The ransom ceremony of the bride is a very old tradition. Today, this component of the wedding scenario has lost its original meaning and remains only as a cheerful anticipation of the main celebration.
Tradition
The ransom begins when the groom appears at the bride's house. There, the future husband is met by guests and asked him many interesting tasks to evaluate his mind, dexterity and generosity. The venue for the wedding, where the ransom takes place, is usually decorated with garlands, balloons, satin ribbons.
In order to bring notes of originality to the holiday, you can put up posters on the ransom of the bride with funny inscriptions, with children's photos.
Design
Most often, the responsibility for choosing posters lies with the bridesmaids. Since they are well acquainted with the ransom scenario, it will not be difficult for them to pick up stretch marks in addition to the trials conceived by the groom. It is good if, along with quotes or poetic slogans, the poster will contain wedding greetings and pleasant wishes. Redemption posters can be hand-drawn posters with tasks, puzzles, crosswords. Posters with cartoons of the newlyweds, funny pictures of family life, kisses, caricatures on the topic of raising children will be appropriate. Making too many posters is not worth it, as the room will look clumsy and overloaded.
For fans of Soviet slogans, it is recommended to prepare the appropriate posters with a few comic inscriptions: “Have you prepared for family life?”, “Give a marriage with a quality mark!” and others. As characters can be used a girl and an athletic guy.A great option for a wedding poster is a photo collage. It can be made in the form of wall newspapers with images of the main characters of the day and humorous comments. Making such a poster with your own hands is very easy. It’s enough to have some interesting joint photos of the newlyweds for printing, add humorous sayings and a couple of cartoons to the wall newspaper. Such creativity can become not only an attribute of the wedding scenario, but also a real memorable gift for the young.
Flyers in A4 format can also be attached to posters. To write on them humorous parting words for the future spouse from the series: “The bride cannot be returned and exchanged!” and others. The easiest way to stock up on posters is to buy in a store. Among the wide range of assortment, you can choose the necessary inscriptions, background and the desired color scheme of the poster. If you want to create unique posters, they can be ordered in the printing industry. True, this will require some cash outlay. Print specialists can offer several layout options that can be used as the basis for a poster by making appropriate adjustments. If desired, you can order absolutely original posters for printing.
In addition to purchased posters, you can create several holiday decorations with your own hands. Well, if among the bridesmaids one or two are able to draw beautifully, including comic scenes. For those who do not have such a gift, we can advise you to participate in the design with lips: leave a bright kiss on the poster.
DIY making
Before you start making posters, you must have at hand all the materials that will be required during the work:
- thick paper of various sizes;
- surface for sketches and experiments;
- colored paper for cutting;
- color pencils and graphics;
- felt-tip pens;
- paints (any consistency);
- photos of the newlyweds;
- decorative elements (satin ribbons, balls, bows).
The materials must be of good quality so that neither the paper nor the other elements are torn or frayed by the wind before the start of the holiday, and the paint does not stain the dresses and costumes of guests. Scenes for drawing should be selected in accordance with the style of the wedding celebration. For a classic event, you can restrict yourself to the traditional image of the young. For a stylized wedding, such pictures are suitable, but in a limited number.
It is better to select posters in full accordance with the theme, then they will harmoniously merge into the common holiday. For example, if the newlyweds are representatives of biker circles, posters should contain certain statements that are understandable only to "their", images of road signs, traffic police posts. If the event takes place on a ship or simply “a la nautical style”, then among the indispensable attributes on the banners should be the sea, boats, spouses at the helm. If the theme of the wedding is permeated with oriental flavor, you can illustrate the posters with sakura, under which the newlyweds sit.
Interesting will be posters designed in accordance with the favorite adaptation of the young. This can be a film (including a horror film), a cartoon or a program ("Guess the melody", "One Hundred to One" and others). Do not worry about the artistic value of the image. In the production of posters, any outstanding talents are not required. It is enough that all the statements were written in large and legible, and the illustrations were interesting and comical. No one demands the resemblance of a painted bride and groom with real faces. This is not the main thing in the design of wedding stretch marks.
Do not give the task of making posters to one person. It is better if it will be 5-6 girlfriends who can prove themselves in any one area: poetic, illustrative, creative and design.
If it’s hard to come up with an original poster on your own, you can peek at the options on the Internet and borrow something from there, for example, humorous phrases. Beautifully and brightly decorated posters will create the necessary festive mood, surprise and delight the main heroes of the occasion.
