Popular Game Presentation: Ideas for Gift Relay Themes and Prize List ♡

Popular Game Presentation: "Present Relay" *
The Present Relay is a guest-participation-style game performance popular at weddings and after-parties *
① The bride and groom prepare multiple presents
② For each present, write prompts such as "Please pass to someone who seems to have good athletic skills" or "Please pass to someone who seems to like alcohol"
③ A guest who receives a present goes around the venue and passes the next present to someone else
This is a relay-style performance ♡
The Challenge is the Prompts *
The excitement of "Who will it be passed to?" and "What prompt will come next?" makes the Present Relay a thrilling experience that energizes the venue. However, what the bride and groom grapple with is creating prompts and selecting gifts...!
Since typically 4 to 6 people participate in the relay, the prompts need to be crafted so that it’s unlikely for the same age group or type to be chosen (there should be a fair chance for everyone to partake) and each present needs thoughtful consideration *
I've come up with a list of prompt ideas as a reference.
List of Prompts for the Present Relay
✓ Someone who seems good at cooking
✓ Someone who seems strong with alcohol
✓ Someone who seems weak with alcohol

To ensure that both genders are evenly represented, it’s also recommended to phrase the prompts as "○○ male" or "○○ female" instead of just "○○ person" *
It Might Be Fun to Choose Presents Related to the Prompts ♡
Additionally, if the prizes for the Present Relay are chosen based on the prompts, it creates a meaningful connection and enhances the fun ♩
For example...
For someone who seems strong with alcohol, consider beer vouchers
For someone with stylish footwear, perhaps socks
For someone who surprisingly seems to have a sweet tooth, gift cards for places like Baskin-Robbins or Häagen-Dazs
For someone who seems to frequent cafes, a Starbucks card
For someone who seems to love travel, consider travel vouchers from HIS or JTB
For someone who seems good at cooking, a set of seasonings
How about turning the prompts into associated prizes?
The budget seems to average around 1,000 yen *
