I Want Unique Wedding Reception Entertainment...!

The biggest task for a wedding reception is deciding on the "entertainment program."

There are various types of entertainment such as table rounds, dances, message movies, and performances, but many brides seem to struggle with:

"Everything feels ordinary."

"I can't get excited about any of it."

"I can't envision myself doing it."

"I want to include entertainment that guests have never experienced before."

It seems many brides are worried about these issues.

Introducing the Bride-Invented "Treasure Box Entertainment" ♡

One bride, known as marry (@moo.shii.wedding_0222 ♡), came up with an original entertainment idea while grappling with these concerns, and she reported on it!

The entertainment is a guest-participation type called "Treasure Box Entertainment."

☑ Since there will be a costume change before the reception, guests might have a long wait time.

☑ There was a concern that friends from different groups seated at the same table might feel awkward.

This led to the idea of incorporating a rare form of entertainment at the start of the reception that promotes communication among guests.

Although the preparation was challenging and done by trial and error, the "Treasure Box Entertainment" received the best feedback from guests and was thoroughly enjoyed.

What exactly is this entertainment? Let's take a detailed look at the actual reception and report on it.

The Flow of the Unique "Treasure Box Entertainment" ①

One treasure box is placed on each guest table at the reception venue.

These are small antique boxes that at first glance seem like decorative items for the table...

However, there is a padlock with a string of letters attached, and a message card is placed in front of it.

The card placed in front of the BOX reads,

"This treasure box contains the "treasures" of the bride and groom. Please work together as a table to try to open the BOX. ...What? You can’t open it because it’s locked? Don’t worry, you should already have the key! ♡"

In fact, there is a mechanism in the escort cards received at the welcome space before the ceremony.

Each escort card has a uniquely shaped key attached to it.

This is not just a decoration; it is a key item used for the entertainment.

Once guests notice the locked treasure box and read the message, they start buzzing with excitement, saying,

"Wait, is this the key?"

If you look closely at the bottom of the escort card, five pictures are lined up.

At first glance, they seem like simple decorative designs...

However, these marks actually represent the shapes of the keys held by guests at the same table.

Furthermore, each escort card has a letter written on the back.

By arranging the letters according to the order of the key marks, it creates a code to unlock the box!

When everyone works together to solve the puzzle, complete the alphabet code, and open the treasure box…

Inside are handwritten messages for each guest from the bride and groom, along with a plethora of memorable photos ♡

There were even some "black history" type photos included, which sparked great conversations at the high table.

At the bottom of the treasure box, there's another card.

It says, "Thank you for opening the treasure box. The memories contained within this box with all of you are our greatest "treasures."

Although it’s just a brief moment, we hope you enjoy eating, drinking, and laughing, making it a fun time for everyone."

Since it’s essential to collect all the escort cards, it encourages communication among all guests, leading to a sense of unity and achievement.

Additionally, the pictures inside serve as conversation starters among guests.

A mystery-solving game that brings excitement, followed by nostalgic memories that may bring a tear to the eye…

It's a wonderful entertainment that stirs the emotions of the guests! ♡

What if the puzzle isn’t solved?

By the way, for tables that weren’t able to solve the puzzle, a sheet with the decoded message was also prepared.

If a table is struggling for too long, it might be helpful to distribute it at the right moment.

The Key is Actually a Little Gift ♡

The key, which plays an important role in the Treasure Box Entertainment, was actually a "bottle opener."

It was incorporated as a little gift! ♡

Guests were surprised and delighted by the multi-layered surprises involved in the entertainment.

What Items and Costs Are Needed for Treasure Box Entertainment?

The items necessary for this entertainment and their respective costs are as follows.

☑ Treasure Box… ¥800

☑ Padlock… ¥500

☑ Hinge… ¥700

☑ Key… ¥40

With 2,000 yen per table and 40 yen per guest, it can be adequately prepared for under 20,000 yen for receptions with fewer than 100 guests.

However, since the box, hinge, and padlock have individual differences, there were some challenges, such as enlarging the holes for the padlock with a file.

Despite the difficulty of preparation, it seems there is a sense of accomplishment.
