Party favors that liven up weddings and receptions (1–10)
Event Lottery
How about this item for anyone who’s been asked to perform a skit or entertainment at a wedding or reception? Have the guests or the bride and groom draw lots and carry out whatever is written.
You can come up with your own prompts, or use ones that are perfect for weddings.
candle
The candle-lighting ceremony is an essential part of weddings.
These days there are so many different kinds of candles that it’s hard to decide how to set the scene! Lining up large candles would make a striking impact, and intricately decorated ones are lovely too!
Tape shower
This is a classic way to celebrate, too! A tape shower is a lot of fun both for those throwing it and those getting showered with it.
The moment when lots of streamers rain down is really beautiful and quite a sight to see.
Since it’s a special celebration, it’s a classic touch you’ll definitely want to include!
penlight
Penlights aren’t just for weddings—they’re versatile party items used at parties, concerts, and more.
Here, the classic “Koi Dance” is performed while holding penlights.
It creates a stylish presentation that’s quite different from simply singing a celebratory karaoke song.
Kagami-biraki (the ceremonial opening of a sake barrel or breaking of New Year kagami mochi)
At a wedding in traditional Japanese attire, adding a kagami-biraki (sake barrel opening) ceremony could be a fun way to liven things up! It’s a uniquely Japanese touch, so I imagine quite a few people in Japan would like to try it at least once.
It’s one of those elements that guests of all ages can enjoy together!
Glowing champagne glass
These champagne glasses are designed to light up when a drink is poured.
Since they’re made of acrylic, they’re hard to break and are perfect as party goods.
It would also be nice for the bride and groom to go around pouring champagne for their guests.
There are several light modes, and if you dim the venue, it should create a romantic atmosphere.
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!
