Party in the style of Moulin Rouge. Corporate party "Moulin Rouge" - event agency "Comandante" Party in burlesque style what to wear

Oh cabaret! This word evokes a lot of pleasant associations: alluring debauchery, imperceptibly intertwined with luxury and chic, extravagant outfits and revealing dancing, loud laughter and the viscous aroma of cigars. Quite frank and, at times, even defiant style retains the sophistication and chic of France.

All this can be a great basis for organizing a memorable party, right? eventspro will tell you how to throw a cabaret-style party and not miss a single detail.

Where to gather guests?

The party can be held in a cafe, restaurant, cozy cottage outside the city and even in a hostel. If known approximate quantity guests, then it will be easier to decide on the premises. Once the main issue of choosing a celebration location has been resolved, you can proceed to further points of organization.

When looking for premises, be sure to consider some points:

• whether or not there will be a show program and what it will be like (for example, the classic cabaret cancan requires a decent size stage, and it’s hard to imagine it in an apartment...);
• almost obligatory smell of tobacco! What is a cabaret without cigars, and yet in Russia a law has been passed according to which smoking is prohibited in public places;
• almost revealing outfits of the party participants, which may not correspond to the dress code of some establishments;
• and of course the standard things: number of participants, design, territorial convenience.

We invite you in French

France is the birthplace of cabaret and therefore the main decorative elements must be designed in the appropriate style. This also applies to invitation cards. Openwork paper, impregnated with a subtle aroma of perfume, and made in pastel colors in a retro style - great option for a simple yet stylish invitation. Feathers and rhinestones on the envelope will help declare the luxury of the upcoming event. Do not forget to mention in the body of the letter the need to comply with the dress code.

Dress code for guests

Such a celebration allows you to get creative when choosing outfits, especially for women. You can forget about any complexes and prejudices and surrender to the “cabaret” style. Pay attention to the bright boas made of feathers, tight corsets of various colors, decorated with rhinestones, revealing stockings with suspenders, long gloves on the hands and ostrich feathers in the hair. Skirts – the fuller the better.

Don't forget about makeup! Bright red lipstick, provocative pink blush, arrows on the eyes and sparkle in the eyes are the components ideal image for a cabaret-style party. All that remains is to style your hair with large quantity varnish Hats with feathers and rhinestones would also be appropriate.

For men, the basic rule is elegance in appearance. Black formal tailcoats, tuxedos, bow ties, round top hats. In their hands are cigars, monocles and seemingly carelessly crumpled newspapers.

Let's add sparkle to the interior

The interior of the room in which the event will take place also requires some additions. At the entrance, place a sign with the inscription “Cabaret”, it can be done on thick cardboard or just a sheet of whatman paper, order a wooden sign or painting on fabric (depending on the budget, but most importantly, on the desire of the organizers to do everything to the highest standard or simply indicate the main points of the style ). The walls can be decorated with old posters (specially made for this event, of course).

Use black and red fabrics for draping walls, windows, and furniture. Bright lights are inappropriate in a cabaret; the party should take place in twilight. Flowers in vases, baskets and simply scattered on tables will help refresh the atmosphere of the evening. Preference should be given to red bouquets. There should be many tables, that is, one common table– this is no longer a cabaret, but a lot of people standing alone – that’s what we need!

What to serve?

A cabaret-style party is an occasion for guests to enjoy delicacies. Caviar, red fish, foie gras, truffles and expensive champagne will surprise guests. But it’s also not necessary to shell out a large amount of money to buy expensive dishes, especially if there are some financial restrictions. You can get by with the usual light snacks, canapés and fruit. For main course – chicken marinated in wine. Place French baguettes and rolls in small baskets. Sweets should also be present on the table: chocolate candies, sorbet, cakes, ice cream.

Musical accompaniment of the evening

Of course, no cabaret-style party can do without the famous cancan dance. Be sure to include it in the playlist and you can do it more than once, the participants will be happy to dance again and again. Otherwise, attention should be paid to famous retro hits - familiar melodies can help you relax and have fun so that the party will be remembered for a long time. You can dilute the fun with the gentle lyrical melodies of French chanson.

As an emotional understanding of cabaret style, eventspro suggests listening to a couple of tracks:

You can entertain guests with the help of competitions, dances and guest actors. Who doesn't know about mimes? For a cabaret party, you can hire several silent clowns (but just remember to warn them about your dress code!), who can greet guests at the entrance and entertain them throughout the evening.

A professional team that will perform the cancan, surprise and entertain the guests, will be an excellent start to the dance competition, and as a result, the best dancer of the evening will be determined.

Unusual entertainment can be obtained if you slightly adapt the well-known “forfeits” to the theme of France. The forfeits themselves need to be collected at the entrance, these can be brooches, gloves, hairpins, and during the party they can be played with the tasks “Dance the cancan”, “Drink a glass of champagne”, “Perform a song in French”.

Today, on-site master classes are very popular, so for a “Cabaret” party you can invite specialists who will teach guests how to make hot chocolate and candies.

A cabaret-style party helps you feel the luxurious atmosphere of the holiday and relax in the best traditions of bohemian France. Enjoy the process of organizing the event, put your soul into every little detail and in the end you will receive unforgettable party, which will be remembered for a long time.

December 16, 2015

If you want to make your holiday truly stylish and extravagant, there is one win-win option - Burlesque party.

Genre: musical, vaudeville, Moulin Rouge - today it is called differently. The style of the mentioned burlesque, as they say, is not sublime-low, but “low-sublime”, where monologues, dialogues, songs and dances have erotic overtones. In order not to get confused and form a picture of vulgarity and vulgarity in your head, let’s go in order...

The 20-30s are the era of burlesque. Bright show productions burst into the life of the USA and Paris, the conversation about which caused blushes among noble ladies and an embarrassed smile among gentlemen. Rumors about frank dancing, daring songs and a lot of entertainment in an atmosphere of sophistication and wealth did not easily awaken uncontrollable curiosity, and literally brought hundreds of connoisseurs of creative leisure, burning with anticipation, literally by the hand. At that time, the so-called criteria of revelation and decency were scrupulously monitored. “Burlesque queens” Josephine Baker and Mae West were literally surrounded by gossip “beyond recognition,” and the latter spent ten days in prison for so-called indecent behavior in society.

By the way, in modern world, there is also a “burlesque queen”: ex-wife scandalous performer Marilyn Manson, Heather Renee Sweet. Many modern professional participants in this art are literally offended by the current stereotypes imposed by the owners of establishments with a dubious reputation. Calling themselves “burlesques” left and right, they offer the viewer a primitive program, mainly consisting of cheap striptease. It’s good that there are sources from which you can get reliable information. And great films, after all!

Already in the 40s, burlesque shows really spread from theaters to nightclubs, where they sometimes sounded like “cabaret shows.” Now the owner of the establishment decided where to “place” the boundaries of decency and whether they were needed at all! Distinctive feature cabaret at that time was considered the creation high standards skills of actors, dancers and all participants entertainment program. Improvisation and deviations from the established script were not allowed. Therefore, when taking on the task of organizing such a show, determine for yourself which years your Burlesque will resemble!

When starting to organize a holiday, your task is to do everything smartly, otherwise the glamor and magical theatrical atmosphere will turn into a poor parody of a cheap strip club. It is important to understand that this requires investing a lot of effort and money, so you won’t be able to save much on such a birthday.

In any case, the integral attributes and elements of the holiday are: wealth, luxury, glamor, chic, beauty, passion, lack of complexes, shamelessness, extravagance.

Graceful hints, subtle humor, play on words, flirting - all this is in the Burlesque style!

1. When is Burlesque appropriate?

Such a party will help to effectively celebrate both a birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party, and New Year or even Halloween.

2. Time.

Invite guests by 20-21.00: this is an all-night party, not a five-hour party. Moreover, preparing the appropriate image will take quite a bit of time - the makeup alone is worth it!

3. Invitations.

If you try hard, the guests will be imbued with the atmosphere of the upcoming party even before the action begins. Take the trouble to create a sizzling invitation! Surely this will help friends create the right image and prepare an unusual speech in the style of the creative intellectuals of the 30s. For example:

« Dear Ostrovskaya Diana!
Legendary show productions from the theatrical and entertainment cabaret "Burlesque" are at your service! The mysterious owner of the world's best show ballet is fascinated by your beauty and invites you to the most shocking opening of your city! Welcome to the world of passion and luxury!
We are waiting for you on December 30, 2015 at 21.00.
Luxurious appearance, a willingness to take initiatives, and this invitation are mandatory conditions for entry to the celebration.
We are looking forward to seeing you.
With uv. Gatsby»

To create your own invitations you will need white, black, red cardboard, gold and red ribbons, feathers and pieces of lace. And then combine and create unique original cards! It is not necessary that they be identical. There are no rules, they are nominal, and that's all that matters.
You can order similar leaflets from a printing house.

4. Images and costumes.

Common to everyone and important. Images should be bright, stylish, attractive, sexy (but not vulgar).

Behavior: non-flashy love for oneself and every element of the surrounding world, balancing eccentricity, emotionality and elegance, restraint.

Aestheticism: ability to hold oneself, correct speech, intonation, beautiful gestures, posture, gait...

Now more specific.

Men. It's easier with men. There are only two options here: gentleman(back then businessmen, politicians, intellectuals and all sorts of creative personalities had a similar appearance) and bandit. For the former, tuxedos, ties, bow ties, vests, top hat, and cane are suitable.

For the latter, black trousers, white T-shirts, suspenders, mafia-style hats, and, if possible, a holster with a weapon, of course not a real one.
For both, such a simple attribute as a cigar is perfect.

Women. Taking into account the fact that women in such institutions were completely various reasons, you have a choice of the “role” you want. Let's get to know each other better:

Spoiled daddy's daughter from a rich family. She, of course, secretly visits such establishments. Dressed relatively modestly, although youth and hormones dictate a short dress and a long lady's cigarette. Nothing complicated: black or gold sequins, a short pencil dress, long beads with small pearls, a bracelet, stiletto sandals. If possible, a black bob or playful curls and a characteristic feather in the hair. The makeup is not very bright (she ran away from home), the eyes can be hidden under beautiful mask with feathers (afraid that someone will recognize her).

By the way, a black bob and a fly over the lip will be appropriate for any look. And also curls, a veil, gloves above the elbow will suit perfectly!

Courtesan girl. Be careful with this image. It suggests more obvious looseness, flirtatiousness, and flirting. If there are overly jealous people present at the holiday, hold your horses, don’t miss this the most important nuance! The costume is open and revealing: a corset that pulls in everything possible to the almost lifeless body, fishnet stockings, large bracelets, stilettos, bright makeup with mother-of-pearl and sparkles. In this image, appearance is 50%. The rest is high-quality acting and femininity!

Girl dancer. A fairly revealing outfit will do: people don’t come to the museum to see sculptures. But a little more modest than the previous image. Corset, knee-length flared skirt, stockings with suspenders, high-heeled shoes.

Girls, you should tease gracefully without provoking, flirt without being intrusive, be sexy without being vulgar. Remember that burlesque actresses are not strippers who hate men, on the contrary, they are the absolute essence of femininity! A man is an object for which the best sides of the feminine essence are revealed, one’s own beauty is demonstrated and the importance of the male contribution to the prosperity of this very beauty is emphasized.

Before preparing the images, invite your friends to watch one or more films on the topic: “Burlesque”, “Lady from Burlesque”, “Blaze”, “Mademoiselle Striptease”, “Chicago Blues”, “The Great Gatsby”...

It would be good if everyone carried the charm of the conversations and behavior of that time throughout the entire evening. After all, in burlesque, manners and style of behavior are important, which are significantly different from modern ones. But we want to create real Burlesque?!

5. Greeting guests.

Warn those invited that entry is by invitation only and for a nominal fee (nervous fiddling with everyone’s pockets will ruin the actor’s improvisation). The greeter can be like an elegant butler, hiding a “revelation” behind the door of a cabaret with his representative appearance, or a courtesan in fishnet stockings, who every now and then glances around the street to see if there are police officers there. He asks if there is an invitation. A suspicious look, absolute seriousness. Asks for a contribution. He hides it in a corset (bra), if it is a man - in a folder. He opens the door, where everything is already in the openwork (music, light, smoke), and without a hint of a smile asks: “Do you like what you see?” After a positive answer, the “butler” changes his face to a wide smile and enthusiastically calls: “Then welcome to the world of entertainment and passion!”

6. Venue.

You can host a similar “party” at home, especially if you have a studio apartment, but the ideal venue would be a private room at a nightclub. There must be at least a small stage. This is important, without it it will not be possible to create the right atmosphere. What about the bright performances, incendiary cancan and caustic jokes from the artists?

7. Decoration of the festive hall.

Pay maximum attention to this part of the organization. A person who probably doesn’t feel very comfortable in a revealing outfit before the party starts should feel at ease as soon as he crosses the threshold of the party hall!

Colors, which you need to give preference to: black, red, white. Also, gold and stripes will fit perfectly.

Decor elements: silk, leather, velvet, boa, lace. All this can become both elements of costumes and part of the interior, a characteristic decoration of the room.

The scene, ideally, should be in red colors. Fortunately, many clubs are fans of the classics, so this attribute is not so hard to find. If you can, make the notorious windmill (as in “Moulin Rouge”). It can be made from polystyrene foam or cardboard, brightly colored and covered with foil, wire covered with silk tape or chipboard (a more expensive option that requires skillful hands). You can make a windmill by laying out the silhouette with garlands on a dark background!

Cover most of the ceiling with black fabric, and place garlands of yellow or white, you get the effect of a starry sky. The fact is that the main lighting will be concentrated on the stage, and the viewer will be in twilight. Therefore, additional, even the described lighting will be more appropriate and effective than ever.

You can decorate your “starry sky” with photographs of guests.
Plumes of smoke: stage and cigarette - everything is appropriate at a party in the Burlesque style!
It would be very useful to place an antique mirror at the entrance. This is possible. Although construction foam and golden paint work wonders: here is an antique frame for the most ordinary mirror! Nearby, not far from the entrance (then there will be twilight), place several posters in the pinup style (standards female beauty of that time) and posters of famous actresses from films about burlesque shows.

It is advisable that there is more than one big one festive table, and several, for 2-4 people (classic). On the tables there are black and red tablecloths, the fabric can be inexpensive, and in the dark it will not be noticeable at all! On each table there are narrow vases containing one red or white rose (can be artificial), or preferably several ostrich and peacock feathers. If the vases do not look presentable, decorate them with lace.
Burlesque implies luxury and chic, so plastic cups and homemade vases are absolutely not suitable.

Complete photo corner. Stretch the fabric to match the entire party and create a mini curtain. Place characteristic attributes: canes, boas, fans, masks, cigars... In the background there is a mill, a heart, a cylinder of lights. You will get great bright photos!

8. Music.

Hits from the previously mentioned films, as well as music tracks suitable for the theme by Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Madonna, Bianca, and the Pussycat Dolls.

9. Dancing.

Will fit organically: passionate Latin, Argentine tango, Balkan tribal.

10. Menu.

Main dishes. You won't be able to save much. In really good cabarets you could enjoy various delicacies, so cold cuts and sandwiches with sprat were not an option. You can choose the option of classic French cuisine (with cheese soup and meat in French), or you don’t have to follow the strict classics. It’s enough to choose “noble” products and think of win-win successful dishes: red fish steaks, stuffed mushrooms, poultry baked with fruit and honey, stewed veal with pineapple, red caviar on a toasted French baguette... Any seafood will be appropriate, especially exotic ones, but be careful with quality and freshness.

Dessert. Ideal options include chocolate mousse, a sundae with your choice of syrups, and pancakes filled with whipped cream and fruit. Order “themed cookies”, they can become the highlight of the holiday table!
It’s unlikely that you’ll organize a beauty jumping out of a cake, but you definitely need to organize the cake itself! If you're already going all out, order a truly impressive burlesque cake.

Beverages. Definitely champagne. Don't skimp on champagne good quality, otherwise guests will have to grimace all evening from excess acidity or cloying. Also, martinis and various liqueurs are suitable for women.

Absinthe was considered a mandatory alcohol at such parties. But this is quite an expensive pleasure. So as not to lose important element To recreate the desired picture, take the trouble to prepare mint vodka.

Here simplest recipe:

Take a bunch of mint (40-50 grams), select beautiful fresh juicy leaves. Rinse them. Glass jar fill it tightly with mint (tamp it down with your hand), pour good quality vodka into it (otherwise the “spell won’t work”), shake it well and put it in a dark place for 3-4 weeks, and then classic version- for two months! As you can see, it’s better to start preparing in advance!

There is also a faster option:

For one liter of vodka, take 7-10 sprigs of mint and juice from one lemon/lime. Place the saucepan with the contents in the refrigerator for 3 days, covering it with a lid. When the vodka has infused and become saturated with the aroma of mint and citrus, add one tablespoon of sugar and leave in the refrigerator for another day. The cool, strong drink is ready!

For light drinkers, provide a green non-alcoholic drink, Tarragon, for example.

The notorious Baileys, by the way, can also be prepared at home, but be sure to do so no later than the day before the event!

11. Entertainment program.

To ensure a significant guarantee of a successful evening, book two or three professional themed acts.
Guests can also prepare rooms if they wish. A song (even if accompanied by a soundtrack), a dance, or a performance in the “standup” style. The latter is very desirable. High-quality acting humor from the stage is what you need! Let's not forget about good magicians.

Competitions.

"Corset". Two couples participate. The girls are pre-dressed with corsets over some underwear or a T-shirt. Men are asked to untie the corset for shortest time. Whoever is first wins.

"Kiss in the Dark" Three or four pairs. They are blindfolded and asked to find their person in the dark and kiss them. Speed ​​is important, you can’t “probe” it. If you get your hands on it, you kiss it. As soon as 3 pairs have been formed (those who didn’t have time can wander around for a long time, bumping into the winners), we open our eyes and evaluate. Surely there will be a “same-sex couple”. The favorites are those who found the original partner; if there are none, those who found someone first.

"Cancan for men"" Everything is clear here. The winner is the one who raised his leg higher and was more accurate in time.

"Guess what". The woman points to an element of her costume, two men must name what it is as quickly as possible. Try to provide elements such as boa, bolero, arctic fox, clips so that these words are challenging. Whoever is last drinks absinthe. The winner gets a kiss, the loser has a good time (he's had a lot of fun, so to speak).

The judge, a girl with red lipstick, leaves a kiss on the winner's cheek. Maximum amount her lip prints determine the absolute winner.

A super prize could be a pack of cigars, a bottle of absinthe for men, an element of good cosmetics (a set of eye shadows, a makeup brush, a French Eau de Toilette), bottles of French wine - for women.

12. Gifts.

Gifts shouldn't be cheap and useful (this is not a Hippie party), they should be expensive and impressive. If it's a birthday, give a gift from the whole team, this will make it more realistic to follow this recommendation.

You can give a man cufflinks, good alcohol, cigars (according to individual preferences), a quality leather belt or a business briefcase.

For a woman - expensive jewelry or gold. A glamorous clutch, shawl, and cosmetics are also suitable.

Important!

Take a lot of photographs, or better yet, hire professional photographer. After all, you will probably be at such a party for the first and last time!

Remember a world where you are Monica, Jessica, Marilyn, and not Katya, Lilya and Tonya. And photographs store not only the picture, but also feelings, smells, sounds, emotions...

The most outrageous party for you!

Making a playlist for a Moulin Rouge-themed party couldn't be easier. After all, the main idea of ​​the holiday is a musical of grandiose proportions. This means that all the soundtracks from the film are bound to be a stunning backdrop for your party. Well, I’ll now name a couple more compositions that will harmoniously (in my opinion) fit into the atmosphere of your holiday.

MUSIC FOR A GATSBY-STYLE PARTY

To begin with, let's talk about the soundtracks from the film. To make your search easier and not force you to Once again rewatch the musical - let's name the most resonant, well-known romantic ballads:

Songs from the musical are good, but they are absolutely not suitable if you include “impromptu dance” in the script of your holiday. For dancing, it is better to take musical material that is similar in spirit, but more rhythmic. For example, compositions by Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Bianca, Liza Minnelli (“Mani-Mani”). And also, be sure to add the elegant, piquant, playful, fiery, truly French music of Offenbach (the glorious “Cancan” belongs to his musical genius). And a few more compositions abstracted from the musical, but typical for a stylized party:

To these tunes, it is best to dance fiery Latin, burn in Argentine tango, beat Balkan tribal, and demonstrate multifaceted acting skills, performing modern jazz, burlesque and sexy RnB.

You can also use these rhythms as a background for a gaming entertainment program. By the way, would you like some ideas on how to organize it in the Moulin Rouge style?

ENTERTAINMENT

Game 1. “Speed ​​matters”	Fun and games for this enchanting musical, truly French evening should be selected depending on the age, composition and “degree of debauchery” of your guests. If you are organizing a holiday for people without complexes and prejudices, and moreover, of the same age, social status and range of interests, entertainment of this type is suitable: Details: 2 corsets with lacing, antique type, timer. Number of participants: at least two couples (2 girls + 2 guys). The essence of the game: Temporarily unlace the corset the girl is wearing. What won't a real man do in a fit of passion? Even a corset is not an obstacle to the desired fruit! However, if among you there are really a lot of “craftsmen”, for whom even an ancient corset, tightened with whalebone up to the shoulder, can complicate the task a little. For example, you can ask the participants in the game to unlace the corset while blindfolded or simply by kissing the girl who is wearing it.
Game 2. “Men’s cancan”	The ancient French dance, even in our jaded age of dominant and overt sexuality, still excites the hearts of many men! An elegant leg, a miniature garter, a radiant smile makes the blood run faster through the veins! But what if the leg is far from miniature and graceful? Even more than that, rough and with increased vegetation? Will it have the same effect? Certainly! True, if there are people willing to take part in the next fun! Props: cabaret dancers' skirts and hats large sizes, music for cancan. Number of participants: all interested males. Essence: Women are members of the jury. Men dance the cancan. The most “French dancer” who will cause a storm of emotions and applause is awarded with kisses from all members of the jury and a medal (can be paper) for the winner.
Game 3. “2 minutes of temptations”	Props: large boxes (or wardrobes, which are in the house). Number of participants: minimum 6 people (3 guys + 3 girls). Rules: Guys hide in closets, or in large boxes from household appliances. Girls, on the other hand, choose the closet that they like best, without knowing who is hiding behind the door. At the command of the presenter: “Timer!”, the girls must enter the closet (or climb into the box) and kiss the guy who hid there. On the command: “Time is up!”, the couples come out of their hiding places. The realization of someone with whom you have just shared a narrow space and a kiss can cause a storm of emotions both among the participants in the game and hooting from the audience in the hall (and this is very useful at a Moulin Rouge-style party).
Game 4. “In the Dark”	Another game that goes off with a bang! in the atmosphere of permissiveness of the Moulin Rouge, among guests warmed by absinthe. Props: eye patches. Number of participants: everyone is interested. Rules: All participants (both boys and girls) wear blindfolds. And the lighting in the room is also dimmed. At the command “start”, the participants begin to walk around the room. The essence of the game is that, without seeing and bumping into each other, boys and girls must kiss. However, in the terms of the competition there is a clause: before kissing the “obstacle” on the route, you can touch the hair (to make sure that in front of you is a representative of the opposite sex).

Game 5. “Card Kiss”	Props: playing card (ace of hearts). Number of participants: equal amount men and women. Rules: All men and women stand in a circle. Their task is to convey playing card by word of mouth. But! The card should not be held with your teeth, but held by sucking in air. That is, the first participant inhales - holds the card, the second - takes the card, also drawing in air, and passes it to the next person. The one who could not hold the card with the power of breathing kisses the next one in the circle and is eliminated from the game.
Game 6. “The Cunning of the Courtesan”	Props: Number of participants: at least two couples (boy + girl). Rules: Girls with garters on their legs sit on chairs. The guys kneel in front of them. At the presenter’s command “Start!”, the guys begin to remove the garters from the girls’ legs with their teeth (without using their hands). Girls, in turn, do not have the right to help. The winner is the one who first copes with such a difficult task. If advanced age, increased shyness or insufficiently close company forces you to hold a party at the Moulin Rouge with more restraint, you can offer guests more “intelligent” entertainment.
	Have you noticed that an integral part of a cabaret dancer’s outfit is a miniature top hat? Invite your guests to quickly decorate such a hat according to their taste and discretion. Props: paper blank - black cylinder, flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons. Essence: All participants are divided into two teams. Each team has the same set of available tools. The task is to quickly assemble an elegant hat in the style of the Moulin Rouge. The winner is determined by voting by the audience (those guests who did not want to participate in the competition).
	Props: screen, bright lamp, hat, sheets with tasks. Rules: Participants take a piece of paper with a task from the hat and go behind the screen. Their task is to show what is written, using only their body, hands, and ingenuity. You can show excerpts on love theme, you can act out your favorite children's fairy tale, you can show animals and birds. Spectators in the hall see only shadows and reflections. The team of participants whose actions allow the audience to quickly determine what is being said wins. This game has several variations, each of which is interesting in its own way. Variation 1. All the girls go behind the screen, but the guys remain in the hall. The guys' task is to find out from the shadow which of the girls is dancing behind the screen. Variation 2. Prepare music and narration for each plot indicated on the leaves in the hat. Let the team of participants show what the narrator will talk about, and let their actions be accompanied by light, recognizable, characteristic music.

	In the midst of various romantic games, we forgot that the popularity of the French cabaret was, after all, brought by the famous musical. Therefore, be sure to organize at least one music competition. You can, for example, play “guess the melody” from the film, or you can hold a casting for the best performer of the role of Celine and her songs. Number of participants: everyone (girls).
	This competition, in principle, echoes the previous one. It differs only in the wider range of participants involved. The point: take a song from a film, and come up with a story for it, play out its plot, show emotions, passion, feelings!
	When a man kisses a lady’s hand, she is thrilled with delight, and everyone around them sighs: “Oh, what a gallant gentleman!” Therefore, the game, according to the rules of which you need to kiss ladies’ hands, is very intelligent. Rules: Participants (man and woman) stand opposite each other. The man’s task is to kiss the lady’s each finger differently. A woman’s task is to respond to every kiss with a passionate, loving monologue.

Increasingly, weddings are the embodiment of the most unexpected and extraordinary ideas. One of these innovations is a celebration in the style of Moulin Rouge. This style makes it possible to recreate the atmosphere of the famous Parisian cabaret, filled with fun, delight and love.

Wedding venue in Moulin Rouge style

Most suitable place for a wedding in the Moulin Rouge style is a restaurant or cafe close to this style. The room should not be brightly lit. The predominant colors in the decor are a combination of red and black. Subdued lighting, flowing drapery on the walls and window openings should create a mysterious, even somewhat intimate atmosphere.

For wedding bouquet you can choose dark red roses and decorate them with black or blue feathers.

Groom's outfit

It is better to choose patent leather shoes, black.

Accessories will help you create the finishing touch:

A small rose securely fastened in a buttonhole looks very harmonious.

The decoration of the hall may include flower arrangements V floor vases, glowing garlands of light bulbs different colors, posters corresponding to the cabaret style, feathers, rhinestones.

To seat guests, it is advisable to use tables round shape with a capacity of 6 to 8 people.

Wedding table decoration

The Moulin Rouge style involves setting the table according to the rules of a fashionable restaurant. Tablecloths and napkins can be white and red, respectively, or vice versa. For decoration, you can place bouquets of white and red roses on the tables. Silver cutlery and beautiful expensive dishes are suitable.

The menu must include French cuisine, cheese, liver pate, cheese, baguettes. They must be served strictly one by one, so it is necessary to have professional waiters, for whom you need to choose clothes that match the style.

We must not forget that at a wedding in the style of Moulin Rouge there should be a lot of red wine, but taking into account the preferences of the Slavs, you can also complement the table setting with bottles of vodka.

A wedding cake

At a Moulin Rouge wedding, the cake should be the main decoration of the wedding table.. Like all other details, it must match the chosen style. To decorate it, you can use satin ribbons, black lace, and bright feathers. The overall color scheme of the cake should be white, red and black.

Entertainment for guests

Before the wedding, the bride can organize a themed bachelorette party for her friends, choosing a cafe or restaurant for it. To make this event unforgettable, it is advisable to invite a toastmaster to host it.

The wedding scenario should be bright and memorable. Required condition– an incendiary cancan performed by professional dancers.

To prevent guests from getting bored, you can organize various competitions, for example, for the most beautiful costume, for the best cancan performance. To create the necessary atmosphere, you should invite a musician who plays the accordion, or an artist who draws cartoons. Such a wedding would not be complete without a toastmaster, because it is he who sets the general mood of the guests.
