Family Tree FAQs
How Do I Order A Family Tree?

Then add it to your cart.
Next, add your leaves (1 name = 1 leaf).
You can also add a circle, upgrade to 3D letters, or add a passuk by clicking here.
After checkout, email rikki@waterdalecollection.com to receive a spreadsheet for submitting your names.
How Much Do The Leaves Cost?
- You attach them yourself: $8.25 per leaf (leaves come with adhesive backing)
- We attach the leaves for you: $12.25 per leaf
What Should I Write on the Leaves?
Most people choose to write first names in Hebrew, using full names rather than nicknames. However, you can also choose English or nicknames - it's completely up to you.
How Many Names Can Fit on a Leaf?
Each leaf can fit up to 3 names. This refers to the names a person was given - whether at birth or later in life - such as all of their Hebrew names. For example: חיים יהושע מאיר would count as one leaf.
Can I Add Birthdays or Anniversaries to Leaves?
At this time, we can only include names on the leaves.
How Do You Know Where to Place My Leaves?
If we are attaching the leaves for you, we follow your completed spreadsheet exactly and send you a proof for approval before attaching anything.
If you are placing the leaves yourself, we recommend first laying out all the leaves on the tree without removing the adhesive backing. As you plan the layout, keep in mind future spouses, children, and grandchildren who may be added down the line. Once you are happy with the arrangement, then peel off the adhesive backing and adhere each leaf to the tree
Can I See a Mockup Before Production Starts?
Yes. You will receive a proof of your leaves before the file is sent to production to ensure everything is correct.
What Is the $150 Add-On?
This upgrade includes 3D die-cut gold lettering, which can feature your family name, a custom pasuk, or any phrase of your choosing - placed at the top or bottom of the tree.
Does the Painting Come with "Ilan Ilan" Lettering?
Some trees include the words "אילן אילן" already printed as part of the design (this is a flat metallic print, not 3D). Check the description of your specific family tree to see if your design already includes it. You can always upgrade to 3D die-cut lettering on any tree - including trees that already have the words printed flat. The 3D version adds a beautiful dimensional effect that stands out from the surface.
What Is the $18 Round Plaque Add-On?
A circular plaque on the trunk featuring:
- Parents' names (e.g., "Totty & Mommy"), or
- Your family name
Can I Add Leaves Later?
Yes! Additional leaves can be ordered at any time.
Can Leaves Be Removed or Moved?
We don't recommend it, but if needed, leaves can be carefully removed using a razor or knife.
How Are Leaves Attached?
Each leaf has adhesive backing - just peel and stick. If you ordered the self-attach option, we recommend planning your full layout before removing any backing (see: How Do You Know Where to Place My Leaves?).
How Many Leaves Fit on a Tree?
- Small sizes: up to ~100 leaves
- Large sizes: up to ~175 leaves
For more than 175 leaves, we recommend ordering a custom size larger than 36×48. Production time for custom sizes is 12–16 weeks. Contact rikki@waterdalecollection.com for more information.
What Is the Turnaround Time?
Most family trees are completed within 8–12 business days. If you need your family tree sooner, rush processing options are available for an additional fee.
Can I Customize Colors or the Tree Design?
Our family trees are stocked designs, so colors and styles cannot be changed. For custom sizes, slight color and design adjustments may be available for an additional design fee.
What If I Make a Mistake on My Spreadsheet?
You can make changes to your spreadsheet and proof until the file is sent to production. Once production begins, changes cannot be made, so please review your proof carefully before approving.
Are the Family Trees Hand-Painted?
The designs are custom-created for Waterdale, but they are not hand-painted directly onto the lucite. They are printed on lucite with a gold foil texture, giving a beautiful hand-painted look.
How Do I Hang My Painting?
Your order includes mounting screws, hardware, and hanging instructions.
Can I Get a Bulk Discount for a Large Family?
Unfortunately, we do not offer bulk discounts, as each leaf is a custom piece.
What Size Should I Order?
This depends on how many names you plan to include now and in the future. As a general guide:
- Smaller trees hold up to ~100 leaves
- Larger trees hold up to ~175 leaves
If your family is large or growing, it's always better to size up - you can never add too much space, but running out of room is hard to fix. When in doubt, reach out to rikki@waterdalecollection.com for a personalized recommendation.
Can I Order Just Leaves Without a Tree?
Yes! If you already have a tree and need to add new family members, you can order additional leaves at any time.
Do You Ship Internationally?
Please contact rikki@waterdalecollection.com for international shipping inquiries, rates, and availability.
Is This a Good Gift?
Absolutely! A family tree makes a meaningful and lasting gift for weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, bar/bat mitzvahs, and more. You can purchase the tree itself as the gift and let the recipient add leaves over time, or coordinate names with family members beforehand.
