The guestbook is a lovely tradition that lets guests share warm wishes or memories with the happy couple—a treasured keepsake for years to come. But if you’re looking for a more creative and unexpected twist, the fingerprint tree is a perfect idea!
It’s a stylized drawing of a tree with bare branches. During the ceremony or reception, guests place their fingerprint on a branch like a leaf, using ink in the color of their choice. Each guest chooses where and how to leave their mark, creating a unique and symbolic piece of art. It’s a fun, interactive moment for everyone.
If you’re on a budget or want a more personal touch, you can DIY it with high-quality paper, washable ink, and a bit of creativity. Alternatively, many professionals offer elegant, custom versions that match your wedding theme.
A few helpful tips:
- Make sure the tree has enough branches for all your guests.
- Choose ink colors that complement your wedding palette.
- Provide wet wipes so guests can easily clean their hands.
You won’t get heartfelt written messages, but you’ll have a beautiful and emotional keepsake. Frame it and turn it into real art: a lasting reminder of your special day, signed by those who love you most.
