What is the purpose of a Table Round?

So, what exactly is the purpose of a Table Round?? It's to have time to interact with guests♡ To be honest, there isn't much time to talk with guests during the reception... So, going around each table to exchange a few words and express gratitude to the guests...＊ The Table Round is a very important time for that♡

From the guests' perspective, it would be disappointing to participate in a wedding and not have even a word with the bride and groom, right...? That makes the Table Round a very valuable performance!♡

When is the right time to do it?

So, when is the right time to have the Table Round?? Generally, many brides do the Table Round in their colored dress after changing their outfit♡

Of course, it can vary depending on the program, so sometimes the Table Round is done before the outfit change, and sometimes it happens toward the end of the reception. This is something to discuss thoroughly with your wedding planner＊ Let's come up with ideas to “keep guests from getting bored”♡

Next, let's introduce various methods for conducting the Table Round! From classic services to recent trends, there are many options! Which one would you like to do?

Method 1: Candle Service

The classic of classics for Table Rounds! The candle service is still popular today♡ If you ask the staff, they can dim the lights slightly in the venue, creating a romantic and fantastical atmosphere＊

After finishing with the guest candles, it's also recommended to ignite the main candle at the end♡ It's a moment when everyone will focus attentively, allowing you to wrap up the Table Round on a high note＊ It would work well to transition into an emotional bride’s letter right afterward◎

Method 2: Photo Round

Recently, Photo Rounds have also been trending♡ Since guests can take photos at each table, it creates a fun and lively atmosphere! Popular props for these shoots are, of course, the always adorable LOVE objects♡

In the case of traditional Japanese weddings, using a single large "寿" (kotobuki) balloon for a photo idea is also wonderful! The bold kanji for "longevity" has a striking presence♡

HAPPY balloons are also recommended♡

Method 3: Fruit Wine Making

A new Table Round performance is... Have you heard of fruit wine making?♡ It involves letting guests choose fruits to put into a bottle, and then the bride and groom pour the alcohol at the end＊

Since guests participate, everyone has fun, and it's exciting because you rarely get to see the moment when the alcohol is made♡ After it's finished, guests can write messages on the bottles or everyone can enjoy drinking the fruit wine together, which is also enjoyable♡

Method 4: Cake Serve

Another cute performance method for the Table Round is presenting mini cakes to guests♡ Ideally, this should be done at a time when guests desire dessert, coordinating with the course meal timings＊ Some brides also go around distributing chocolates or rice crackers!

Method 5: Kagami Biraki

Setting up small barrels of sake on each guest table and dramatically opening them is also a fun performance♡ This is what you call "mini Kagami Biraki"! Decorating the barrels and wooden mallets with flowers makes them pop against the dress or tuxedo＊

Method 6: Beer Serve & Flower Serve

Sometimes the groom serves beer while carrying a beer server, and the bride serves flowers using a basket bouquet, completing the Table Round separately＊ This performance, tailored to meet the needs of male and female guests, is wonderful as it shows understanding of what the guests like♡
