When cash and gift certificates are the preferred gifts at a shower, this money tree makes a perfect place to accumulate gift envelopes. Heck, you might even want to flavor your party with a money tree baby shower theme!
The baby shower decoration:
A small tree, either real or artificial, is used for guests to affix envelopes filled with money or gift certificates. The hostess will need to inform all guests that cash and/or gift certificates are the preferred gift when sending the baby shower invites.
Variations:
Shrubs or a tree branch are great substitutes for a money tree. Complete your decor by having small dirt filled flower pots sprouting dollar bills in the shape of flowers.
Preparation:
It's vital to coordinate this shower decoration when sending the invitations. Inform the guests that cash and gift certificates are the preferred gifts. Include a small envelope within the invites so guests can discreetly gift whatever amount they choose. Have additional envelopes available on the day of your shower. Have your guests affix their envelopes to your money tree with colored clothes pins.
YeahBaby.com thoughts:
Many consider gifting cash to be taboo. YeahBaby disagrees. Guests will know they are giving exactly what the mom-to-be needs most. And this idea eliminates the need to go shopping and wrap a gift!
