I guess that is the right title.

Okay- here is the problem- a friend of mine- (not a close one)- daughter is getting married in June. I make some jewelry and that type of thing for fun. . So, she found a tiara she wanted and it was 250.00. Alot! So, she brought me a picture and I was able to get close with alot of work. It came out really nice.

Anyway- it didn't cost me much - around 50 or so to put together. I would really like this to be part of the gift that she would get from my family.

Appropiate or not?

Thanks!

Absolutely! A few years ago, my gift to someone was making their 200 wedding programs. The materials costs were about $50 also but the time spent was A LOT. I think that is more than a generous gift. It was wonderful for you to go to all the time and effort to recreate the tiara!

I think so.

I would love a gift like that for when I get married.

Actually my best friends mom is making my jewelry for me and my bridal party as a gift to me.

absolutely appropriate!

The girl who sang in our wedding, was a friend who was also invited to the wedding. She usually charges around $60 per wedding, but she just said it was our gift from her.
Singing didn't cost her anything, but when you think that she could have made $60 if she were to sing at another wedding that day, it ends up being pretty fair to me! She didn't have to buy us anything (although i think she ended up giving us candles or something too) and we didn't have to pay her!

Anyway, i'm rambling again
I think that is a great gift!

Definitely! A friend did my nails for my wedding, and that was her gift to me. It was great!

Totally appropriate!

I agree, totally appropriate. If you want to "memorialize" it, as you say it is "part" of your gift, include a photo of the tiara with the rest of your gift.
