Perhaps money does not develop on trees but you surely can make it appear as if it does in fact grow on trees. This simply yet eye-catching tree is perfect for golden anniversary parties, even graduations or wedding receptions. It is a one of a kind gift that certainly makes a profound statement.
A unique idea is a money tree, and it brings new meaning to the phrase that money does not grow on trees. The money tree is easy to create and brings mother nature inside but you can also do this on a living tree outside.
If you are having an inside party simply get a fallen branch, which looks nice or even a small Christmas tree and use it as a money tree. You simply attach money to the branch with a paperclip and it will hang on the tree. If you choose to use an outdoor tree, you simply add the money in the same way, with a paper clip.
This idea is perfect for golden anniversary parties or other anniversary parties where the couple have been together for a long time and do not need the traditional gifts. Imagine the special couple's eyes when they behold this money tree.
Our family used a potted tree to create my great grandfather money tree for his hundredth birthday. Great Grandpa Pond lived in his own apartment, taking care of his own needs very well but struggled on social security so this money tree sure came in handy for him.
Can you imagine the presents this man would have gotten had we opted for traditional gifts instead of the money tree when he had nine children himself and those nine children had much more. There were almost 500 descendants at his party and so the money tree was perfect. I still remember seeing that money tree back in 1976 and I remember it vividly.
The money tree is also great at graduation parties when the senior is heading out to college, the military or into small apartment. The extra cash allows them to buy what they need, want, or desire.
There is much temptation among young children and thieves so when you create this money tree at your next special party, please be sure to have a few trusted people stand by the tree. These trusted few people can hang the dollar bills on the tree and I certainly recommend that any bill higher then a five be placed in a cash box that is watched. Of course the honoree gets all the cash, which is to be placed on the money tree or cash box.
