Wish Tree
Best wishes!
We are having a wish tree at our reception, which we are making ourselves. The purpose of the tree is for guests to write down their advice or well wishes on a card and than hang their wish from our tree.

The cards i have pictured to the left, with our names and date on it, i've printed those on cardstock, mounted on pink paper, strung with pink satin ribbon and have a tiny silver heart hanging from the bottom of each.

for the wish tree we're purchasing a large vase, filled with water and white stones, or glittery marbles or something, a huge will branch (willow branches when steamed can be moulded into any shape you want) and then glue gunning pink lillies onto it.

i have also purchased a white square ceramic plate like in the picture that the cards will rest on (dollarama for $1)

There is a sign that will be posted nearby with a poem and will be framed in black, you can see a copy of the print below.

Yeah, we won't have a guest book... i found a book though that has clear insert pages so we can insert all the wish cards for display in an album later (if we dont keep them on the tree)

we are also going to have the black frame for signing which i showed a few entry's earlier!

This is SWEET idea! I love how you strung a silver heart from the bottom of them! You should show us a picture, they sound so cute!

I absolutely love your ideas!  I think you were the first person to inspire me to be a DIY bride!!!  Question... How big are your cards?

Thanks! the best thing about DIY is that you can keep adding or taking things away until its perfect!!!

My cards are 2.5 inches by 3 inches and than have a .5 inch thick pink matte around them
