Instead of doing a traditional guest book, Josh and I loved the idea of doing a wish tree.
A wish tree is where people write their names, good wishes, and pieces of advice on a piece of pretty paper and then hang it on a tree.
Looks something like this:

Gorgeous, no?I love this for a variety of reasons, not just how pretty it is. We also have a tree theme going on and it's a lovely spin on the traditional guest book. I'm really hoping that our guests will enjoy the idea as much as I do and will embrace it. Once the wedding is over, Josh and I plan on either finding a place for it in our new home, or making an extra special wedding scrapbook will the "leaves" in it.
This is one of my favorite parts of my wedding planning, and also one that I'm thinking I'm going to step away from.
I consider myself creative and crafty and following the instruction of my bloodline, I love to build things. This would be a cinch. But it's also one of those things that I'm not going to want to have to fiddle with on my wedding day (okay, that's a lie. I would LOVE to, but I'm not sure I'd have time) so I'm thinking I'll hand this project over to one perhaps two of my very capable and artistically inclined bridesmaids. Delegate, delegate, delegate!
