2018.11.04 published

Here’s the Perfect Table Round Performance for a Japanese Wedding!

When it comes to table round performances where the newlyweds visit each table during the reception,

✓ Photo round for taking pictures

✓ Making fruit liquor by putting fruits and alcohol in bottles

✓ Balloon pop called balloon spark

✓ Mini-mirror opening by breaking a barrel filled with alcohol

✓ Beer serving while pouring beer

these are all classic options...

This time, I will introduce some unique table round performances that are different from the usual ones＊

This performance is especially recommended for brides having a Japanese-style wedding, so it's a must-check if you're wearing a white kimono or colorful uchikake at your reception♡

Have you heard of the "Omikuji Round"?

The table round performance that’s perfect for a Japanese wedding is called the "Omikuji Round"♡

How it works is,

① The newlyweds visit each table and have each guest draw an omikuji (fortune slip)

② They hand out gifts to those who draw a "Daikichi" (great fortune)

That’s the flow＊

While it’s not commonly seen at weddings, the custom of drawing omikuji to predict fortunes is a familiar culture and tradition for us, making it very Japanese!

It’s a perfect performance for a Japanese wedding♡

Do you create the omikuji, or can you order them?

But here’s one issue. Do you create the omikuji for the Omikuji Round yourselves, or are there places where you can order them?

(Though not many people have done it yet) Upon investigation, I found out that the preparation varies depending on the newlyweds!

This bride reportedly created her omikuji using PowerPoint＊

She made four types of omikuji: three types of "Daikichi" and an original lucky slip with one character taken from both the bride and groom's surnames.

It seems that she gave surprise gifts to two guests who drew the original lucky slip♩

Even guests who did not win a gift would still have a chance to draw "Daikichi," so everyone can be happy with the Omikuji Round♡

This bride is said to have ordered the omikuji from a shop in Nagasaki＊

From these, she included three winning slips labeled groom’s prize, bride’s prize, and couple’s prize!

I want to try the Japanese wedding performance "Omikuji Round"＊

The Omikuji Round is a new wedding performance, but it’s very Japanese and familiar, which is great!

Brides who are having a Japanese wedding should definitely consider doing the Omikuji Round at their reception♡
