I Love getting ideas from past Wedding Alum

My friend Natalie Noss is getting married next month and I asked her if she had any advice. She sent me a picture that I thought was so cool instead of a guest book it is the guest treeThey call it a wishing tree. Your guests write wishes or advice for your happiness on individual cards, and hang them from a small tree, which can double as a welcoming decoration at your reception. If you can't swing the tree, pick up some branches from a craft store and display them in a vase. For a more cost-efficient idea, try a "Wishing Bowl" instead, and instruct guests to toss their cards into a glass bowl.

What to do after the wedding? You could use the cards to create a wedding scrapbook, combined with photos, invitations and other mementos from your wedding. Or, store the cards in a memory box and break them out on anniversaries.

I just thought it was such a cute idea (thanks Natalie)
