What Should You Do for Wedding Entertainment?

Many soon-to-be brides are thinking about asking guests for entertainment at their weddings, and many are being asked as well. If you've been asked to perform at a wedding for a dear friend or a colleague, you might be wondering what kind of acts would be appropriate. ><

Since it's a special day for someone important, let's make the venue lively with some memorable entertainment! It's also perfectly fine to request specific types of performances from the newlyweds' side.＊

Points for Performing at Weddings or After Parties♩

①Be Careful with the Music You Choose! Avoid songs themed around "heartbreak" or "breaking up". Especially with Western songs, make sure to check the title and lyrics closely to choose something wonderful.♩

②Avoid Inside Jokes as Much as Possible! The reception will have guests such as the newlyweds' parents and company bosses. Jokes that only close friends would understand could dampen the mood, so be cautious. Let's maintain the sense of unity among the attendees! ♩

③Aim for a High Level of Completion! It's common to perform dances or songs as entertainment, but if the execution is lacking, it could create an awkward atmosphere. Make sure to practice thoroughly to energize the venue! ♩

Let's look at actual wedding entertainment videos from receptions or after parties for some inspiration.＊

Entertainment Idea ① Video Letters

Video letters are a quiet and enjoyable form of entertainment for everyone. While they may not be flashy, guests can watch heartwarming footage of the couple's past while eating, making them a perfect fit for entertainment.♩ Stop-motion videos are unique and exciting to watch!

The appeal of videos is that you just have to play the data on the day, so there's no rush involved! The newlyweds are sure to be moved by messages from friends delivered via a sketchbook relay.♡

Videos made from a pet's perspective are very innovative and touching. The warmth of the bride, who has loved her dog like family, shines through. ♩

Entertainment Idea ② Dance

Dance is a classic form of entertainment. Let's create a lively atmosphere in the venue with an upbeat and exciting song! Arashi's "Ai o Sakebe" is becoming a wedding classic! ♡ Although practicing the dance can be tough, the sense of achievement will be worth it. ＊

Here we have a collaboration of a video and dance. The bride, who was a member of the dance club in school, showcases a professional and cute dance. Seeing this might rekindle her partner's love! ♩

Entertainment Idea ③ Singing

If you're good at singing, delivering a performance through song is also wonderful! Choose a well-known song to captivate everyone at the venue. Examples include Miyuki Nakajima's "Ito" and Kaela Kimura's "Butterfly".＊

The duet of Ayaka and Kobukuro's "WINDING ROAD" showcases professional-level talent. Singing with a friend can help ease any embarrassment. Please sing with heartfelt祝福! ♩

Entertainment Idea ④ Flash Mob

Why not gather all your friends to try a trendy flash mob? Although surprises can be difficult to prepare, the bride and groom will definitely be moved! ♩

The sight of coworkers, bosses, and even the groom starting to dance together will reduce the bride to tears. Surprising the newlyweds like this will undoubtedly become a lifelong memory! ♡

Give a Special Entertainment Gift＊

Since it's a wedding for someone special, when you're asked to perform, you want to enjoy yourself and deliver wonderful entertainment. Let's create a moment that will bring happiness to the newlyweds and all the guests alike! ♡
