Bride Ransom Posters: Features, Designs and Production
The bride ransom is a very long tradition. Today, this component of the wedding script has lost its original meaning and remains only as a fun anticipation of the main celebration.
Tradition
The ransom begins when the groom appears at the bride's house. There the future husband is greeted by guests and given many interesting tasks to appreciate his intelligence, dexterity and generosity. The premises for the wedding, where the ransom takes place, is usually decorated with garlands, balloons, satin ribbons.
To bring a touch of originality to the holiday, you can hang up posters for the ransom of the bride with cool inscriptions, with children's photos.
Design
Most often, the responsibility for choosing the posters falls on the shoulders of the bridesmaids. Since they are very familiar with the ransom scenario, it will not be difficult for them to pick up stretch marks in addition to the groom's trials. It is good if, along with quotes or poetic slogans, the poster contains wedding greetings and good wishes. Ransom posters can be hand-drawn posters with assignments, puzzles, crosswords. Posters with cartoons of the newlyweds, funny pictures of family life, kisses, cartoons on the topic of raising children would be appropriate. It is not worth making too many posters, as the room will look clumsy and overloaded.
For lovers of Soviet slogans, it is recommended to prepare appropriate posters with several comic inscriptions: "Have you prepared for family life?", "Give me a marriage with a quality mark!" other. A girl and a guy of athletic build can be used as characters.A great option for a wedding poster is a photo collage. It can be made in the form of a wall newspaper with images of the main characters of the day and humorous comments. It is very easy to make such a poster with your own hands. It is enough to have several interesting joint photographs of the newlyweds for printing, add humorous statements and a couple of cartoons to the wall newspaper. Such creativity can become not only an attribute of a wedding script, but also a real memorable gift for the young.
You can also attach A4 leaflets to the posters. On them write humorous parting words for the future spouse from the series: "The bride cannot be returned or exchanged!" other. The easiest way to stock up on posters is to buy from a store. Among the wide range of assortment, you can choose the necessary inscriptions, background and the required color scheme of the poster. If you want to create unique posters, they can be ordered from the printing industry. True, this will require some cash costs. A print professional may have several layout options that can be used as a basis for a poster, making adjustments accordingly. If you wish, you can order absolutely original posters for printing.
In addition to purchased posters, you can create some DIY holiday decorations. It is good if one or two of the bridesmaids know how 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, it is necessary to have on hand all the materials that will be required in the course of work:
- thick paper of different sizes;
- surface for sketches and experiments;
- colored paper for cutting;
- colored 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 other elements are torn or frayed by the wind even before the start of the holiday, and the paint does not stain the dresses and costumes of the guests. Scenes for drawing should be chosen in accordance with the style of the wedding celebration. For a classic event, you can limit yourself to the traditional portrayal of the young. For a stylized wedding, such pictures are suitable, but in limited quantities.
It is better to select posters in full accordance with the theme, then they will harmoniously merge into the general holiday. For example, if the newlyweds are representatives of biker circles, the posters should contain certain statements that are understandable only to “their own”, images of road signs, traffic police posts. If the event takes place on a ship or simply in a "nautical style", then among the indispensable attributes on the banners should be the sea, watercraft, 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 are sitting.
Posters designed in accordance with the favorite film adaptation of the young will be interesting. It can be a film (including a horror film), a cartoon or a program ("Guess the melody", "One hundred to one" and others). Don't worry about the artistic value of the image. No outstanding talent is required when making posters. It is enough that all statements are written large and legible, and the illustrations are interesting and comical. Nobody demands the likeness of the painted bride and groom with real faces. This is not the main thing in the design of wedding stretch marks.
You shouldn't delegate the task of making posters to one person. Better if it is 5-6 girlfriends who can prove themselves in any one area: poetic, illustration, creative design.
If it is difficult to come up with an original poster on your own, you can spy on the options on the Internet and borrow something from there, for example, humorous phrases. Beautifully and brightly decorated posters will create the desired festive mood, surprise and delight the main heroes of the occasion.
