13. “Wishes for the Little Berry” Advice Tree
Replace the traditional guest book with a sentimental, interactive installation that the parents-to-be can cherish forever. Secure several tall, sturdy branches of curly willow or manzanita in a heavy ceramic pot filled with moss. Provide guests with die-cut paper tags shaped like blueberries and leaves, along with fine-tip metallic pens. Guests can write their heartfelt wishes, parenting advice, or predictions for the baby on the tags and hang them from the branches, creating a beautiful, leaf-laden “wish tree” that doubles as a meaningful piece of nursery decor after the shower.
