Wedding Ideas Are Endless ♡

A wedding and reception that happens once in a lifetime. Recently, what couples value most is "being true to themselves" and "hospitality for their guests."

To express themselves and to provide joy to their guests. With the ideas from brides, unique and free-spirited performances are continuously being created.

In this article, I, Keiko from the Marry editorial team, who has attended over ten weddings, will introduce some rare and wonderful ideas that make you want to hit the "like" button.

For brides-to-be gathering wedding ideas, please use this as a reference.

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ①

The first idea I’d like to introduce is related to the invitations. It’s the idea of enclosing a photo of your memories together with the invitation sent to your friends ♩

I have received many wedding invitations, but I have never received one with a photo included…! Because it’s rare, guests will surely be surprised and moved when they receive it.

A handwritten comment is also wonderful. This is an idea that I hope brides-to-be who have time before the wedding will try to replicate.

Next is another idea related to invitations. Guests wrote messages on RSVP postcards, which were then attached to ribbons and displayed like a garland in the welcome space!

The idea was born from the bride's desire to "make use of the messages that guests took the time to write."

Guests can spend their waiting time until the ceremony or reception looking at heartwarming messages and wonderful illustrations.

It seems they display the messages indicating that they will be used for decoration＊

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ③

This idea has guests write message cards during their wait time, which are then displayed in the venue.

They prepared Polaroids, colored pens, masking tape, stickers, etc., allowing guests to freely decorate their cards ♡

Long wait times can be enjoyable, and the venue will surely look more vibrant ♩ You can even use these decorations for the after-party.

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ④

Next is an idea for family introductions. It's typical for family introductions to be conducted solemnly by a representative or the MC before the ceremony.

However, this couple introduced their family members in their own words. With this style, you can convey not just names and relationships but also personalities and their significance to you.

For couples who want a free-spirited wedding that reflects themselves, why not try a more homey approach to family introductions?＊

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ⑤

Surrounded by guests, the bride holds a large pink heart cushion ♡ This is said to be a scene from the "Cushion Pass" performance.

In the "Cushion Pass," the groom throws a cushion to guests, who then pass it on to each other until the bride finally catches it.

The guest who receives the cushion announces a congratulatory message ♡ Everyone excitedly passes the cushion, wondering “Who will catch it next?” This is a guest-participation performance ♩

They even recorded this moment on video to be played as the end roll of the day. The sight of heart cushions bouncing through the air must have been adorable ♡

The video of the "Cushion Pass," filled with guests’ congratulatory comments, will surely become a treasure for the couple.

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ⑥

This is a creative take on the dozen roses ceremony. The dozen roses ceremony, where the groom collects one rose from each guest to present to the bride, has been gaining popularity.

Attention to the groom and guests! The groom collected not fresh roses but giant flowers made of paper. It’s the first time I've seen a dozen roses ceremony done with giant flowers!

Many guests must be seeing giant flowers and the dozen roses ceremony for the first time. The surprise will be doubled ♡

Using large giant flowers allowed distant guests to easily see what was happening, which was a great benefit◎

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ⑦

Next, I’m introducing a surprise performance that happened after the reception started. The idea is to place lucky cards under the plates, and guests who reveal the card will be asked to give a speech ♩

Lifting the plate must have been thrilling and enjoyable!♡

Some brides even placed lucky stickers under dessert plates, giving surprise gifts to those who found the stickers ♡

This is an idea to incorporate when you want certain guests to participate in the performance or when you want to gift something to a guest. It seems like it would be more fun than simply announcing it＊

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ⑨

Next, I'm introducing a surprise performance orchestrated by the groom and guests for the bride ♡

When the bride made her entrance for the outfit change, the curtain in front opened to reveal an unbelievable sight! All the guests were waiting with roses in hand.

The sight of all 140 guests holding up roses is breathtaking. It creates a scene that one will never forget. If you're thinking of a surprise for a wedding, why not try this one?＊

Wonderful Wedding/Reception Performance Idea ⑩

Finally, the last idea is a collaborative performance that reflects traditional Japanese weddings. Instead of a colored drip on a wedding cake, it's a " Mitarashi Dango Drip"!

The couple pours sauce over a tower of Mitarashi Dango they’ve stacked together. After pouring the sauce, they can even feed each other, like in the first bite ♩

This is a rare performance that you hardly see on social media, so guests will surely be surprised. This is a recommended performance for couples wearing hakama or colorful kimonos at the reception＊
