I made 'make a wish' and 'take a wish' jars (I used apothecary jars). Blank cards for guests to fill out and leave for us in the the 'make a wish' jar and we printed our wishes for guests to take from the 'take a wish' jar.

UPDATE: I finished the set late last night. Another check off the list! Printed, measured, cut and folded a ton of 'wishes' (inspirational quotes for guests)... had major 'wish fatigue'! FH thankfully jumped in to help. I really should have invested in a darn paper cutter!

Added more pics.

First pic is the one I used for an example.

Not done yet...

Finished set!

Some of the wishes we wrote for guests to take from take a wish jar (with our monogram on the front -thx Ryan! )

The poem (found the beginning part from another LIW bride, me and FH came up with the end part)

Stack of blank cards for guests to write us wishes on the back and put in make a wish jar
