Party favors that liven up weddings and receptions (1–10)
ukulele
Many people are probably wondering, “I want to play an instrument as entertainment at the wedding reception, but if I start practicing now, I won’t make it in time!” For those people, I recommend the ukulele.
Of course, mastering it is difficult, but the ukulele only has four strings and the chords are easy to hold, so even beginners can smoothly handle simple accompaniment for singing.
Confetti
Confetti refers to paper confetti.
When sending off the bride and groom, rice showers and flower showers are common, but confetti creates an even more glamorous effect.
You can use many colors, add glitter, and enjoy coordinating the look.
It’s convenient because ready-made products are available.
tambourine
At wedding receptions, it’s standard to sing or play music as entertainment.
That’s when a tambourine can really shine.
It would be a bit sad if one person had to keep playing it the whole time, so just place it unobtrusively near the stage.
That way, everyone will end up using it!

Honeycomb ball
Recently popular as wedding decorations are these honeycomb balls.
“Honeycomb” means a hexagonal, beehive-like pattern—it doesn’t mean “smiling”! This video explains how to make honeycomb balls.
It’s great to follow along and DIY, but if you’re short on time before the wedding, buying ready-made ones is also a good option.
Balloon cracker
It’s similar to a classic party popper, but when you pop it, the outer balloon bursts and an inner balloon pops out, creating a super cute visual effect! It gives off even more of a celebratory vibe than a regular party popper, so I highly recommend it!
Balloon Spark
People who’ve attended wedding receptions a few times will know this classic, but the festive feel is still great, isn’t it? It’s the kind of item that seems sure to draw cheers and big applause from the crowd.
Doing a balloon spark instead of the traditional wedding cake cutting could be a nice idea, too.
photo props
Photo props are small accessories used for taking pictures.
Attach items like messages written on thin sticks or pieces shaped like characters, hold them in your hand, and your shots are sure to be Instagram-worthy.
Ask the bride and groom to join in during the reception and capture some fun, memorable photos.
