"Beloved Showa-Era Toys: A Collection of Adorable Wedding Performances Featuring Retro Gachapon"

Toys Everyone Knows: Gachapon*

Gachapon toys lined up in department stores or train stations are something everyone has played with at least once during their childhood!

The excitement of not knowing what you'll get when you turn the crank for about 200 to 500 yen is wonderful, isn't it? ♡

Recently, the "Cup's Edge" and “Dogeza” series have been trending, and the term “adult gachapon” has also gained popularity! ♩

Using gachapon, which everyone from young to old knows, as a wedding performance would definitely be a unique and fun touch!

In this article, we will introduce some gachapon-inspired performances found on Instagram!*

Gachapon Performance Idea ①

The first idea is to place a gachapon machine in the welcome space or waiting area! This is what you call a welcome gachapon!*

If you fill the capsules with candies or cookies, it makes for wonderful hospitality as guests can have a treat right away! ♡

It not only makes the waiting time before the reception enjoyable but also brightens up the atmosphere around the reception desk, which is delightful!

Gachapon Performance Idea ②

The next idea is to have all guests turn the gachapon machine to randomly select someone to receive a gift!*

You can put papers with numbers inside the capsules, but to make it more fun, adding character keychains or small figures would surely delight everyone!

By the way, decorating the gachapon itself with a WELCOME garland or photos can increase its originality and cuteness! ♡

Gachapon Performance Idea ③

Finally, the last idea is for the couple to pull from the gachapon machine during the reception and ask the guests whose names come out to give a welcome speech! This will definitely be an exciting and thrilling experience for the guests!*

Besides asking for speeches, you can also use the gachapon to select participants for after-party games or winners for dress color guessing quizzes, making it even more lively! ♩
