☑ It creates a warm atmosphere filled with smiles
There are many charms to this performance.
It’s perfect for those who love a lively party vibe at weddings.
Since there are still few couples in Japan who have done a Spider Shower, it will be a fresh and exciting experience for the guests.
What Do You Need for the Spider Shower?
There are two ways to carry out the Spider Shower.
The first method is to request the venue. If the venue can perform the Spider Shower, they will prepare the necessary items for you.
The second method is to bring your own supplies. You can purchase large crackers that release paper streamers.
Small ones are sold for around 300 yen, while larger ones are available for around 2000 yen.
Preparing several large crackers for a big shower, along with many small crackers, can create a more glamorous Spider Shower with plenty of guest participation.
Wrapping the cracker package in simple wrapping paper adds a stylish touch. ♩

What is the Flow of the Spider Shower?
The Spider Shower is performed by having guests launch crackers.
The following is the flow:
① Hand out crackers to the guests
② The host explains when to launch
➂ Guests are encouraged to count down and launch!
Some brides have prepared several large crackers and surprised guests by choosing them on the day.

After the ceremony, the Spider Shower during the scene where the couple walks down the aisle is also fun! ♩
