I Want to Incorporate Guest Participation in the Ceremony!

Wedding performances can be broadly divided into three types.

① Performances only: live music, fireworks, etc.

② Performances involving the bride and groom: cake cutting, engagement cover ceremony, etc.

③ Guest participation performances: balloon releases, fruit liquor making, etc.

All types of performances are highly popular, and it’s possible to include multiple performances in one wedding...

However, the most popular by far is definitely “guest participation performances” ♩

Guest participation performances allow all attending guests to enjoy and create lasting memories through participation rather than merely watching the ceremony＊

It also helps foster a sense of unity between the bride and groom, guests, and the venue ♡

What Are the Secrets to Successful Participation Performances?

Next, we will introduce some “tips” for making guest participation performances successful＊

There are three key points for a successful guest participation performance.

① Provide thorough explanations of the performances: Create instruction sheets or have the MC announce the purpose and method of the performance to help guests understand＊

② Engage lively friends at the center: It’s recommended to have enthusiastic, fun-loving friends lead the way or participate early in the performance♩ Their energy can help create a lively atmosphere in the venue♡

③ Encourage participation from relatives and supervisors: Even with fully participatory performances, relatives and supervisors may hold back. Ask the staff to encourage them to enjoy and participate in the events as well ♩
