13 Fairy-Tale Wedding Guest Book Trees

If you’ve never seen a wedding guest book tree before, prepare to be delighted! As far as wedding guest book alternatives go, it’s definitely one of our favorites, and we think once you check out the trees we’ve featured in our list, you’ll agree.

The wedding tree (or wishing tree) is a lovely Dutch wedding custom that has recently gained huge popularity in the US. That increase in popularity has given rise to all manner of wedding tree types and styles to take the place of a bound paper guestbook. 

Guests write special notes for the newlyweds on small pieces of paper and then affix them to the branches of the wedding wishing tree. At some weddings, the couple reads the notes aloud and then hangs them on the tree. 

If you’re intrigued, stick with us. We’ll show you some traditional tree wedding guestbooks, then dazzle you with some wishing-tree-inspired wedding guestbooks fit for a storybook wedding!

Some Wedding Guest Book Tree Tips:

• If your tree doesn’t come with card stock notes, ask your stationery vendor if they can create some that match your stationery. (They may even punch hanging holes in the cards for you.) 
• Keep at least 20 more cards and fasteners handy than your guest count. 
• Since you may have several guests at your wishing tree table at once, leave plenty of markers. Since some of those guests may be of the kid variety, leave plenty of hand-washing wipes, too.
