Wishes for the newly weds..a twist to the guestbook

So recently i have been obsessed with the variety of guest books i have seen at weddings,and this has been going on for ages. However i have been advising my brides (only 2 so far) to go with an alternative such as a wish tree or a glass bowl.

This is actually an old Dutch tradition. Basically the idea is that you have a wish tree/glass bowl/jar and some note cards or tags next to it. So your guests will take the note cards and write a wish or a piece of advice and hang it on the branches,or put them in the bowl. At the end of the night/day the newly weds take the cards and make a scrap book or an album out of them. I am sure this will be fun to read in the morning after breakfast in bed when you are honeymooning.

I actually remember singing under a big tree with my friends as child at Arusha School 'wish wish come to me' we caught the leaves falling and made a wish then we let it go. Maybe wishes do come from trees after all,Oh well!

Enjoy,x.
