Beyond the Penlight! A Special Feature on Items for Guests to Choose in the Dress Color Guessing Quiz*
2020.11.22 published
The Color of the Dress Quiz is Usually Done with Glow Sticks, But…?
One of the classic performances at wedding receptions is the Color of the Dress Quiz.
Guests are asked to guess the color of the colored dress after the change of outfit, and a prize is given through a lottery among the guests who guessed correctly.
The standard method is to have guests write their predicted color on a voting slip and take a glow stick or ribbon wand of that color to their seats, but…
In fact, there are brides who prepare items other than glow sticks!♡
In this article, we will introduce items other than glow sticks and ribbon wands that guests can choose from during the Color of the Dress Quiz♩
Item 1 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Candles
An idea where guests choose a candle of the same color as their guessed colored dress.
This is a unique performance that combines a candle relay and the Color of the Dress Quiz!
It is perfect for brides having a night wedding.
Color candles can be purchased reasonably, starting from around 100 yen each, making it a budget-friendly option.
It’s lovely to use them for a candle relay performance, but it would also be nice to prepare wrapped candles to use as petite gifts!♡
Item 2 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Candy
A bride had guests choose colorful Peko-chan candies for the Color of the Dress Quiz.
The sight of numerous Peko-chan candies lined up looks just like a candy shop. It could make the welcome space adorable!
Item 3 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Gummy Candies
An idea where guests can choose from four varieties of Gummy candies.
Male guests are likely to get excited and say, "How nostalgic!"
Even if they don’t win the lottery for the Color of the Dress Quiz, they still get a candy, so there’s no disappointment!♡
Item 4 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Umaibo
Some brides also prepared Umaibo snacks.
It's easy to participate and convenient to eat, which could be good!

An idea to prepare artificial flowers in the same colors as the dress options.
It would make the welcome space more vibrant.
I would love for the chosen flowers to be displayed as decoration at the guest table for photo opportunities!♡
When putting stems of artificial flowers into a bucket, it creates a flower shop-like appearance.
The time taken to select the flowers seems to be enjoyable as well.
It would also be interesting to combine this flower gathering with other performances, such as creating a wedding bouquet or doing a dozen roses ceremony.
Item 6 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Boutonnieres
An idea to use preserved flowers in five colors to create boutonnieres♡
Guests can choose the boutonniere in the color they think is correct and wear it.
Since all guests will have matching boutonnieres, it could create a sense of unity!♡
Item 7 for the Color of the Dress Quiz: Brooches
An idea to have guests choose rose brooches as well.
It’s a dream for everyone to wear matching items at a wedding.
Combining this with the Color of the Dress Quiz performance would likely make it more enjoyable for guests.
