The scenario of the jubilee - 70 years for a man - only at first glance seems pathetic, boring or serious. In fact, such an event can be very interesting and even fun.
Of course, such a respectable age imposes a number of restrictions both on the celebration itself, and on gifts, toasts, congratulations, and even on the decorations used for the room.
What to consider when choosing a scenario?
For such a man’s jubilee (70 years), the script is cool and requires excessive physical activity, not always suitable, even if its content is interesting and understandable for the elderly birthday man.
When choosing a ready-made script or composing your own, you should definitely consider the following nuances:
- the health of the birthday person and guests;
- age features;
- personal preferences of the hero of the day;
- Lifestyle.
The ideal conditions for organizing such an anniversary are to know exactly how the birthday person wants to celebrate the holiday, in order to only supplement and diversify these wishes.
Why you need to pay attention to health?
Of course, preparing a script for the anniversary of a man of 70 years, you do not need to require a birthday card and his guests medical records or medical certificates. Also, direct questions should not be asked, since they are unethical and can offend an elderly man.
Relatives, especially close ones, in principle, do not have to find out anything; inside the family, there is always talk about health. But distant relatives or strangers will have to find out this information.
Health should be understood not only such important points as an unhealthy heart, but also delicate "little things" that, at first glance, have nothing to do with the celebration scenario. It is important to know whether an elderly person has digestive difficulties, is prone to flatulence, does he suffer from congestion, does he have short-term memory disorders, neurological pathologies, tremors, and so on. If possible, you need to get similar information about elderly guests.
This information is only needed for one purpose - to understand what kind of contests, jokes and table entertainment are not very appropriate for a particular anniversary.
For example, if a birthday person suffers from indigestion and is prone to flatulence, you can not force him to active contests in the center of the hall, as an unpleasant embarrassing situation can happen.
Neurological disorders, as well as increased or intraocular pressure, are absolute contraindications to the use of club type of lighting. That is, flashing light decoration of rooms or competitions, flickering lights and other modern techniques associated with color spotlights.
The hero of the day, suffering from plethora, should not be forced to bend down and squat, respectively, such contests are subject to exclusion.
If the birthday party has short-term memory disorders, you can not engage in table entertainment with the need to remember something. Tremor is an obstacle to all entertainment in which motor skills of the hands are involved. Writing, throwing darts, throwing balls into the basket and other similar games also do not need to be included in the celebration scenario for this disease.
The tendency to stroke or heart disease does not allow for engaging a cool script for a man’s 70-year-old anniversary, a “new word in organizing holidays,” as agencies say, such as rallies. Such entertainment can provoke a heart attack or rupture of a vessel in the brain. Of course, we are talking about major rallies, and not about scenes at the table.
Unfortunately, in Russia there is no such concept or legal precedent as the responsibility of the event organizers for the health and mental comfort of their clients. Meanwhile, in the West, every specialist who organizes such events necessarily finds out the full picture of the state of health of the hero of the anniversary, and this does not surprise or offend anyone.
What is meant by age features?
This moment directly determines what you need to use for the anniversary of a man of 70 years a cool script, with an abundance of jokes and humor or not worth it. At 70, all people feel differently, this applies not only to health, but also to intellectual capabilities and social position.
That is, for example, for one elderly hero of the day the stand-up comedy comedy contest will be pleasant, and the other just won’t understand what is said at the table. But out of politeness he smiles.
These are the age-specific features that must be taken into account in everything from the content of entertainment to the decor elements in the hall.
How to relate to the personal preferences of the hero of the day?
The scenario of the jubilee of 70 years for a man, with or without competitions, should correspond as closely as possible to the birthday party's ideas about his birthday and his wishes. Each birthday should be oriented towards the celebration of the celebration hero, regardless of age. But the older the person, the more important it is to organize everything the way he wants.
For example, if a birthday boy likes to sing under the accordion, it is with such numbers and competitions that you need to fill the program, rather than jumping in bags. To find out the preferences of the hero of the day is not so difficult. You just need to ask about them, while offering various scenarios, and if necessary explaining how they look in practice.
Selected in this way individual fragments and whole scenarios of the jubilee of a man of 70 years, with humor and contests, with a program, time for congratulations and toasts, delivery of gifts and breaks in a feast, will not disappoint the birthday man and will be positively received by his guests.
Why consider lifestyle?
A person’s lifestyle shapes his interests, determines what is close to him. For example, you can arrange a jubilee in a marine style. Accordingly, his program, contests and other entertainments are held in the same subject. To do this, you need a white cap with the inscription "Sea Wolf" for the birthday person, and for guests - "Skipper", "Boatswain" and so on.
The success of the holiday, in which all guests get on the ship and sail through the waves of years, is guaranteed. However, if the lifestyle of the birthday man and his friends is a summer residence, fishing, watching television films, then the most “flat” joke on the garden theme or concerning television characters will cause much more stormy emotions and will be remembered for a long time, and theatrical “sea” scenes will be forgotten in a few minutes.
This is the meaning of paying attention to the lifestyle and habits of the birthday man. Only given them, you can organize a celebration for the hero of the day, and not just a beautiful and cheerful celebration.
Do you need a lead?
The scenario of the jubilee - 70 years for a man - is not so difficult to realize without a host, but the presenter will still be required, moreover, depending on the complexity of the program and the number of guests, there may even be several.
By “host” most people understand the hiring of a person who “comes and does everything.” You can really do without it, moreover, independently prepared and spent anniversaries are always better, since close people are not indifferent to whether the birthday person will like the holiday or not.
As a rule, those who prepared the script for the man’s jubilee celebrate the holiday. 70th anniversary is the age at which a person can already have adult grandchildren. If they are, then the right to conduct should be granted to them, the birthday person will like it.
So that the presenters do not feel left out, which often happens during celebrations in restaurants, with a large number of guests, responsibilities should be shared among all close relatives. That is, if in a family for example 6 people, then all six spend in turn a certain part of the holiday. This approach is also appropriate if the scenario of the jubilee of the house is embodied. The man is 70 years old, that is, a person who is even in excellent physical shape periodically thinks about what he managed to do, how he lived his life, what legacy he will leave. Change of family members during the anniversary, of course, if it looks natural, demonstrates the unity of relatives. From the side, with a similar style of conducting, the holiday looks like it was being prepared by the whole family.
Are the scenarios for the restaurant and home environment different?
The number of guests, the availability of free space in the room, the preferences of the birthday person and much more determine how this anniversary will become like a 70 year old man. The scenario at home is no different from what can be embodied in a restaurant, with the exception of some nuances.
For example, the restaurant hall has what is not in the apartment:
- space
- a platform for musicians or a stage;
- the opportunity to host a large number of guests.
However, a table in the common room, and not a fully rented room, on the contrary, significantly limits the celebration.
There is not a single scenario that could not be embodied in an apartment. You just need to take into account all its possibilities and come up with the option of implementing the desired competition or artistic performance. For example, live music, which most restaurants present as an advantage, is not so difficult to replace karaoke. If you need to get free space, you can temporarily move the furniture or move it to another room.
Home celebration has many advantages, it is unacceptable only with a large number of guests.
What should be in an interesting scenario?
The scenario of an anniversary of a man of 70 years old differs from boring only in that his program resonates with the birthday man and his guests. Only this criterion determines whether the script is good or not.
In order for the holiday to be successful, no creative is needed. Brilliant ideas are good, but when carried away by the embodiment of their own unique thoughts, the organizers constantly forget about the main thing - a specific person celebrates the anniversary and a holiday is made for him. If an elderly birthday boy is interested in playing a “table detective” or throwing darts, this is exactly what should fill the script, and not lightsaber fights, wish trees, and more.
How to make a script?
Any scenario for holding the anniversary has a frame, a kind of lattice, on which the fragments that make up the celebration are already “strung”.
Invariable components of each scenario:
- preliminary part;
- opening of the anniversary;
- start of the celebration;
- program;
- completion of the holiday stage with contests, entertainment and more;
- cheating.
We must not forget that during each part of the script, in addition to the opening, preliminary moments and independent dogging, there must be breaks.
How to calculate the time?
When writing a script for a celebration in a restaurant, you should start by taking into account how many hours are allocated for the event. This time needs to be divided between the structural components of the script. At least two hours should be left for the last part, and an hour should be left for the preliminary part. Of course, meeting and seating guests will take less than an hour, but it is better to have time in reserve than to face its lack.
The rest of the time is allocated based on such determining factors:
- number of guests, close friends and family members;
- the duration of breaks in the program from 10 to 20 minutes;
- 5 to 8 minutes are laid on toasts, with an interval of 8 to 15.
How much time the guests will say is unknown. The interval is also not constant. For example, in terms of the opening of the jubilee, the interval between feasts is always shorter than in the middle of the celebration.
The holiday will be rehearsed optimally. This does not require inviting a birthday person and guests. Enough 3-4 members of the family, acting as invited. Of course, this will give only an approximate idea of how the celebration will go. But even such a rehearsal will avoid many small mistakes.
What's in the opening?
The scenario of the jubilee of a man of 70 years begins to embody, always one of its organizers. Well, if it makes a "favorite" of the hero of the day. Each family has a beloved grandson or another “favorite”. Even if this person was not related to the arrangement of the celebration, he should give him the right to deliver the first table congratulatory speech opening the celebration.
Following the toast that opened, followed by congratulations from family members and very close people. After they are completed, a break is required. On this, the opening of the holiday ends and its main part begins, in which alternate:
- toasts of other guests;
- program numbers and other entertainment;
- breaks.
The speech opening the banquet should not be too long, but it should also not be nominal, consisting of a pair of on-duty phrases.
What to say in the first toast?
The anniversary opening speech can be delivered in any genre that is pleasant to the birthday man.
Prose-style opening example:
"Good evening. We gathered here to congratulate (name) on an amazing holiday - birthday. It’s amazing because every year you live always surprises and gives something new to those who never age with their souls. Namely, this is your main quality, (name). 70 years is a whole milestone in the knowledge of life, but ahead is no less interesting and surprising.
Raise our glasses and open the door to the eighth dozen for (name). For you, dear (name)! Happy anniversary!".
How many contests do you need?
The fullness of the program depends on the number of guests, the duration of the celebration, the availability of artistic numbers and a number of individual moments. As a rule, less than 4 contests fail.
At least six should be prepared. Better to have stock in the program than to face a lack of entertainment. However, remember that quality is more important than quantity. You can, for example, engage one big competition lasting the entire anniversary if the birthday man is against any “special” entertainments.
What can be done if there are a lot of guests?
With a large number of guests, a good and interesting option will be such a competition as the drawing of the right to make a toast.
For him, you will need to prepare the numbers in advance and fix them on each chair. It is simpler and more convenient than handing guests over. The same numbers should be placed in the drum.
After the end of the celebration, the host announces that all the toasts will sound in the order of the lottery draw, which will begin in 10 minutes. This is very convenient because it will streamline the time that guests spend on a break.
Spins the drum and takes out a winning number, of course, the birthday man. This competition lasts throughout the celebration, with breaks for rest and other elements of the script.
Are there any popular contests?
Such a competition as forfeiters is always interesting and in demand. If forfeits are included in the scenario of the jubilee of a man of 70 years, then they must be played in:
- toasts;
- Songs
- ditties;
- poems;
- jokes
- "Start-continue" and so on.
Anyone who draws a phantom, for example, "poetry" must tell the hero of the day a poem. Of course, forfeits should be focused on the theme of the holiday.
You can play them many times in the evening. A holiday with phantoms is always interesting and original.
How to complete the anniversary?
The holiday ends, or rather, only its official part is the same person who opened it. You can close the official part with a toast, in which you must once again congratulate the hero of the day, express wishes and encourage guests to raise their glasses.
It is at this moment that you need to make a large cake with candles. If a firework, indoor pyrotechnic effects, or a firecracker salute are planned, then it should begin after blowing out the candles.
When the fireworks make a noise, and all those present drink, you need to announce that the holiday continues and indicate the remaining time.
