I stumbled across this idea on the way to work this morning when reading one of the million catalogs that migrate to my mailbox every week.  Check out this “Wishing Wall” found at Uncommon Goods:

What a great idea! I would love to have this instead of a traditional guest book. Think of all the sweet (and probably some spicy) advice and wishes you will come home with. I can picture making a book out of all the wishes too– just line them up and photograph them and send to one of several online book makers– an easy way to have all those great wishes close to your heart always.

Unlike some similar wishing walls I have seen, I like that this one keeps the advice and wishes secret by rolling up the paper into the honeycomb. At other weddings I have been to the advice has been a little more open for all to see, which may keep folks from telling you what’s truly in their heart. My only wish is that it would not be made out of cardboard, but there’s probably a way to dress it up to make it look a little more festive. Maybe cover the cardboard with pretty wrapping paper? I may have to experiment.

Here’s the product description:

Tuck tiny colorful wishes for the happy couple, new baby or proud graduate into this cardboard frame for a memorable keepsake. Or give it to yourself and let it be a time capsule of your hopes and dreams. After the wall is full, store all your wishes in this keepsake WishChest. Includes 500 wish sheets. 100% recycled cardboard and 30% recycled paper fiber. Hand assembled in the USA.
