Stylish wish leaves for a stylish party<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-272 size-full\" title=\"Examples of wish leaves\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves1.jpg\" alt=\"Examples of wish leaves\" width=\"720\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Provide wish leaves that fit with the overall concept for your party: a colourful kids\u2019 party, a romantic wedding or a trendy birthday party &#8230; Choose a design that matches your style and give your party an all-over theme. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2. Unexpected messages<\/h2>\n<p>But what exactly should you ask your guests to write down? The more original the question, the more fun it will be to answer it, of course. So do your best \u2013 according to the occasion for the party \u2013 to be as witty as possible. That way, you&#8217;ll inspire your friends and family to get creative with their answers and you&#8217;ll get more than just a simple \u2018happy birthday\u2019 or \u2018congratulations\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Baby shower: future wishes from the past<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-271 size-full\" title=\"Baby shower wish leaves\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves2.jpg\" alt=\"Baby shower wish leaves\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves2.jpg 360w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>When the baby is born, enclose three separate wish leaves in the envelope with the birth announcement. Each page is designated for a certain age: 6 years old, 12 years old and 18 years old. Ask the guests to write down a wonderful wish for the child at each of these ages. At the baby shower, you can then provide three baskets in which all the new baby wishes can be collected per age (see <a href=\"\/blog\/personalised-wish-leaves-new-party-trend-part-2\">part 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Save these new baby wishes in a safe place and present them on your child&#8217;s birthday when he or she turns 6, 12 and 18. It&#8217;s a wish for the future, straight from the past!<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\" style=\"height:0px\"><\/div>\n<h3>Wedding anniversary: tips from the experts<\/h3>\n<p>30th anniversary: this jubilee is a milestone worth celebrating! And it&#8217;s also the ideal occasion to get some tips from the seasoned experts. Ask your guests how they have managed to stay happily married and what they recommend for smooth sailing in the next years.<\/p>\n<h3>A wish for me, a wish for you<\/h3>\n<p>Ask the guest what he would like to have accomplished in the next 10 years. Ask him to write it down and below it, a variation that he would wish for you.<\/p>\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: -17px 0 20px 0\">\n<li>For myself: I wish that in 10 years, I would have my own house in the country.<\/li>\n<li>For you: I wish you a charming apartment in the city, since I know how much you love the excitement of city life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Remember when we &#8230;?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-293 size-full\" title=\"Wish leave saying Remember when ...?\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves3.jpg\" alt=\"Wish leave saying Remember when ...?\" width=\"720\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/05\/wishleaves3-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Aside from wishes, you can also write down treasured memories.
