I got these CUTE oak tree notepads from Cards & Pockets, thanks for whoever recommended me to the website! :)

So orginally I was wanting to just have people write a note on here & place it in a nice vase, but now I hear a lot of talk about Wish Tree's. I found a place where I can order Manzantilla Branches for $5.00 a piece & I was going to create my own Wish Tree, & then punch holes in these little notepads, place a ribbon in it & have people hang it from the tree.

The only thing I'm wondering, though, is what to do with the tree afterwords? It would seem a bit tacky to have it placed on a side table somewhere with a bunch of paper hung from branches, so I was wondering what other alternatives were?

That's a good idea! I was thinking of saving the "Wish Tree" but I actually like the idea of putting them in a scrapbook. Or, maybe to decorate the house, I can go back to my original idea post-wedding by putting them in a nice vase and setting them out somewhere :) Thank you for your help!
