Introducing Some Unique Performances

When you attend a wedding and see performances other than the typical bouquet toss or cake cutting, it leaves a lasting impression like "Wow," "Did they come up with this idea themselves?" or "This suits **XX-chan** perfectly!"

That said, coming up with your own ideas from scratch can be challenging...!

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce some performances that you might think are "rare!"

Let's take inspiration from these ideas and arrange them in our own unique ways!

Unique Wedding Performance 1: Tasting Game

A "Tasting Game" conceived by the bride and groom who are both pastry chefs. The game involves guests guessing the variety of strawberries.

If you enjoy alcoholic beverages, you could apply this idea to wine or beer tasting, or guessing coffee bean varieties by their aroma—there are many ways to adapt this idea!

You can involve all guests, or have representatives from each table challenge themselves to participate and create excitement!

Unique Wedding Performance 2: Umaibo Color Dress Quiz

In this color dress quiz, guests choose an umaibo (a Japanese puffed corn snack) that they think matches the dress color.

The umaibo should be kept safe until the couple re-enters, at which point those holding an umaibo that matches the color of the dress will receive a present!

Besides umaibo, you could also prepare items like Peko-chan's pop candy, Pure gummy, bubble gum, or colored konpeito (sugar candy)—that sounds good too!

Even if someone guesses wrong, they still get some snacks, so nobody will be left disappointed!

Unique Wedding Performance 3: Chocolate Breaking Ceremony

"I want to do a breaking ceremony with traditional attire! But there are guests who can't drink, so I'm a bit hesitant about using alcohol..."—this is the thought process of a bride who devised a performance involving placing "block chocolate" inside a large barrel.

It seems they also mixed in kiss chocolates with photos of the couple!

While breaking ceremonies are traditionally associated with alcohol, it's memorable and interesting to introduce non-alcoholic items as well!

Unique Wedding Performance 4: Five Yen Coin as Petite Gift

A bride prepared five yen coins issued in the birth year of her guests as petite gifts! She threaded red string through the coins and handed them out with the wish, "May we have continued ties in the future!"

It must have been challenging to collect enough five yen coins depending on the birth years, but getting a coin from the year they were born seems auspicious!

Presenting a shiny five yen coin from the year of the wedding would also be nice—it holds value beyond just five yen.

Unique Wedding Performance 5: Handing Out Letters During Table Rounds

During the table rounds, a bride handed out letters and handmade teddy bears to each guest.

There are various ways to express gratitude through messages written on the back of place cards or displaying wall letters in the welcome area, but "handing them directly" to convey thanks adds a special touch!

Unique Wedding Performance 6: Enishi no Chigiri

A bride who incorporated "Enishi no Chigiri" (the bond of fate) into her traditional Japanese ceremony.

Enishi no Chigiri involves the bride and groom tying a red string around each other's pinky fingers to symbolize the "red thread of fate." This performance can be adapted to both traditional and western attire!
