The original scenario of the ransom. Bride ransom - short options

What are the best bride price scenarios you can offer to newlyweds so that their wedding turns into a beautiful exciting adventure from the very beginning? The traditional ransom of the bride is the opening of the wedding day. Its task is to create an appropriate mood for the newlyweds and their guests.

What to consider when writing a buyout scenario

The main participants in the ransom, of course, are the bride and groom, and their first assistants and organizers are the witness and the witness, as well as their best friends. Bridesmaids are usually involved in organizing and writing the script, and it is they who are responsible for the successful conduct of the ransom.


The main duty of the groom and his friends is to stock up on various sweets, champagne and, of course, cash in sufficient quantities; not a single bride’s ransom passes without these invariable attributes.

There are many scenarios for the ransom of the bride, but only the newlyweds themselves can decide which one is the best. The proposed script options are intended as an aid in preparing for the wedding.

The traditional script for the ransom of the bride

The duration of this scenario is approximately 30 minutes, during which time the participants will not have time to get tired, the ransom will be held in a relaxed atmosphere. Leading competitions are the witness and bridesmaids. To prepare, they will need to prepare the following simple props:

  • sheets of paper with prepared questions;
  • towel;
  • Balloons;
  • tapes;
  • towel.

The bridesmaids meet the groom at the entrance to the entrance, and do not let him through until he answers the prepared questions. Questions can be arranged in the form of flower petals or hearts. For each correct answer, the groom can climb one step of the flight of stairs.

Sample questions for the groom:

  • date of meeting the bride;
  • date of birth or interests of parents;
  • culinary preferences of the beloved;
  • favorite colors;
  • shoe and clothing size;
  • location of the mole;

The nature and themes of the questions can correspond to the wedding theme, and by showing imagination when compiling them, the ransom participants can have a lot of fun. In case of an incorrect answer, the groom will have to fork out.

The second task is designed to test the strength of the groom's love. For this, a wet towel is prepared and the newlywed needs to tightly tie it into a knot, showing by this how much he loves the bride. But the competition doesn't end there. After the groom has used all his power when tying the knot, the host offers to untie it as quickly as possible so that everyone can see the speed with which he will forgive all his insults.

The third contest is that the opening of the entrance door to the bride's apartment is completely filled with inflated balloons and in order to enter the apartment the groom should get rid of them as quietly as possible. If he cannot do this, the easiest way will be to pay off the leaders.

For the last test, a bridesmaid, a man and a woman are selected. They should be dressed in women's clothes and placed in different rooms. The groom must correctly choose the room in which his bride is located, with each wrong choice he will have to pay off the leaders.

Scenario for the ransom of the bride in the form of a quest

Various game quests quickly found many fans among today's youth, and organizing a ransom in the form of a quest has become a popular entertainment at a wedding. When preparing the scenario, the organizers will need to consider a lot:

  • Weather - it can change, so you need to prepare a fallback scenario. The day before, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the upcoming forecast and, if necessary, make adjustments to the scenario.
  • How to take a bride? So that she does not have to be bored while waiting for the groom, you can arrange small gatherings with girlfriends, during which you can organize small contests or a lottery. In addition, she will have extra time to prepare for the main stages of the wedding day.
  • The details of the scenario should be known only to the organizers of the ransom, so that the groom does not find out ahead of time about the whereabouts of the bride.

Approximate scenario of the quest - bride kidnapping

Early in the morning, the courier brings the groom a note from the kidnappers and offers his help in the search. The search begins with the house of the kidnapped. In the bride's shoe, a note is found indicating the place where the groom should go, the phone number is also indicated there, which should be called in case of failure.


Arriving at the place indicated in the note, the groom meets the bridesmaid there, who demands a detailed description of the appearance of her beloved and, recognizing the girl, gives him her handbag. The purse contains instructions that lead the rescue team to the bus stop.


At the bus stop, a man dressed as a bandit is waiting for them, the groom buys a case with a combination lock from him. To guess the lock code, he needs to remember: the birthday of his beloved, the date of acquaintance, the size of her shoes. After the code is solved, another clue follows.

This clue leads the groom to a cafe, where the next encrypted instruction awaits him. For example: The person who will bring you to me is waiting on the street for the name of a worthy commander. Opposite the building, which is avoided by all young men from 18 to 27 years old. Following the instructions, the groom goes to the military registration and enlistment office and, having paid the guide, finally gets to the place where the bride is being held.

But the door to the room is guarded by sleeping guards, and the groom needs special care to get there. To prevent the guards from waking up, he would have to sing a lullaby. Having made his way into the room, the groom finds several girls there sitting on chairs and covered with bedspreads, only the girl's hand is visible. According to her, the groom must guess who his bride is. If he made a mistake in choosing, he will have to pay off.

Ransom script in Russian folk style

The folk-style scenario is also very popular among newlyweds who prefer to follow old traditions. To conduct a ransom in the Russian style, you need to prepare for the leading folk clothes - sundresses, scarves. As well as the necessary props for testing. When compiling dialogues, the facilitators are recommended to use old Russian speech turns.

After a welcoming speech, the presenter invites the groom to ride on the "heroic horse" - a tricycle. The route must be prepared in advance - it can be a path to the entrance or a circle around the house. On the way, you can install small obstacles in the form of a stretched thread or a laid stone.


The next test of agility and speed. The groom will have to compete with a man dressed in a goblin costume. Participants are given buckets of water with a small ball inside a glass jar. It is necessary with the help of a plate to fill the jar with water from a bucket so that the ball rises up and can be reached. Whoever completes the task first wins. In case of loss, the groom pays a ransom.

Then the groom has to climb the steps, on which cards with funny inscriptions are laid out, and only on the very top is the correct card with the inscription - for love. It is on it that you need to stand up, bypassing all the others. A little hint: let the witness take the groom in his arms to this step.

The scenario is great for ransoming a bride from an apartment building, where there is an entrance with a staircase. Costumes are optional. To create oriental motifs, light accessories will be enough.

Presenter 2:
- Well, get married, then get married.
Why are you knocking on us?
This is not a market - a sultanate!
We don't let everyone in!
They immediately took over the place.
Who do you need here?

Groom :
- Bride!

Presenter 1:
- Groom, and you are daring:
I got to the ball from the ship.
After all, our bride is a fairy tale,
malachite eyes,
Skin - peach, sugar - lips,
And the character is not rude,
And beautiful, and blush,
And besides - the daughter of the Sultan.

Presenter 2 (walks around the groom, examines from all sides):
- So, let's check the appearance,
Well, you look like a horseman.
You know, sir, that the East,
Although beautiful, but cruel.
There is no place for simps here
A wedding is not a trifle
We are the beautiful bride
We won't just show it.

Presenter 1:

Do not regret beautiful words
For your beloved.

Presenter 1 (before steps):

You have impressed all of us.
But steps, you look,
Still enough ahead.
Well, groom, don't hang your nose,
Answer some questions.
Let everything be honor by honor:
All questions are about the bride.

Presenter 2 (at the door to the apartment):
- Well, the groom is not a mistake with us,
