After-party surprises: Heartwarming surprise ideas (11–20)
Surprise appearance
This is a video where Dozan Miki makes a surprise appearance at a wedding after-party.
I think it’s a wonderful surprise that lets everyone share in the happiness, along with the fulfilling feeling of having a big-name artist come to your own wedding.
It may take a bit of effort, but I felt it’s the kind of surprise that delivers that much more amazement and joy.
Dance performance
This is a surprise video where the cameraman suddenly starts dancing and a flash mob begins.
Though the group is small, the quality is impressive—the performance features not only dance but also clever use of props, making it a standout act.
It captures the unique thrill of a surprise that draws in the audience and lets you share in the excitement.
Domino-making video
This is a video of 12,000 dominos that took a total of 113 hours to create.
It starts with setting up the dominos, includes the inevitable (?) mishaps, and ends with everyone’s hard work paying off as they topple the dominos to reveal a message.
The time is impressive, but the effort from everyone is even more remarkable.
PythagoraSwitch Surprise
This is a surprise video, inspired by PythagoraSwitch, that was shown at the wedding after-party.
By playing a pre-recorded video, it’s less likely the bride and groom will notice in advance, and it creates a strong impact.
The key point is that by imitating PythagoraSwitch, it becomes easy to convey to the audience what you want to communicate.
flash mob
This is a surprise video where the guests perform a flash mob.
Since the participants dance, you can feel how deeply moved the bride and groom will be, thinking the guests even practiced just for them.
Also, seeing the dancers looking so happy makes us feel warm and fuzzy as well.
Flash mob surprise
This is a surprise video where, during filming at a wedding after-party, people suddenly start dancing.
As more and more people join in, the precision increases, and the group of dancers delivers an amazing performance.
Meanwhile, the audience’s reactions are very entertaining—they’re surprised by the sudden start of the dance, yet they become captivated and even start clapping along.

After-party DVD filming
It’s a surprise video that starts as if it’s a group photo, then turns into a flash mob.
The wonderfully polished dancing by both the dancers and the audience is moving, but the moment when the groom lifts the bride in a princess carry while confetti is tossed around them is especially romantic and, I think, universally captivating.
