1. 
   Gather supplies

   Have a list of items that will go on the wedding bridal gift tree, starting with the suggestions in the "Things You'll Need" section of this article. Plan a meeting with several friends who are participating and think of as many different and creative gifts for the tree as possible. Have fun and be very creative. Decide who is responsible for buying the gifts.

2. 
   Attach with ribbon

   Set another meeting for a time that works for those helping to attach the gifts and cash to the bridal wedding gift tree. Carefully attach each gift to a branch with ribbon, leaving extra ribbon for curling the ends. Use lots of ribbon to make it beautiful.

3. 
   Net gift bags

   Some gifts may need to be wrapped inside a sheet of netting. Or for convenience you may also purchase and use the little bridal gift bags made of netting.

4. 
   The more the better

   When you have attached all of the gift cards, cash, trinkets, etc., make sure the bridal wedding gift tree looks somewhat balanced. Remember, the more gifts on the tree, the better. Stick the tree bottom in a planter to help it to stand. This will be a unique surprise for the bride.
