There are times when you’re asked to put on a performance or plan some entertainment for a wedding, a company dinner, or year-end and New Year parties—and it can be hard to figure out what to do.

Maybe you’ve ended up doing it alone with no one to consult, or you’re just not comfortable performing in front of people to begin with.

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of classic and recommended ideas for entertainment, dances, and skits especially for women dealing with these worries.

Choose something that feels manageable for you, based on the number of participants and the members attending.

If you set aside your embarrassment and give it your all, you’re sure to liven up the event!

[For Women] Recommended Party Entertainment, Games, and Performances (51–60)

Surprise dance

Gukki♪ Wedding Reception Performance
Surprise dance

It takes some effort to practice, but I think having people dance right in front of you will really hype things up.

The song is bright, too, so the whole venue will likely light up and get excited.

Coordinating everyone’s outfits and hair makes it even cuter, so I highly recommend it.

Sketchbook Relay

[PV-style] Wedding Reception Performance Video Letter: “A Bouquet with Love”
Sketchbook Relay

If we secretly made this without telling the bride, I think she would be really surprised.

The way this video is presented is stylish and very current.

If anyone is good at making videos like this, I’d love for them to create it.

I think it would be especially nice if the bride’s father and mother appeared as a surprise.

If there will be lots of women and children, they’ll likely enjoy an activity where they can take home cute souvenirs.

In that case, balloon art is highly recommended! You can make all sorts of things—animals, flowers, and even popular characters—so it’s perfect as a take-home gift.

It might be a bit scary at first since the balloons feel like they might pop, but practice well until the day and you’ll get used to it.

It’s a performance that people can enjoy watching from the making process itself.

Hige Dance

A beard dance as entertainment? That might surprise you, but it’s a huge hit with every generation! With simple moves and a funny costume, it’s easy to prepare.

It’s guaranteed to liven up weddings and company parties! Even if you’re not confident with rhythm, no problem.

When everyone dances together, it turns into a wonderful time full of smiles.

With the Beard Dance, even shy people can enjoy themselves easily.

If you’re planning a surprise, definitely try adding this dance.

It’ll surely become a fun memory!

Pose Matching Game

It’s a game with a vibe you don’t get from old-fashioned entertainment.

It seems like everyone at the venue can get excited together, and it’ll likely win over the hearts of the kids, too.

If you’re looking for something fresh for your entertainment segment, this is a great choice.

It doesn’t seem too hard to prepare, so it’s also recommended for those short on time.

La La Land style

At a video production company, we turned a wedding reception performance into a La La Land-style surprise!

If the bride and groom are La La Land fans, I’m sure they’ll love it.

Parodies are very popular at weddings, but hiring a professional can be expensive, so if friends make one, it won’t cost much and it’ll feel especially meaningful.

It’s upbeat and makes things more fun.

Live-action Disney?

If your wedding has many child guests or many Disney fans, I’m sure this piece will be a hit.

Just when you think it ends within the movie, they also appear in the venue, which is a delightful surprise and a crowd-pleasing touch.

Love Dance

A popular choice for party entertainment is the “Koi Dance.” Moving your body to Gen Hoshino’s catchy song instantly fills the venue with a bubbly, upbeat vibe! This dance features charming, feminine moves that naturally make viewers smile.

Before you know it, other guests might jump in and start dancing too! The steps aren’t complicated, so preparation is easy.

If you check some videos beforehand, last-minute practice will go smoothly.

It’s especially great when danced in a group of women—the sense of camaraderie grows and the unity is unbeatable! If you’re unsure what to pick, be sure to put the Koi Dance on your shortlist.

rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling)

When it comes to overlooked options for party acts, how about rakugo? There are many active female rakugo performers nowadays, and plenty of reference videos, so I think it’s something you can try.

In particular, rakugo stories are already set, so there’s no need to write a script.

This video is of the classic rakugo piece “Kaen Daiko” (The Flame Drum), in which Jinbei, a cheerful, easygoing, and not-so-skilled antique dealer, ends up selling a shabby drum he purchased for a surprisingly high price.

It’s funny to watch him flustered by the unexpected offer of a large sum of money.

If you’re a woman, trying a more seductive rakugo piece could really liven things up, too.

Foot Reflexology Endurance Contest

How about a participatory game that’s relaxing too: the Foot Reflexology Endurance Challenge? Foot massage can be painful, but it’s good for your body.

You might imagine yourself blurting out “Ouch!”, but in this game you must not say “Ouch!” Whoever says it loses.

How about this new twist that lets you have fun while tuning up your body? It might end up being a hit with everyone who’s usually tired.
