2020.04.12 published

What are some unique wedding performances that guests will find refreshing?

Many couples planning their weddings likely want to incorporate at least one unique performance that their guests have never experienced before.

For guests who have attended weddings multiple times, it's easy to predict what will happen next, thinking, "Is it going to be this or that?"

While traditional performances are wonderful, you'd likely want to prepare something distinctive that makes guests say, "I've never seen anything like this before!"

In this article, we introduce unusual wedding performances that editor Keiko from marry, who has attended over 10 weddings, found to be "unseen and rare!"

This may serve as inspiration when thinking about original performances ♩

Uncommon and Good! Unique wedding performance ①

A reply postcard for invitations with the question, "How would you express the bride and groom in one kanji character?"

The answers collected from guests are handwritten and displayed in the seating chart. Guests will be surprised and delighted to see their own writings in the seating chart distributed at the wedding. (Swipe through the images to see it ♩)

Looking at the kanji characters everyone chose reveals the personalities of the couple.

This is a reply postcard from the paper item shop 'Nespa DD,' which can also incorporate written characters!

A couple who set up a message board corner in the welcome space for guests to write messages. Guests wrote messages on stickers and placed them on a pre-wedding panel... but with a twist in the content of the messages.

They created messages using a "vowel poem" with both of their names.

There were humorous responses and heartfelt ones, making it a great performance worth doing.

A unique aisle runner that is one-of-a-kind. The typical approach is to print photos or write stylish phrases in English on fabric, but...

This aisle runner was made from messages written by guests. In the welcome space, guests freely wrote messages to create an original aisle runner.

It was laid out by child guests. A ceremony created together with the guests is truly wonderful ♡

A bride incorporated a beautiful performance that felt like family bonds into her wedding. They held a "Dozen Roses Ceremony," delivering 12 roses to guests, with the last two being given to the mothers of each family.

After receiving the roses from their mothers, the mothers read letters addressed to the couple.

Both the mothers and the couple were in tears.

While there are performances where the couple delivers messages to the family (like brides’ letters), there is no dedicated opportunity for the family to express their feelings towards the couple.

This performance is perfect for those who want to express gratitude to their families without sticking to formalities.

By the way, to prevent large differences in the length of the letters, each mother was given stationery in advance.

The final sentence of the letters was requested to end in a way that posed a question to the couple.

In response to that question, the couple vows their marriage.

Guests will likely witness this familial bond with tears in their eyes.

Next, we present an idea for brides who want to replicate a shower performance after the ceremony ♡

It involves secretly preparing messages under a paper cup filled with flower or star showers.

This bride put "Great Luck" stickers on all the cups like a fortune slip.

Each cup has different great fortunes, making it fun ♡ It seems enjoyable to think about what kind of messages to write.

A Q&A about the couple could also be interesting.

From here, let’s introduce several performances related to the wedding cake.

First, an idea where two niece's of the couple finished decorating the wedding cake!

The couple brought out a plain white cake without any toppings on a cart and decorated it with the groom in front of the guests.

Next, we introduce a surprising performance where the first bite is done in "two-person wear"! The bride delivers a spoon loaded with cake to the groom's mouth.

"More to the right! No, left!" The guests got highly excited. Getting cake smeared on their faces is all in good fun ♡

It’s indeed a joint effort where two become one. Guests have probably never seen such an unusual two-person first bite performance before.

Next, we present an arrangement of the thanks bite performance. Normally, the thanks bite involves the couple feeding cake to those they want to thank…

In this case, the couple called in all four of their siblings to line up and simultaneously perform a thanks bite! Everyone feeds cake to the person next to them and eats from the person on their left.

A performance showing the siblings in sync with their "Ah~n" ♩
