"Three Guest Participation Ideas for Your Reception That You'll Definitely Be Glad You Tried♡"
2018.05.03 published
What are some interesting guest participation performances?
To enliven the reception, the newlyweds on the host side will research, think, and prepare various performances,
but in the end, the ones that are the most enjoyable and make you think "I'm glad we did it" are definitely guest participation performances ♡
In this article,
✓ focusing on performances that are quite rare for guests to experience
✓ and that generate natural laughter in the venue,
we will introduce three recommended performances for all brides*
Recommended Performance #1: Present Relay
As the name suggests, the Present Relay is a game where multiple gifts prepared by the newlyweds are passed around among the guests in a relay style*
Each gift comes with a prompt like "Pass it to someone who seems interesting" or "Pass it to someone who looks athletic,"
and the person who receives it walks around the venue according to the prompt and keeps passing it on to the next person♡
Since there’s a chance for all guests to receive a gift until the end (it keeps going around), it’s exciting and nerve-wracking ♡
Preparing cute gift boxes also adds the charm of being able to capture lovely photos♩
Recommended Performance #2: Table Interview
The Table Interview is a performance where the MC (the newlyweds can also do this) goes around to each table and interviews guests about the newlyweds*
For guests, it’s a rare opportunity to be interviewed, so they might feel a little nervous, but
the newlyweds might bring up old stories or funny anecdotes that they don’t even remember, and the atmosphere in the venue gets lively♡
However, if you're selecting guests randomly, it’s best to ask simple questions that anyone can answer*
Questions like "What is your best memory with the groom (bride)?" or "What was your first impression?"—when creating a question list, be careful not to make the questions too difficult♩
Of course, deciding in advance which guests to ask (and informing them) is also a good idea.
Recommended Performance #3: Caricature Contest
Finally, the last one we will introduce is the caricature contest of the newlyweds*
While the main couple is away for a outfit change, guests at each table will draw illustrations of the newlyweds♩
Then, when the newlyweds re-enter, they will choose the drawing they think resembles them the most, and that table’s guests will be the winners♡
You might discover surprisingly artistic people, or some might draw in a silly way, creating a time filled with laughter in the venue*
Please give these a try at the reception*
The Present Relay, Table Interview, and Caricature Contest are unique and incredibly fun, smile-inducing guest participation performances♡
These performances will leave a lasting impression on the guests, so be sure to try them at your reception*
