Wedding present advice

    Hi Guys,
    Looking for opinions.
    My Fiancee is a graphic designer and for our upcoming friends wedding she designed and made their wedding invitations. She designs wedding invitations as a small side business.The ones in question took quite a bit of time for her to complete. We asked for 150 Euro from them to cover the majority of the materials but had about 50 Euro in costs ourselves as well as my Fiancees time and skills.
    We had said to the couple that this was our wedding present to them and they were delighted. My Fiancee estimated that they would have cost strangers in the region of 500 Euro. So my question is then do we just hand the couple an empty card on the wedding day? I know we were clear to them that this was their present but does it seem a little tight not to put even a token amount in the card?
    let me know your thoughts please.

    Well if you are asking then you must be doubting yourself so maybe just put a token gift like even a book mark wedding related or something small like that in the card and leave it at that

    Could you give them a framed copy of their invite or something?
    Or possibly their invite on a mug/apron/jigsaw or whatnot.

    Nice token to have, but very little cost to yourselves.

    the framed invite is fantastic idea.
    Perhaps have a 'double frame' with the invite in one and a nice photo of the couple in the other?
    I hope your friends know how costly and how much hassle invites are and if so how grateful they are of your time, effort and talents to do it.

    The framed invite would be loverly great idea PhoenixParker

    I for one can say I most defiantly appreciate how much work goes into the invites, well said... Before the whole thing I would have been a little "oh sure it is all printing" but there is so much more than just designing and printing to them... Hope ye have a loverly time at the wedding
