Appearance of the person after a surprise video
A jaw-dropping surprise perfect for people who live far away and can’t usually meet! It starts off as a seemingly ordinary message video: “It’s your special wedding, but since you’re so far away and I can’t make it, I’ll at least send a message…” However, as the video goes on, the excitement builds, and they just can’t hold back! They declare they want to celebrate in person—they’re coming to see you! And at that very moment, the person appears through the doorway! The bride and groom will be stunned.
The farther the distance, the bigger the impact.

WORLD ORDER
How about a parody of WORLD ORDER, a dance performance unit that expresses a one-of-a-kind worldview by fusing cutting-edge animation dance with digital techno-house? They’re well known as the group that includes former martial artist Genki Sudo.
Necktie Speed-Tying Contest
It’s more of an entertainment idea for an after-party.
First, men and women pair up.
At the host’s signal, the woman ties a necktie around her partner’s neck.
It’s a race to see who can finish the fastest.
Since most women aren’t used to tying ties, the key is for the men to guide them well and give clear instructions.
It’s fun for the audience to watch and should liven up the venue.
An original song from friends as a gift to the bride and groom
We’ll collect words and phrases filled with your feelings for the bride and groom and create an original song based on them.
If you prepare a video or hand out lyric sheets and have everyone at the venue sing along, a new favorite song will be born.
You could even present a gold disc with a handmade jacket as a special gift.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced lots of entertainment ideas—did you find one you’d like to do with heartfelt congratulations? As long as you have the desire to celebrate the couple, it will surely be an act that delights them! I hope the performance you put on helps color the bride and groom’s happiness.
