The Classic of Classics * I Want to Do a Dress Color Guessing Quiz!

The "Dress Color Guessing Quiz," where guests guess the color of the dress the bride will wear after her outfit change, is an absolute classic at receptions.

By asking guests to make predictions in advance, both the newlyweds and the guests can enjoy the exciting moment of the outfit change together♡

But there's something I've been thinking about.

Recently, when I attended a wedding as a guest on the groom's side (with no prior acquaintance with the bride), I realized something while participating in the dress color guessing quiz*.

That is, "It's way too hard to guess the color of the dress when I'm meeting the bride for the first time and I don't know anything about her personality or preferences!"

Certainly, for guests on the bride's side who have a close relationship with her,

✓ "She's always dressed cute, so I think she might go for pink♡"

✓ "She has a bright personality, so yellow would suit her♩"

✓ "She said she loves the ocean, so she might be wearing blue♡"

It’s fun analyzing the bride's personality and making guesses like these, right?*

On the other hand, what about the guests on the groom's side?

However, for guests on the groom's side who have never met the bride,

once they've checked in, they are simply asked, "Please cast your vote!" and they have to vote randomly without knowing anything about her.

It’s purely a guess......!

Sure, it would be exciting if you guessed correctly, and even luckier if you got a prize, but

it's clear that there’s a difference in enthusiasm for the dress color guessing quiz between the groom's guests and the bride's guests when they vote.

Therefore, having some hints prepared would be considerate*

Of course, this situation is unavoidable, but as a bride, I really want the guests on the groom’s side to enjoy it too.

So, as a solution, it would be kind to include some hints about the bride in the explanation sheet for the dress color guessing quiz.*

What kind of hints could they be?

Since space to write may be limited, hints about the bride can be one to two phrases long.*

✓ The color that the bride has loved since she was a child

✓ The color of the first dress she tried on

✓ The same color as her coming-of-age ceremony kimono

✓ The same color as her favorite Disney princess

✓ A color that perfectly matches her bright and cheerful personality

✓ An elegant and beautiful color

✓ A trendy color these days

And so on are recommended!*

Having hints makes it more enjoyable♡

The dress color guessing quiz will be way more enjoyable if there are hints about the bride because guests can think for themselves and make their own choices♡

I'm sure the moment the bride enters with her changed outfit will be filled with excitement as they cheer, "I got it right!" or "I missed that one!"

Brides who are DIYing their dress color guessing quiz should definitely consider adding hints to their explanation!*
