"10 Types of Table Rounds: Guest Reception Ideas to Thank Everyone at Your Wedding"

I Want to Talk to All of My Guests at the Reception!

A wedding reception is the happiest party in the world. The guests who participate are all important people who genuinely rejoice in your marriage! ♡

It’s wonderful to have so many guests attending. However, there is a problem...

The more guests there are, the less time the newlyweds at the head table have to talk to each one individually. There can even be a line waiting to talk to the head table during the conversation time!

Is there a way to have a conversation with all of the guests and have fun together??

The Table Round Performance is Recommended ♩

There is a performance that can solve such concerns! That is the [Table Round] ♡ It is a performance where the newlyweds move to each guest table, creating time to spend with all the guests! ＊

The Table Round performance is famous for events like the "Candle Service." However, there are many other wonderful ideas! ♡

What kind of Table Rounds did the experienced brides enjoy? ♩ Here are 10 wonderful Table Round performance ideas!

Table Round Idea ♩① Photo Round

The photo round involves taking pictures with guests while going around! You can take lovely pictures at each table. ＊

It’s common to prepare a "pose card" to specify poses for the photo round. One guest can draw a pose.

This way, you can avoid taking only the same pose and have a lot of fun looking back at the photos! ♩

Some brides who did a photo round even asked a sibling to be the "camera person," taking photos with guests' smartphones or cameras in addition to the venue's photographer! ♡ This way, guests can have data left on their devices too! ＊

Table Round Idea ♩② Fruit Wine Making

A particularly popular Table Round performance recently is fruit wine making. The newlyweds go around to the guest tables with a bottle, and guests add fruit to the bottle.

The newlyweds then pour liquor into the bottle filled with fruit, completing the fruit wine! ♡ The fruit wine made with all guests can be enjoyed after the wedding at your new home! ＊ Please refer to this article for more details! ♩

Brides who are not fond of alcohol or fruit might want to try pickle making! ♡ The process is the same as fruit wine making; collect vegetables in a bottle and then pour the marinade made from vinegar and water to complete it! ♩

Table Round Idea ♩③ Flower Service

Flower service is a table round where the newlyweds hand flowers to each guest. The flowers can be a single stem, a small bouquet, or even a potted plant. You can have conversations with guests while handing out flowers! ♡

Finally, like the candle service, use a larger object for the finale! ♡ It’s a romantic table round where you can see the surprised and joyful faces of your guests up close.

Table Round Idea ♩⑤ Balloon Spark

Balloon Spark is a performance where small colorful balloons are placed inside a large clear balloon, and the large balloon is popped to let the smaller balloons fly out! ＊

Place balloons on each guest table and have the newlyweds pop them! ♡ It’s a very flashy and energetic performance! ♩

Table Round Idea ♩⑥ Kagami Biraki

Kagami Biraki is a traditional performance in Japanese weddings. The newlyweds swing a mallet to break the lid of a sake barrel to the cheers of the guests!

Did you know there is a mini size of the barrel for table round? ♡

Place a small barrel on each guest table and break them one by one! ♡ Let guests cheer and have fun together! You can pass out masu (sake measuring cups) and pour sake from the barrel for guests as well! ◎

Table Round Idea ♩⑦ Beer Serve

Beer serve is also a popular performance during the entrance after a change of attire! ♡ The groom appears with a large beer server strapped on his back like a backpack.

Pour beer for each guest while deepening connections! ♡ The bride can also pass around snacks or side dishes, which is recommended! ♩

It sounds exciting to show up wearing the uniform of a favorite baseball team!

Table Round Idea ♩⑧ Message Bottle

During wait times, have all guests write messages to the newlyweds on notes and put them in a bottle during the table round. ♩ A bottle filled with messages from guests will surely become a treasure for the couple! ♡

Table Round Idea ♩⑨ Cake Cutting

Cake cutting is usually done in front of all guests with a large wedding cake. However, one bride had the idea of having guests decorate their own individual cakes, which were then cut at each table!

This delightful performance lets guests enjoy decorating cakes while also being able to see the newlyweds' cake cutting up close! ♡
