I Want to Do a Dress Color Guessing Game♡

The "Dress Color Guessing Game" is extremely popular as a wedding reception entertainment!＊

Guests will predict the color of the colored dress the bride will wear after her outfit change, and those who guess correctly can win prizes through a lottery!

It's a fun performance that involves guests...♡

However, even though it's a classic performance among brides,

for guests who might only attend weddings a few times a year, it can be rare and refreshing, and some may not even know about the performance itself...!

That's why the explanation board for the "Dress Color Guessing Game" is an important item!＊

But, is that English phrase really correct?＊

On the explanation board for the "Dress Color Guessing Game,"

we write a message like

"Please predict the color of the dress the bride will wear after her outfit change. We also have prizes for those who guess correctly through a draw."

To make it more stylish, it's a common idea to translate the sentence "What color is the bride's dress?" into English and write that phrase too!♡

But recently, I have heard stories from some brides who regretted using an English phrase that was grammatically incorrect...!

Indeed, while it may seem like just one phrase, it’s precisely because it’s only one phrase that one doesn’t want to be labeled as "not smart" due to a grammatical error... ><...

So in this article, I will explain the correct English phrases for the "Dress Color Guessing Game" and points that are easy to mistake!＊

①What color do you think?

The most standard English phrase among brides is this one＊

[Correct] What color do you think? = What color do you think?♡

It’s a simple and very clear sentence!

A point that is easy to confuse is the mistake of writing [Incorrect] What's color do you think? by adding an apostrophe and 's' to What.

The be verb 'is' and the general verb 'do' basically don't coexist in the same sentence, so be careful not to mistakenly use What's on a whim!
