Types of Table Rounds: Connect, Capture Moments, and Chat with All Guests♡

What Shall We Do During the Table Round? ♡

At the reception, it is customary for the newlyweds to take commemorative photos with guests at each table during the table round.

Until recently, the main event for photo rounds was the candle service, but various types of table rounds using all sorts of items have emerged recently.*

It would be great to have a table round that allows you to take the most treasured and unique photos of yourselves.*

Let me introduce what kinds there are!

Type of Table Round ① Fruit Liquor Making

Recently, the most popular table round is probably 'fruit liquor making.'

The newlyweds bring glass drink dispensers and go around each table, letting guests add different fruits while taking a commemorative photo together.*

The glass dispensers and fruits look vibrant and photograph well! ◎

For the final touch, the newlyweds pour whiskey, brandy, or vodka to complete the fruit liquor! This is perfect for couples who enjoy alcohol! ♡

They can take it home, and when it’s ready to drink, invite guests to their new home to toast with the fruit liquor made during the wedding... that’s the flow!*

Besides strong alcohol, it would be lovely to serve guests some makeshift sangria using red wine, white wine, champagne, or sparkling wine! ♡

If someone has trouble with alcohol, they could make fruit cocktails or fruit punch with soda or orange juice to serve as dessert during the reception.*

Having guests leave messages on the drink dispenser would also be wonderful.

It could become a treasure for a lifetime! ♡

Type of Table Round ② Bread Service

The photo round takes place halfway through the reception. Some newlyweds go around serving bread while guests are still enjoying their meals...

It may seem time-consuming and troublesome, but it allows for good conversations with each guest, making it a lovely time to engage directly with everyone! ♡

Guests might be looking forward to the newlyweds arriving while enjoying their bread, thinking, “I hope the newlyweds come soon! ♩”

If the bread served by the newlyweds has a unique design, it would be even more special!

Type of Table Round ③ Beer Service

Love alcohol!

Working in a beverage company!

A common sight at receptions for couples who love sports is the beer service, where they carry a large beer dispenser like a beer vendor while serving guests beer!

It’s lively and festive! ♩

Type of Table Round ④ Russian Roulette

One bride infused her table round with a playful spirit by hosting a Russian roulette!

While going around each table, she distributed cream puffs, allowing guests to pick one! *

Once everyone had one, they all took a bite at the same time!

Among the delicious cream puffs, there was reportedly one at each table filled with pickled plums, which the newlyweds loved...!

Guests who ended up with the cream puff containing the pickled plum were invited to come forward for a lively entertainment segment using the game 'Black Beard's Bounty.'

When it pops out, it’s adorned with beautiful ribbon tape. Gift prizes were prepared for guests who made the black beard pop out! *

Type of Table Round ⑤ Pose Cards

Photos taken during the photo round can often end up with everyone just doing peace signs or looking stiff if specific poses aren’t requested.

Unless you are a model or a celebrity, very few people can strike a nice pose in front of a crowd.

In such cases, it's good to prepare “pose cards” and go around each table! ♡

When you reach the table, you can have everyone choose one card from several pose cards and strike the pose written on it together!

Typical contents of the pose cards include:

☑ Cavity Pose

☑ Hand Heart

☑ Laura’s “Okay!☆”

☑ Glico

These are standard choices.

Type of Table Round ⑥ Dessert Service

As the guests finish their meals during the reception, some brides serve wedding cake as a greeting while going around each table.

This gives an opportunity to have a leisurely chat, conveying the spirit of hospitality! ♡

Type of Table Round ⑦ Planting Trees

An adorable performance involves having guests gradually add soil or hydroponics to a potted plant being planted. *

It is perfect for a wedding with themes of fertility, abundance, and growth.

Just as this small tree will grow big and spread its trunk, may the ties with everyone and the bond of the family expand rapidly! ♡

Trees like olive or bay trees, which symbolize prosperity and glory, would be even better! ♩

Type of Table Round ⑧ Chatting ♡

One bride enjoyed chatting without any special items or creative performances. *

Although having items or props can be a great conversation starter, having no props might allow for plenty of time for satisfying conversations! *

Please Enjoy a Wonderful Table Round ♩

The reception is almost the only opportunity to take photos with all guests!

In group photos, individuals may appear too small, and not everyone can come to the high stage to take two-shots.

If you miss the chance for a table round, the only other time you can talk to each guest might be at the farewell.

During that time, you probably won’t have enough time to take photos every time, so the moment to take pictures with guests might only be during the table round! The time to express your gratitude might also be limited to this moment, aside from at the end!

So take it seriously and enjoy a wonderful time! ♡
