For a wishing tree, provide a small potted tree and a basket of small cards with a loop of ribbon or string. Guests
write loving wishes on the cards and hang them on the tree, the bride and groom keep the wishes and plant the tree wherever
they would like to have a special reminder of their wedding day.
