife

There is a tradition to give your wife a new dress. The husband must remember that "the dress of the second day has already worn out." That's what the old saying says. Also, according to the wedding custom, the spouses give each other handkerchiefs made of chintz, thereby cementing their union.

You can give your beloved a set of underwear, a warm fluffy plaid, cute pajamas or a cozy dressing gown. In addition, for example, a subscription to a fitness club will be a great present. However, it must be given wisely, otherwise it will not take long to offend a loved one, as if hinting that the wife’s figure is no longer perfect. It is also worth considering with whom and where the print wedding will be celebrated. The scenario for two is a romantic dinner in a restaurant, which the spouse will not know about in advance. This will give her a lot of pleasant experiences.

Gift from wife to husband

Just like women, men love unusual underwear. You can choose, for example, panties with a cool pattern. If you are a modest girl, and your husband is not inclined to experiment, then you can independently embroider a scarf or a picture for your beloved, knit an original sweater. You can take his hobby as the basis of the drawing. If a spouse, for example, is fond of fishing, then embroidery can be in the form of a fisherman with a fishing rod or just a funny fish. Husband-computer will be happy with any update foryour toy. But if you want the gift to be both original and useful, we advise you to give him a special pillow, which is placed on the seat of the chair. And of course, just like a woman, a man will like a bathrobe or a plaid.
