message tree versus guest book!

I think I'd prefer a book but the tree idea still sounds great.

I am doing a wish tree as think that it will be easier to get everyone to write on it without having an usher rushing round trying to get everyone. In my wildest dreams it will look something like this.

If i got married again , i would do a tree, as it was i did a book, we put it right by the door, nobody noticed it , and by the time i realised and got it going round the room half the people had left lol

Hi,

We had a wish tree at out wedding on 31st July. We went the whole hog and actually used a tree! I have attached a few pics, we used lots of ribbon and the black and white pic is one of my faves from the day!

We will be having either a Wish tree or a Wish box.. Either way, guests will write their wishes to us on a card/tag and post it in the Wish box or hang it on the Wish tree. We will then add all the tags to a nice wedding scrapbook with photos etc. Be nice to look back on rather than just a guestbook which has a few pages worth of messages then the rest of the book blank.

Oh Tinks that is mighty pretty!!!!!!

Dani your tree looks beautiful, my only fear is as im getting married in March it is likely to rain and they will get soggy or it will be so cold no one will want to go out!!! It look so nice with the ribbons though!

I really think that it will be the best way to get everyone to leave a message and so long as i ensure we dont loose any we'll b able to keep them all in an album!

I have memories when i was little at Easter my mum getting arts and crafty and painting a branch and hanging wooden eggs on it, im imagining something like this. I think I may be stealing a little more 'jazzy' inspiration from Tinks now though ?

Ck inI put photo corners in my guset book and wrote people's names on each page. I had 6 bridesmaids and 5 best men and each was given a list of 5 couples/familes and it was their responsiblity to get those people to get a portrait photo taken by our 2nd tog and to sign in the book which we had out from the meal onwards. My mum still has the guest book but she's looked & we're only 5 people short of comments & I intend to email them to ask them to write something so we can stick it in. Our professional pics aren't done yet but hopefully all the photos got taken, if not I'll have to crop them out of the group ones.

I love the idea of a tree as it looks really nice in the room and it quite fun.

Any ideas where you get them from?!
