Hey everyone!
One late night at work I was searching the knots message boards trying to get ideas of what I can do for the reception. I think every bride tries to do something different and unique.
I suddenly came across a simple suggestion for a wedding wish tree instead of a guestbook or the picture frame people sign. There is a very nice lady, Laura, that makes a unique version of the tree. I actually think I squealed at 2:00am by myself when I saw this lol.
She works just outside the VA border in Rocky Mount, NC (i know i know this is a VA board but they are really close to the border and are willing to deliver in VA). I have been working with her for a couple of days trying to come up with a one of a kind tree for myself. Its very nice working with someone one on one and she replies very promptly. I even showed my fiance the next day and he loved it. They kind of have an industrial/rustic kind of look. Very unique.
The only catch is she hand delievers the trees (for a price) which is a good thing I guess to make sure the tree arrives w/o any problems. I live in Manassas and after talking to my fiance we will probably just go down and pick it up, make a day trip out of it. Anyway, I was really excited when I came across this thought I spread the wealth of the wedding wish tree since I've never heard of it. =o)

I would love to leave them on the tree afterwards but my cats will probably thing its a toy so I will probably print off pictures of the people at the wedding and in a scrapbook place the cards near the pictures of the people. Plus the tree will be a pretty decoration around the house
