If you&amp;#039;re planning one of these events this summer, wow your guests with this creative dec\u00F3r idea.  What You&amp;#039;ll Need:  2-3 Manzanita branches: We got ours, which are 18-24&amp;quot;, from Nettleton Hollow   Glass vessel to hold the branches  Craft paper in the colors/patterns of your choice  Leaf template, which you can download here. Resized as needed (we printed ours at 2&amp;quot; across)  Printed (scanned) photos of the family members you&amp;#039;d like to include in the tree, resized so that your shortest dimension is at least 1&amp;quot;  1&amp;quot; craft punch, which you can find at a craft store or online  Glue stick Pencil Paper clip  Watch our video for a how-to:      How to use this project: Bridal shower: Collect photos of all family members, going back as far as you&amp;#039;d like. Consider making one tree for the bride&amp;#039;s side and one tree for the groom&amp;#039;s side if you have larger families. Baby shower: Gather baby pictures of all of your guests to create the tree. Turn it into a game \u2014 the guest of honor has to guess who&amp;#039;s who! Wedding: Get several larger manzanita branches to create a large family tree for your place card table. It&amp;#039;s a fun way for your guests to get acquainted with the key players in your wedding. Or, you could use the leaves on the tree as escort cards. Family reunion: Make a tree for each table, and write the name of each person along the edge of the leaf.
