My fiance is half Japanese and I would like to incorporate a few traditions into our wedding but don't know where to start. His father is Japanese but they haven't spoken in years, so me asking this side of the family is a no-go. I want to include the 1,000 cranes but that's all I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Maybe a Sake Ceremony?

I'm half Japanese as well, so I'm adding the sake ceremony. I really like what it represents, the joining of the families. Although, I haven't gotten that far in the planning yet. Just a vague idea.

Well... Japanese weddings in Japan are widely Westernized now, unless you go the traditional route. Usually the reception is mostly speeches and conversation over a meal/drinks with no dancing/games.

Instead of throwing the bouquet a many ribbons are tied around the bouquet for single (female) guests to pull. The person who ends up with the lucky ribbon tied around the bouquet gets the bouquet.

Here's a site with some Japanese-American ceremony ideas, including sharing sake:
