- Prepare containers with paint (better than a smaller volume, but more units) or stamp pads, as well as wet wipes or towels. It is better to choose safe paints in order to avoid allergic reactions in guests.
- Ask all participants in the wedding to leave a print of their palm or finger on the sketch - in the places of the alleged leaves or fruits (depending on the theme of the picture). If guests leave a fingerprint, it is better to choose light shades of any color so that the inscription can be distinguished.
- On the palm print, all present write wishes, and next to the outline of the finger they leave only their names.
- After completing this ceremony, which should take place with the appropriate music and be accompanied by the comments of the host, the sketch is framed and given to the young.
