Preparing for a children's party is a pleasant chore that accompanies the choice of original design and interesting competitions. Have you forgotten about the prizes for children? Our article will be about what will delight children.
Make sure that the appearance of the “gifts” attracts the attention of guests. You can ask your son or daughter what their hobbies are, what their friends who are invited to the celebration collect. Even the smallest toy or souvenir can be presented creatively if you think about how best to present it. Unusual or unusual packaging decorated with white balloons will intrigue no less than the prizes themselves for winning the competition.
Fashion for women
Online competitions are an ideal marketing strategy for any company in the fashion industry. When planning your targeting, remember that on the eve of the holidays it is better to contact the significant other and family members of your target audience. After all, they are the ones who will make the purchase. The most popular occasions: New Year, Valentine's Day and March 8th.

Photo

Meet the elephant
All participating guests stand in a circle. Everyone takes turns naming one animal - the most interesting and most unusual in their opinion. For example, an elephant is large, with a long trunk and kind eyes. When all the guests name their animal, the host announces that it is time to introduce your neighbor and say a few words about him. The show goes clockwise. That is, the first guest, pointing to the second, says, meet, this is Yura (he doesn’t name the animal, but only describes it in the same words he used to describe the elephant), Yura is big, with a long trunk and kind eyes, and so on. It will turn out very funny and interesting.

What to give to guests?
Prizes for wedding competitions can be anything, the main thing is that they are appropriate. You should buy gifts in advance so as not to waste time on shopping on the last day. However, the newlyweds do not always decide which prizes to buy. Quite often the choice is entrusted to the toastmaster. In this case, be sure to check out the list of competitions and prizes to avoid any unpleasant situations.
Useful little things
Gifts for wedding competitions can even be sold in the nearest supermarket . Your own imagination will help you choose them. For example, a chocolate bar can be a nice prize if you give it to a guest with a wish for a sweet life. Go to your local hardware store and you'll see some good prizes there too. For example, a set of hair ties can be a wonderful gift in competitions designed specifically for girls.
And if you go to a low-price store, which is now available almost everywhere, a huge scope opens up for creative ideas. Here are some very simple examples of things that can serve as prizes for competitions:
- stationery - pens, rulers, notepads;
- household goods - soap, shampoo or dishwashing sponge;
- beauty products that are advisable to use in competitions for girls - washing sponges, beautiful hair clips, hand creams;
- kitchen utensils - tea strainers, cup stands, baking tins;
- useful little things - a shoehorn, clothespins, silicone cloths for cleaning laptop keyboards;
- just cute things - soft toys, anti-stress pillows, head massagers.
Many of the listed souvenirs cost less than 100, or even 50 rubles.
Alcohol
If you give alcohol, then only good alcohol. However, not all newlyweds can afford a bottle of expensive cognac, and it is inappropriate to give too expensive gifts. It is optimal to give small bottles (about 200 ml) of good alcoholic drinks; it is inexpensive and quite convenient. If you really want to give a large bottle as a gift, you should organize a special competition for this, where this prize will be a worthy reward.
Sweets - which ones to buy?
If you give guests a delicious candy, a small cake or a lollipop as a prize, it will all be simply eaten, especially if the award is given for a table competition. It turns out that the guest will not even take anything with him from the wedding, he will only have time to taste the edible prize.
For example, a good gift would be a jar of jam, which, moreover, the presenter will be able to play correctly. Here are some more examples of sweet gifts:
- beautiful packaging of macarons;
- lollipops;
- marmalade;
- cookies in a holiday box.
Handmade
Handmade gifts are not always good . Firstly, handmade items can be quite expensive, in which case they fall into the category of inappropriate gifts that will embarrass the guest. Secondly, a handmade gift made unprofessionally is also unlikely to be appreciated. The exception is if it has some kind of emotional connotation, for example, it was made by a child specifically as a prize.
But, despite these shortcomings, there are plenty of excellent souvenirs among the handmade prizes:
- postcards using scrapbooking technique;
- Stuffed Toys;
- Handmade soap;
- stylish decorative figurines.
Photos
All guests will be pleased to take the photographs with them as a prize. These do not necessarily have to be photographs from the wedding; you can also use previously taken photographs of memorable moments. One option is photographs of newlyweds . Please note that only close relatives or friends will be pleased to receive prizes with such photos; others may not appreciate such a gift. Photos do not necessarily have to be printed; you can put them on some souvenirs, for example, magnets.
Another option is to give funny photos of guests . These should be personalized gifts intended for specific people. The photographs can depict significant moments or just some funny shots. Try to choose a photo so as not to offend the person. In this case, competitions need to be tailored to specific people. You can trust this to the toastmaster.
Souvenirs
Wedding gifts with images can be very different; it is not at all necessary to put photographs of the newlyweds or guests on them. They may also contain original inscriptions or congratulations. Texts can be universal or intended for a specific guest. You can put inscriptions on pens, mugs, T-shirts and other things.
Also, the prizes may have some kind of symbolism designed specifically for the event . Of course, the presenter must explain to everyone the meaning of the symbols.
Various funny pictures and inscriptions look great on the prizes. A funny picture will definitely cheer up the guests and enliven the event. The main thing is that the picture is not offensive, vulgar or offensive. Presentations with images can be made in the form of predictions . Then you can arrange not a competition, but a comic fortune-telling. For example, come up with good wishes that every guest would be pleased to receive.
You can also put text on the prize stating that it was made at your wedding, the date of the event and the location. Of course, this should not be simple, but beautifully designed text.
Cool stuff
It doesn’t hurt to add a little humor to any event program with competitions. You can laugh not only during the competition itself, but also at the gift that comes with it. Examples of cool prizes:
- colorful ties from a carnival store;
- clown noses;
- fan pipes;
- firecrackers.
Hotels/SPA
Companies from the hospitality and SPA industry can offer the most valuable prizes. It's especially good if they organize the competition in partnership with a restaurant or other similar business and offer an all-inclusive vacation experience.
In this case, it is advisable to choose simple draws and always indicate your contacts. It is important to reach as many participants as possible.
Prize ideas:
- Two nights at the hotel
- Romantic weekend for a couple (in partnership with a restaurant)
- Relaxing weekend (in partnership with SPA)
- Weekend for the whole family (in partnership with an amusement park)
- Free exchange of a regular room for a luxury one

What should you not buy as a souvenir?
When choosing souvenirs for guests, consider a few nuances. First of all, you should avoid souvenirs with religious themes. It is also not recommended to buy everyone the same gifts; this will immediately tell the guests that you did not pay attention to them at the stage of preparation for the wedding and did not appreciate their participation in competitions.
Consider the symbolism of things when purchasing. For example, many people attach importance to such signs as “giving a knife to a quarrel.” Try to avoid such purchases. It’s better to pay attention to what will definitely please them.
