On the main holiday of the newlyweds, fun should be not only for them, but also for the guests. This will be the main guarantee of a good organization of the celebration. But it’s hard to please everyone at the same time: after all, for some, a chic wedding is successful music, contests and dances, for others it’s a rich feast, and for others it’s a non-standard organization, an opportunity to have fun and just take a walk.

Not everyone knows, but making sure that everyone leaves the wedding happy is easy enough. To do this, it is necessary to organize the opportunity to receive gifts for each of the guests.

So that such gifts do not look like bribing individuals, organizing a wedding lottery would be an excellent option. Do not think that not all young people can afford it: no one says to include a car, an LCD TV, a navigator or a toaster in the list of gifts. Do you think that it is impossible to please guests without expensive presents? Believe me, everything is real. It’s just that the selection of gifts must be taken with all the seriousness that you are capable of, because this is still a joke wedding lottery.

So, the main prize could be a baby pacifier, a carrot or sterile gloves. The rest of the gifts are not much different from the jackpot -for these purposes, clothespins, a chocolate bar, a regular plastic bag, a candle, counting sticks, a package of instant coffee or a tea bag, a package of pepper or bay leaf will do. This list is unlimited: you can buy whatever you like in the supermarket or on the market.

As practice shows, drunken guests are delighted with family underpants in size 56, toilet paper and lipstick, presented to the most stately man at the holiday, are no worse.

Of course, if you want the organization of the lottery for the wedding to go without flaws, and the gifts were given to funny quatrains in the theme, then it’s better to entrust this to the toastmaster.

This person will be able to choose the right time for such entertainment. Guests should already be cheerful enough, but not yet too drunk, to parse the words of the poems and evaluate the seriousness of the gifts.

Wedding lotteries are organized quite easily: the presenter announces a drawing of valuable prizes from the newlyweds. Particular emphasis is placed on their value, this provokes the interest of guests. Then the toastmaster distributes or sells numbers to each of the guests. To avoid rigging the results and the appearance of dissatisfied, it is better if all participants pull out lottery coupons for the wedding from some kind of container: a hat, an opaque box, or even a rubber boot will do. Such a distribution can be carried out both at the very beginning of the holiday, and immediately before the draw.

If the weddingsmall, and there are no more than 50 people on it, then gifts can be presented to everyone. But at large celebrations, where you can count several hundred invited, it is better to distribute coupons only to the winners of competitions or as a consolation prize for 2nd place. Such a wedding lottery for guests is held in the middle of the celebration, it will not tire anyone, but will only be able to amuse the guests. It is better to draw gifts after serving a hot dish, so it will not bother anyone. Guests can eat, or they can follow what is happening - everything is done gently and unobtrusively.
