A Wishing Tree

I admit, I LOVE the idea of a wishing tree: A place for guests to jot down their warmest wishes, fondest memories and most insightful advise. It makes such a statement at the reception, highlighting the wedding overall theme, whether that be a bling wishing tree dripping with crystals and sparkles, a nature friendly wishing tree incorporating mosses and barks, a wine country wishing tree draped with grapes and grape leaves.... There are so many options! Don't forget to give your guests instructions and appoint a "helper" to encourage guests to add to your wishing tree!

As we begin our new journey
a brand new Mr. & Mrs.
We could surely use
your advise and wishes.
Share with us your wisdom
about marriage, love & life.
Jot down a memory
a reminder of our day.
A doodle or picture will do
if you don't know what to say.
Please don't forget, it would be such a shame
Don’t hang your wish on our tree,
without signing your name.
Whatever you pen, we're sure to treasure
long after this day has passed,
your words will bring us pleasure.
