Do you know about a Wish Tree?
Have you heard of "Wish Tree"?
It's when you write your wishes on a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby and hang them up, or write on Tanabata strips and hang them on bamboo leaves. That's exactly what a Wish Tree is!
It's also popular at weddings, where the wedding items placed in the welcome space at the reception venue or after-party are referred to as a Wish Tree♡
A large object that resembles a tree catches the eye and makes the decor look festive and stylish.
There seem to be various ways to do a Wish Tree. Here are three mainstream methods♡
Wish Tree Method 1: Have Guests Write Messages♡
First, the classic method is to have guests provide messages in a guestbook style.
You can have them write congratulatory messages like with a wedding tree, or, as the name suggests, have guests write their wishes.
Some brides even choose a mini-sized tree so they can display it at home after the wedding*
Wish Tree Method 2: Display Photos with Guests♩
Another idea is to display photos with guests, with hopes that "Everyone gathered here today will continue to enjoy happiness together."
If guests see their own photos or those of their friends in the welcome space, it will surely bring them joy and a fun atmosphere♡
Wish Tree Method 3: Display Photos of the Couple♩
It's also adorable to display photos from the couple's dating period or pre-wedding shoot♡
Let's decorate together with the wish of becoming a wonderful couple*
Wish Trees are Wonderful**
Placing a Wish Tree in the welcome space of the venue creates a striking presence and is truly wonderful♡
Guests are likely to wonder, "What's this?" and being able to write messages is also appealing!
It’s a participatory experience for guests where they can receive messages and look at photos, creating a sense of unity, so it’s highly recommended♩
