[Wedding] Ranking of Popular Entertainment Acts (21–30)
Balloon-popping showdown22rank/position
Divide into teams according to the number of balloon colors, and prepare a large number of balloons.
Once the game starts, go all out popping the balloons of the opposing teams’ colors.
If your team’s color runs out, you lose.
Loud popping sounds will echo everywhere, so make sure to play in a place where it won’t disturb others.
Recreating the Disney parade23rank/position

♪ Original song – For those who want to plan a wedding surprise – For those who want to plan a wedding surprise
Recreating a Disney parade would surely fill the venue with excitement! If you practice the costumes and dances, that special day will become even more wonderful.
When the bride and groom make their entrance, everyone’s smiles will overflow and unforgettable moments will be born.
Still, preparations might be challenging.
Choosing costumes and music, and choreographing the dances can be tough.
Even so, if it’s a performance everyone can enjoy together with the guests, they’ll surely love it.
It will definitely be the talk of the town even after the party!
Drawing Shiritori24rank/position
Here’s an idea for a party game: playing shiritori using only drawings, without any letters.
Take turns drawing pictures on a single large sheet of paper.
As people keep drawing, it can lead to funny moments where it becomes unclear what the illustration is supposed to be.
Set a time limit and make a rule like “draw your illustration within XX seconds” to get everyone excited.
It’s also fun to start with simple drawings like an apple or an orange and gradually try more difficult ones.
It’s a great activity that brings friends and teammates closer and lets everyone enjoy it together.
When the last drawing is finished, don’t forget to check the answers!
It’s great to be human parody25rank/position
This is a parody of the ending theme “Ningen tte Ii na” from the anime series Manga Nihon Mukashi Banashi (Japanese Folk Tales).
Filming at places meaningful to the bride and groom, such as their memorable spots or alma maters, would likely result in a nostalgic and heartwarming video.
It would be even more fun to create a parody version of the song as the audio.
In that case, be sure to sing it as “Kekkon tte Ii na” (“Marriage Is Great”)!
clay animation26rank/position
It’s an idea that requires considerable patience and time, but it’s sure to be a hit: a celebratory video made with clay animation.
Clay animation is stop-motion animation using clay creations.
You sculpt your subjects in clay and photograph them while moving them little by little.
Why not try making one based on themes like how the bride and groom met? To show just how much effort everyone put in for the couple, it could also be nice to include behind-the-scenes footage and short profiles of the creators.
Surprise Wedding27rank/position
When we tried to start filming, a flash mob began, and it kept growing in number and becoming more extravagant.
The staff dancers perform highly advanced moves that are truly surprising.
It’s a delightful flash mob to watch, with dancers even joining in from among the clapping spectators.
flipbook28rank/position
It’s gone beyond a mere performance and become a true work.
The finished piece might move you to tears even if you don’t know the bride and groom.
A flipbook, carefully handwritten page by page with great care.
If you know the couple well, it could be fun to introduce how they met and their relationship in a humorous way.
Wouldn’t it make a great performance that truly conveys the creator’s feelings?
