I saw this suggestion of using wishing trees during weddings, instead of the usual guestbook is quite interesting. It’s a unique (and cheap!) way to gather up your guests’ well wishes at your wedding. Wedding couples would love to read their guests’ messages on this wishing tree, long after the ceremony and the party’s over.
It’s much like the Unity candles that parents and other family members would light up for the couple during the ceremony. It’s a way of extending their hands as a blessing to this union. Not only do these candles add elegance to the wedding ceremony, they are actually symbols of the couple’s desire to be united for the rest of their lives.
Wishing trees are not that difficult to set up, as you can read on this blog. You can put these wishing trees outside your reception area, so guests won’t forget to put their well wishes on their way into the party. You can then gather the cards they’ve written, put these in a photo album or have them laminated and framed. Your keepsake will remind you how your friends and family love you and share in your dream of having a happy and long lasting married life together.
