guest book and wishing tree

yuodelj

NOT a money tree....Wishing tree. In addition to a guest book I'll have a wishing tree that has small cards you can hang on the "tree" and write down words of love/good wishes. I'm going to get an album for them and use a picture of the tree in bloom as the cover picture. I'm writing Instructions for them but was wondering if I needed to have a guest book attendant to explain it.  I wasn’t going to do one before but My FMIL seems to think the wishing tree is weird and no one will understand it w/out someone to explain. Thoughts?   Also, if someone has done this before any tips on how to word the Instructions?

If it is at reception then have the dj announce it when everyone is getting done with dinner. We did a make a wish take a kiss jars. Put a wish to us in one jar and take a candy kiss from the other. No one was doing it and then the DJ announced it and it really filled up quickly.

So not wierd! I did this and it was great. I think i got the idea from a knottie. Our colors were eggplant and silver. My guests raved about it. My husband, my aunt and I did it ourselves. When we set up for the wedding the day before I just sat for a minute to admire it. The person we did our rentals from is a wedding planner, even though we did not use her services. She admitted she totally stole our idea and will use it in a future wedding. We added a little poem my husband wrote. Anyway my pictures are being wierd, can't link but if you want to see give me ur e-mail and I'll be happy to send it to you.

I agree with PP. Have the bridal party do it too, and then point other people towards it.
