What is An Advice Tree?

Well it a great idea for any Graduation Party, Baby Shower, Birthday Party, Over the Hills Birthday Party, Babies First Birthday or even A Wedding or Bridal Shower.

Here is how it works: You have a Tree Set up. I like the Fiber Optic LED Trees that are available, because they look really pretty and festive especially at night. But any tree will do once you see how it works.

You have your Tree set up on a table in an area as your guests arrive or in the party room. On the table you have Paper,Pens and clips available so your guests can write their advice on for whomever the Guset of Honor is - The Graduate, The New Mom to be, The Birthday Child or Adult, The Bride and Groom etc...

It could be funny advice, serious advice, tips, memories etc...

Once they have done that they attach it to a tree with a clip and at the end of your party your tree will have bloomed into some great memories for the Guest of Honor to have and refelct on for years to come.

The papers can be Pre-Cut Shapes like - Leaves, Baby Bottles, Graduation Caps, Wedding Bells etc...




Look for Die Cut Shapes to go with your Theme

When looking for the Leaves or Shapes for An Advice Tree - Scrapbooking Supplies is a great place to look. There usually is a Die Cut Shape for everything. Or you can choose a shape and find a pattern and cut some out yourself using colored papers of your choice.

Attaching your Advice to the Tree

You have options here - one easy option is Clips - like the mini Clothes Pins - they come in a variety of colors. Or you can punch a hole in the top of each paper and have some pretty ribbon pre-cut and your guests can tie them onto the branch.


A Recipe Tree Option

This is another fun option - A Recipe Tree for a Bridal Shower. In your Bridal Shower Invitations send a Recipe Index Card and have them put their favorite recipe on it for the Bride to be. When they come to the party they can pin it on the tree for all to see. Then have some extra index cards and pens availble for those who may also want to try the recipe and write it down.

This is a wonderful gift for the Bride to be and I know because they did it for me and it was one of my favorites.


Other Options

If the tree is too much, but you like the whole idea you can now get Personalized Advice Cards. You can send them in advance in the invitations or have them filled out at the party.

Have a nice box available and everyone can insert their card as they arrive at the party. This is a great alternative.

I do love this idea! I saw something like this done at a bridal shower. All of us who were married had to provide one piece of advice for the bride. Fun stuff.
