The idea is that you have a tree printed on a sheet of paper (A4 or A3 are a good size) & you also have an ink pad where guests can ink their finger, then apply their fingerprint somewhere on the tree. You then write your name next to the fingerprint & the couple are left with a beautiful memento of all the guests at their engagement. (Having a packet of wet wipes handy is a good idea, so guests can remove the ink afterwards).
Here's the Fingerprint Tree that I put my fingerprint on:
This is such a clever idea for many other special functions too, such as weddings, kitchen teas, baby showers, birthdays, christenings & so many more, where you might previously have used a Guest Book.
I think a fantastic idea would be to create a Family Tree similar to the Fingerprint Tree (I don't know if this has been done yet - it probably has). With the Family Tree, your family members can put their fingerprints on the tree & then you can frame it & hang it on the wall in your home, along with your family photos.
It's beautiful. What do you think of the Fingerprint Tree? Do you like it as much as I do?
