High school graduation a holiday in kindergarten is a celebration that requires long and careful preparation. High school graduation is a symbolic designation of the transition of a preschool child to a more adult school life. This final holiday in kindergarten should be remembered for a long time with vivid impressions and stormy emotions.

I wanted to spend it not quite usually, to go beyond the traditional "classic" celebration, I wanted to surprise everyone so that our holiday would be remembered by everyone for a long time, most importantly, no tears and sadness. The children were interviewed on the topic "What do we expect from graduation During the long "stormy" discussions, based on the expressed wishes of the children, it was decided to hold it in style of 60-70s, with a bright name - " dudes". After all, our children love everything unusual, fashionable and creative.

FROM musical as a leader, we thought through everything to the smallest detail, starting from music of those years, scenery, bright costumes and games corresponding to the chosen style and ending with the preservation of the atmosphere of the 60s throughout the event. For a surprise moment, employees and parents were involved, who are always happy to respond to our requests. Them Creative skills and talent is sometimes simply admired. The children were delighted with this original holiday. He passed in one breath and left a lot pleasant experience all of its members. The holiday turned out to be cheerful and perky.

In the group and the locker room I designed a photo exhibition of children placed on photographic film. Photo children were of different ages, from junior group. Looking at them, even the parents did not recognize their children. Together with the children we made an inscription "Goodbye Kindergarten from paper flowers.

To decorate the muses hall used an old gramophone, records with photographs of children, bright ties, multi-colored silk ribbons, garlands of stars on the chandeliers and balls on the wall. It turned out very cool, beautiful and unusual. Guests and children have decoration hall, caused a surge of positive emotions.

Hello dear colleagues! Most recently, in our kindergarten passed graduation holidays. For music director this is a holiday,.

November 19, 2015

Another birthday is slowly approaching. I would like to note fun and original, but at first glance, there are not so many options. An annual feast is boring, a nightclub is banal... Besides, admitting to yourself that you are no longer a teenager and spontaneous fun is more luck than a guarantee is not at all easy. Here's one pretty creative suggestion for you.

Boogie Woogie Birthday!

Finally, there is a reason to turn into a bright, spontaneous, bold character from the distant 40s and 50s! Checkered shirts, dresses with large polka dots, colored socks, satin ribbons, red lipstick, ruffles… The absolute contrast of everyday dullness and a daily routine thought out to the minute! Loud laughter, dancing until the morning, jokes, singing with a guitar - in a word, everything that you have not done for many years. Well, or at all did not do never in a life!

Definitely it should be "issued" by the birthday man. Otherwise, there is a high risk of not pleasing the hero of the occasion. If this is an active, enterprising person, then, perhaps, organizing fun will be his best gift!

That's enough detailed advice and script to the organizer of the celebration. All of them are verified by the experience of my good friend:

1. Who to invite.

For a boogie-woogie birthday party, invite only your closest friends. It is impossible to foresee everything, but if there is a person who will endlessly sniff, sigh, wrinkle his forehead and draw his eyebrows together ... You are no longer a child, and it is absolutely not necessary to call “the whole class”. You have worked hard for a whole year and deserved to have a good rest in the circle of exceptionally welcome guests!

2. Invitations.

Dedicate a couple of hours to designing original invitations. Do not restrain yourself: on small white cardboard envelopes, draw colored balls, or any doodles with colored pencils. Perhaps in the “handmade” box there is foil, sequins, beads - great! It is not necessary to make them perfectly proportional - the main thing is bright, in time with the intended mood!

3. Place and decoration.

An ideal option would be a separate nightclub hall or a bar with a dance floor. The room does not have to be very large, you need to decorate it! Accordingly, the larger the room, the more decorations will be needed. The design of the hall is an important moment, as the invitees must feel the magic of what was conceived. In the specific case, do not skimp on the balls: the more the better! It will be useful christmas garlands and a mirror ball in the style of "disco" under the ceiling. Two or three posters with a painted turntable, a retro microphone on the stand and the inscription "Elvis" will wonderfully complement the interior! Can't draw? Similar posters are now quite popular - print from the Internet. If you manage to bring a real vinyl player or saxophone - give yourself an A!

4. Time of year and start time of the celebration.

This style of birthday is better for spring and summer birthdays: you get great photo on the street, and you don’t have to drag all the clothes in bags so as not to wrinkle under fur coats and down jackets. Invite guests to 19.00. Ask to be responsible and punctual. It is necessary for the most relaxed and cheerful to meet them. His task is to check the dress code, offer to buy something "under the table" (watches, ties, handkerchiefs) and name the password. Giving five rubles for a brilliant wig, the guest will automatically flare up with anticipation of the upcoming entertainment, and a password invented on the go will turn on the fantasy. Daylight will allow you to take bright pictures in daylight,

sit on the summer playground looking at each other, chatting about unimportant things.
After all, you probably haven’t seen one of the invitees for a couple of months, or even six months! Then we go into the "fun and drive non-stop" mode!

5. Dress code.

Consider costumes ahead of time. Make sure that no one ignores the request to dress like a "dandy"!

Help those who are having difficulty. This will save you from unnecessary worries of especially suspicious "white crows". The main rule: look stylish, despite the minimum restrictions of your imagination! You don't have to buy an expensive suit. Many have almost all the components of a super-outfit at home, the main thing is to combine it correctly! Bright dress is easy to decorate satin ribbons using the same ribbon as the hair element.
Bright large beads, red lipstick - not a shortage. You don't have to be a first-class designer to make a bow tie for a shirt with your own hands. Ruffled socks and plastic jewelry can be bought at any underground passage. Look online for hairstyles that were trendy at the time. Mostly they are simple: a little mousse, hairspray and voila!

6. Music.

Fun "like dudes" involves a lot of dancing and active competitions. Everything should be loud, expressive, on the verge of decency! Without preparing the appropriate conditions, you can not achieve any drive, or rock and roll, or the desired unforgettable experience. Make no mistake about 30 songs that will circulate around. Undoubtedly, groovy music, legendary hits, things that promote relaxation or cause positive nostalgia should sound! If you don't want to hire a DJ, do it yourself!
Here are some good examples: the Bravo group (“yellow shoes”, “give me this night”, “black cat”, “love girls”, “of course Vasya”), Zoo (“I love boogie-woogie”), Secret (“ major rock and roll"), Garik Sukachev ("my little babe"), Chaif ​​("17 years old"), Time machine "old ship". And a sea of ​​hits by Elvis Presley, Benny Goodman, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly ...

7. Contests.

The audience must be well warmed up. Do not start contests earlier than 3 hours after the start of the banquet. There is also a minimum of complexes and restrictions. My options:

Competition "dance battle between boys and girls".

If there are "activists", prepare a thematic pair dance that will lead the audience and prepare for this competition. To the groovy music, both groups dance opposite each other. The selected "chief choreographer" shows the rest of the movements invented on the go. Synchronization and quality of performance are evaluated. Be sure to choose an independent judge! It could very well be a birthday boy or a DJ!

Competition "striptease for the birthday girl".

Two or three guys to the song of Joe Cocker "You can leave your hat on", the notorious fifth point, slowly and synchronously, write the name of the birthday girl in the air. If she wants, then the surname and patronymic. The best stripper wins a prize.

Funny Face Photo Contest. We carry out a simple photo shoot, compare the individual caricatures of each, the winner is a prize! Be sure to take a group photo like this!

Competition "Choose your dance". Participants blindly draw a solo or pair dance from a bag of leaves, prepare for 5-10 minutes and go to the casting “everyone dances in Boogie style”. Pick up cool options: “Dancing like Elvis”, “Dancing like in “dirty dancing”, “Dancing like in “9 and a half weeks” and so on. Stock up on simple props and costumes - performers can be very responsible.

The rewards will be simple round emoticons made of cardboard. The two participants with the maximum number will compete for a real prize. Here, as a reward, come up with something more worthwhile: movie tickets, a good accessory, a gift certificate.

8. Drinks.

Leave the wine and cognac for next year. On this day, only rainbow drinks with umbrellas, cherries, twisted straws! For men - whiskey and cola, for women - martinis and a variety of "blue lagoons", mojitos and "sex on the beach". On the bar counter or a separate table, put a bottle of vermouth, vodka, liqueur, martini and several varieties of juice (cherry, orange, apple), cola and sprite. Provide ice and suitable glasses for cocktails. Arrange slices of lemon, orange, cranberries, cherries, grapes in small saucers. Do not forget about important little things: mint leaves, cinnamon, ginger. Here everyone can show their individuality and come up with their own personal cocktail! By the way, this is another idea for the competition. The highlight will be the best taste and the original name!

9. Ringleader.

If you decide to do without a toastmaster, be prepared to entrust this difficult task to yourself or to a responsible one. Such a holiday will die before it starts, if you do not provide it with a quality source of energy, mood, drive! In the case in the photo, the birthday girl is the organizer of the celebrations, so she did everything in the best possible way!

10. Menu.

Everything is simple here. All sorts of harmful things will be appropriate: hamburgers, rural potatoes and fries, steaks. Place large containers filled with chips around the edges holiday table, organize an appetizing pyramid of chicken wings, beautifully lay out slices of hard cheese and balyk. There must be sauces for different tastes: tartar, mustard, garlic, plum ... Of course, an openwork tablecloth, multi-colored napkins, colored cardboard plates with “Happy birthday” drawings (full in supermarkets) will be useful!

11. Finale of the holiday.

If at the end of the groovy party everyone goes home - stay attentive, call a taxi for everyone. Don't forget to capture your goodbye.

If this act ends at home - provide a huge sleeping place with blankets and a couple of films to choose from, it seems to me that the “Stilyagi” option is mandatory. Maybe there are persistent tin soldiers who will gladly drink coffee under a perky picture. And, of course, having rubbed the legs aching from pleasant fatigue, they will make a couple of funny photos of exhausted sleeping friends. For a long memory, so to speak!

The most unique holiday for you!

Tired of boring and monotonous parties? Why not bring color to life and plunge into another world? Throw a party in style! Of course, you will have to devote a lot of time to preparing and writing a script, but it is worth the effort to arrange a noisy, bright and colorful fun.

In the USSR after the Great Patriotic War a subculture appeared, which later became known as "dudes". The dudes had their own slang and moral standards, they liked the American lifestyle, Lindy Hop dancing, rock and roll, boogie-woogie, jazz. bright clothes and bright makeup distinguished the dudes from the crowd.

Despite the persecution and ridicule of the authorities, the subculture developed and flourished, it had more and more admirers. To prepare a party in the style of dudes, you will have to pay attention to every detail.

Room selection and interior design

If you decide to have a party in the style of dudes, you need to come up with a sonorous name. For example, for March 8, you can call the holiday "Party for the brightest", and on New Year arrange a "Party in the Cocktail Hall", where dudes liked to gather so much. The design of the room will depend on the chosen theme of the holiday.

It’s hard to imagine a party of dudes without incendiary dances, so you need to choose a room with a large dance floor, otherwise the guests will be crowded.

  • Red drapery and garlands of gramophone records. These attributes will help recreate the atmosphere of the Cocktail Hall. This option is perfect to complement a corporate party in the style of dudes.
  • Contrasting design. To do this, make the drapery on one wall bright, like the clothes and lifestyle of dudes, and the second - ideological, gray. On the first, hang posters with slogans about freedom of choice, a vibrant life and calls for fun and enjoyment, and on the second - anti-advertising that was present in Soviet times. For example, "I will not lie down under the dude", "From the saxophone to the knife."
  • Photos of Elvis Presley and colorful accessories. Elvis Presley was worshiped by all dudes, so his photos must decorate the interior. Nearby you can place bright ties and souvenir dollars.
  • Tape recorder with reels. Now it is difficult to find it, but if you manage to get even a non-working one, you definitely need to bring it to the party.

The more carefully you think over the interior of the room, the more fun and carefree the holiday will turn out to be.

Guest invitations

To give your guests plenty of time, prepare your party invitations in style ahead of time. First, come up with original text using the appropriate slang, you can come up with it yourself or find it ready on the Internet. Secondly, decorate the card beautifully and hand it to future guests in person or send an electronic version to the post office.

What music to choose for a style party?

The dudes listened to Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Bill Haley, Charlie Parker. Just listen to the songs of these great artists and you will understand why the dudes dances were so groovy, light and carefree. You can add compositions by Russian performers to the music program - Zhanna Aguzarova and the Bravo group. Don't worry if you don't know how to dance, move to the rhythm of the music. Stilyagi at one time preferred rock and roll, boogie-woogie and twist.

Inventing your image

Clothing should be bright and contrasting. Girls must come in chic dresses with fluffy skirts and large petticoats, in clothes it is worth giving preference to red, yellow, orange, pink, green and other bright colors. Shoes or sandals should be elegant, with low or medium heels. The outfit must be complemented with bright stockings with visible seams. On the head you can make a pile or buy a felt, straw, velvet or velor hat with a veil, feathers or flowers.

Guys should buy tight pipe trousers, a bright shirt, a stylish striped jacket, a narrow bright tie, and colorful socks. If the hair is long enough, you can make a bouffant, and as an accessory, take an umbrella or a cane with you.

If you can’t find the right styles for a hipster party, then just choose a bright and stylish outfit.

Menu and meeting guests

Another crucial stage of preparation is the preparation of the menu. There are no special restrictions, it is better to navigate not the preferences of the guests. If you invited friends just to have fun, chat and dance, then the usual with cold appetizers and wine will be enough, and if you invite them to a themed birthday, then the menu should be rich and thoughtful.

Organize a meeting with guests in an unusual way. Remember that dudes were persecuted, put one person at the entrance who will ask the same question, to which you need to come up with a funny answer. Previously, this served as a check so that outsiders did not get into the party.

Next to the inspector, you can put a “dude” in a black raincoat who will open the floors of clothes and offer to buy bright ties, ribbons and other accessories.

Style party script

The most important thing in preparation is to come up with a scenario for a party in the style of dudes. First, dedicate all the guests to dudes and come up with underground nicknames for each. Let dances and carefree conversations be the main part of the program, and to diversify the party, come up with unusual style contests:

Competitions with the nominations "best": "Best outfit" (arrange competitions for girls and guys), "Best dancer or dance couple", "Meloman", "Slang connoisseur", "Stilyagi movie connoisseur", etc.

"Records" - a competition for couples. Prepare in advance a semblance of gramophone records. They can be cut out of cardboard or made from disposable tableware there should be a small hole in the middle. For the competition, invite several dance couples. Include different music, at first slow, then twist, rock and roll, jazz, boogie-woogie and again lyrical composition. The plates, at the command of the host, are clamped between the foreheads, elbows, and hips. The couple that manages to hold the plate longer than the rest wins.

"Twist on the newspaper". This hip hop party contest will help determine the best twist dancer. The host chooses several participants, the one who was the first to tear the newspaper with his feet during the dance wins.

It is difficult to imagine a brighter and at the same time budget celebration than a wedding in the style of dudes. The so-called Soviet carnival with the music of our parents' youth, crazy color schemes and unbridled fun will surely appeal to even the most shy and constrained guests. In the design of such a wedding, you should not be afraid to overdo it, because the motto of dudes is life to the fullest.

Stilyagi is a subculture popular in the 60s of the last century on the territory of the USSR. She was distinguished by her love of rock and roll, freedom of expression, emphasized individuality and a somewhat romanticized idea of ​​​​American culture, as a multi-colored fairy tale, consisting of continuous parties.

Own slang, recognizable clothes, overflowing enthusiasm - good decorations for a birthday new family. Arranging is extremely simple - a dude-style wedding does not require huge financial investments and it is quite possible to organize a celebration on your own, especially if you are familiar with that period from films or history.

Important! Finding a suitable toastmaster is not a problem, because such a theme opens up unlimited scope for creativity for a professional, and Soviet motives are very popular with event agencies.

Such a wedding is very different from the classical ceremony, and older relatives may not understand you. But if you are confident in their loyalty and in your own ability to rock, then why not give it a try? After all, sincere fun in the end will still appeal to even the most skeptical guests. So, if you are young, energetic, love rock and roll and dances of that period, hate frames, boring standard ceremonies and officialdom, then a dude wedding is created for you.


The most important features of the style include:

  • music and dance of the 60s- rock and roll, boogie-woogie, twist and, of course, melodies performed by Elvis Presley;
  • bright flashy colors and their unexpected combinations: both in design and in appearance participants;
  • pipe trousers and herring ties for men, best of all - orange, scarlet, lemon color;
  • for women - fitted dresses of the most non-standard colors with a fluffy short skirt;
  • Soviet aesthetics and the struggle against it(for example, buying a bride from a critical party meeting);
  • crazy drive along with a romantic personality;
  • dancing, dancing and more dancing!

Place

The celebration is best moved to indoors and quite spacious, because there should be enough space for incendiary dances. Don't go for over-decorated venues, you'll likely need to strip the old decoration off and make your own anyway.


If you want to create the exact atmosphere, then try to negotiate the lease of some kind of palace of culture, an ordinary dining room, or another room with a recognizable flavor that has been preserved from Soviet times - square plates on the ceiling, wide stairs, long tables. All this can be an excellent canvas for your creativity.

If the soul asks for space and freedom, then a rented house or an ordinary cottage will do. It’s great if there is a large veranda where you can continue the fun even with sharply deteriorated weather. The main thing is that the setting should have a minimum of modern attributes and decor.

Outfit Ideas

It is clear that a classic suit and white will destroy the lovingly created atmosphere in a second. Therefore, if you decide to celebrate like dudes, then you should carefully approach the selection of appearance.

The image of the bride

The dress must be shortened and bright - red, light green, lemon. Do not be afraid of juicy and flashy shades! The outfit in fashionable then polka dots looks wonderful, other large, contrasting prints are also acceptable.

If you still want White dress, then be sure to add a bright, eye-catching accessory - a belt, shoes, a ribbon along the hem. Perfectly fit into the style of the bottom color skirt peeking out from under the top.


The more pomp at the bottom of the dress, the better., and it should be achieved not by crinolines, namely large quantity fabrics. Don't skimp on petticoats!

It is important to highlight the waistline fitted silhouette. So the overall image will turn out to be especially feminine. A distinctive detail of that time is a bright belt, which is tied to a flat bow on the back.

Choose bright, patent leather shoes with high heels. Do not forget to complement the outfit with seamed nylon stockings - in the days of dudes, they were at the height of fashion. Bold brides will like such a solution as colored tight tights or stockings. For the theme of dudes, it will be quite organic even with a bright dress, although shades should be selected carefully.

Advice! The hairstyle should not be too complicated and high, but it is worth achieving the smoothness of the hair. Let the strands lie hair to hair. Perfect fit, babette, bouffant.

As decorations, use large jewelry, artificial bright flowers and satin ribbons, and they should not be worn on the forehead, but on the top of the head. If you want to leave curls, then be sure to wind them on large curlers.


A veil in the image of dudes is usually not used, but if desired, you can unobtrusively fasten the accessory to the hairstyle from below, under a bun or babette. A colorful, lush, short veil is perfect for the general mood.

Do not forget about the spectacular. You should look emphatically bright, youthful and feminine. Black or colored eyeliner, bright shadows (it is not forbidden to play with contrasts), mascara, red lipstick, blush - no nude, here it is completely inappropriate.

under all this splendor, it is also worth choosing bright, but from simple colors that grew on the backyards of Soviet citizens - asters, dahlias, phloxes.

The image of the groom

It is definitely worth putting aside tuxedos and strict business suits. The stylish groom is simply obliged to choose an outfit in bright unexpected colors - orange, lemon, light green, raspberry! You can use a cage and polka dots.

If such a multicolor is still too bold for you, then put on neutral color pipe trousers and a bright jacket. At the same time, the shirt should be plain, but the tie must be colored, the best of all is the “herring” style.


Be sure to choose lacquered, pointed shoes, best of all with a thick white sole. If the length of the hair allows, and the groom is not afraid to go beyond, then a “cook” can be a great finishing touch - a recognizable hairstyle a la Elvis Presley.

Add a bold touch to your look with contrasting colored socks peeking out from under cropped trousers.

Dress code for witnesses and guests

To maintain the unity of style, guests should also dress brightly, boldly, extravagantly. Not everyone has such things in their wardrobe, so it’s better to leave a table with accessories at the entrance.- dark glasses, satin ribbons, flashy ties.

Idea! It is better not to put accessories on the table for free access, but to give them to the toastmaster or animator, who during the evening will play the role of a black marketer and offer a "deficit" from under the floor. The sea of ​​emotions on this occasion is provided!

Even the most ordinary suit, decorated with such details, will perfectly fit into the style. and will not allow the guest to feel like a black sheep.


Bridesmaids must be in dresses similar in style - fitted and with a fluffy short skirt. Colors can be both different for each girl, and echoing in shades with the bride's outfit. For example, if the bride chose a lemon outfit with a purple belt, then the bridesmaids will look wonderful in purple dresses with yellow peas.

The outfits of the groom's friends should also echo the attire of the hero of the occasion. For example, their ties may match the color of his jacket.

invitations

Invitations recorded on vinyl records will most harmoniously fit into the style. Another option is a pin-up postcard with your photos.

You can go further and draw up cards as Soviet notices of a party meeting about a fiancé who has lost his head from love. Do not be afraid to experiment, style involves uniqueness and self-expression.


Handwritten postcards, a newspaper clipping, images of a saxophone or a record player - all this will wonderfully fit into the overall picture and set the guests in the right mood.

It's a good idea to use special slang for the invitation, for example, the appeals "dude" and "dude". However, for serious or older guests, such immersion in the era is only possible if you are one hundred percent sure of their sense of humor. Don't forget to write on the invitation that there will be a dress code for the wedding.

Tuple

It is best to get old Soviet cars for a style wedding procession- "Victory", "Volga", even "Zaporozhets" will do.

The ideal option is to paint the car in catchy colors: lemon, acid green, orange, but if this is not possible, then standard colors will do. Just add more decor - tinsel, balls, ribbons.


Plant dolls on the hood, symbolizing the newlyweds. In the 60s, dolls, along with balloons, were almost the only element of car decor.

If possible, rent a real Soviet tram for guests. Walking around the city in it will definitely be unforgettable.

Banqueting hall

Remember that you need a lot of space. Most of the time you will be dancing and participating in active, so it is better to move the tables to the walls so that they do not block the passage.

Use the attributes of Soviet discos - a large ball sparkling with mirrored edges above the ceiling, vinyl players and records, a saxophone, or symbols of that time - posters, scarlet banners, faceted glasses. Confetti will fit perfectly Balloons, paper garlands.


Be sure to hang a large Elvis Presley poster or some old vinyl records in a prominent place. It is better not to use a white plain tablecloth. Red, orange, blue, checkered or polka dot - the colors should fit into the overall design.

Idea! You can add entourage with a soda machine, Russian salad, aspic fish and other dishes on the table that were popular in the Soviet era.

Accessories

The situation is made up of details, which means that wedding accessories must be given the utmost attention. Replace glasses with faceted glasses or purchase colored glasses of a laconic design, best of all - red. On the legs of crystal glasses, large bows look perfect, repeating the same accessory on the bride's dress.


A pillow for rings must certainly be bright. Any colors and patterns are acceptable - peas, a cage, a bow. Sprinkle a pillow with confetti or hide rings in bright sequins.

The wish book can stand out with a flashy cover of red, orange, purple hue or look like a Soviet barn book or an old notebook. But in the second case, be sure to put colored pens or markers nearby so that the brightness of the colors is preserved in the notes that the guests will make.

Cake

The main delicacy of the holiday simply has to be bright and unusual. The more glaze colors it has, the better. Use decoration with peas, contrasting combinations of layers, figurines of the newlyweds - always dancing and dressed as dudes.

A more discreet option is a dessert in the form of a vinyl record, saxophone, tape recorder, but in this case, be sure to add bright details.


Since the dudes were guided by an idealized American culture, it can be made in the form of a giant hamburger. Taste is your choice.

Contests

The chosen style is a paradise for good toastmaster, as the spirit of general fun will encourage those present to the most daring antics. But you can do it on your own, and for inspiration, watch the movie of the same name.

Here are a few simple, but extremely funny contests for all invitees without exception:

  • “Find a stash” is a task for the bride or mother-in-law. It is necessary to find a banknote hidden in the suit of the groom, while the toastmaster limits the search to more and more new conditions;
  • "Compliments" - divide all guests into two teams, for example, male and female. The task is to give the second side as many pleasant definitions as possible, but you need to give compliments exclusively on the slang of dudes;
  • "Defile on Broadway" - dudes even gait showed idleness and readiness for fun yu, so you can arrange a competition, who will be able to best repeat the "dude's walk". The winner is determined by general voting.


The surprise will be the dance of the young, because the classical waltz will be inappropriate, but boogie-woogie or other complex composition in the spirit of the era will cause real delight. Most likely, you will have to attend a certain number of individual lessons in advance, but the result is worth it. Be sure to warn the photographer, as such a moment must be captured on video.

After the dance of the young, it’s a good idea to invite all guests to have fun, to participate in. Representatives of the older generation may not have any difficulties, because they will remember with pleasure how they "annealed" in their youth. But for young guests, it is better to invite a teacher who will be able to quickly and with a twinkle explain the simplest, but spectacular movements. The toastmaster or one of the guests can act as a teacher. The main thing is that the master class is fun, and the general dance is sparkling.

Photoshoot

A photo session must necessarily convey the spirit of the era. If it is possible to conduct it separately, then the best option- a studio with Soviet scenery. If you want to combine shooting with a banquet, then make sure that there is good light in the area you have chosen. There will be plenty of colorful details, but bright flashing light music can become a serious opponent even for an experienced photographer. It is best to choose a professional in whose portfolio this is not the first successful wedding of dudes.


Great shots of young people will turn out on the dance floor, with saxophones in their hands, next to the player or inside a vintage car. If you wish, you can invite the bridesmaids with the groom's friends into the frame, and create a voluminous complex composition based on the poster for the film "Dandies".

Advice! If you want to surprise guests, then ask the photographer to use not only professional equipment, but also a regular Polaroid, or try to take a couple of shots yourself. Instantly developed picture will cause everyone's delight, and photographs can be a good souvenir.

A photo

If you want your wedding to be not an ordinary celebration, but become an enchanting, bright, unforgettable event, then you should organize a holiday in the style of a dude. And then the drive concentrate is guaranteed to you!

Brightly dressed young people with unimaginable hairstyles, who succumbed to the “pernicious influence of the West”, lovers of noisy parties, ignoring the norms of Soviet morality, made a lot of noise: they were exposed and stigmatized, expelled from the Komsomol and expelled from large cities ...

Nevertheless, this subculture existed for quite a long time: until the early 60s.

In 2008, Valery Todorovsky's film "Hipsters" was released, immediately gaining popularity and love of the audience. This picture revived interest in dudes and in the era of the 50s. Many young people admired Mels, Fred and other characters in this film, and their style became popular, including for organizing wedding parties.

Features of the celebration

If you are young and cheerful, if you like noisy parties, bright clothes and dancing until you drop, this style will appeal to you. To create the right atmosphere, you need the following.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. But it is worth missing at least one detail - and the whole organization will turn out to be nothing but a failure.

Text

The text of the invitation to the wedding should contain words from the vocabulary of dudes. Appeal to guests - dudes and dudes, shoes - shoes, dancing - boogie-woogie, party - party, and other anglicisms. Texts of invitations "Dandies" should be written with humor.
