Would this be an appropriate gift for a wedding?

My bf and I have been going back and forth over this. He is the groomsmen for one of his best friend’s wedding, and I’ve gotten quite close to both the groom and bride. I’ve also been getting into scrapbooking lately, and would love to scrapbook a page for them and frame it. It would be on 12×12 paper and in a special scrapbooking frame. I think we will probably pair it with another gift, perhaps off the registry, but I think it would be enough on its own. My bf thinks not, because he says the gift should be as much as our dinner at the wedding, but I think with the time I would take to make the gift, as well as the cost of the materials, (which can get pretty pricey!!) as well as the special handmade factor, it would be even. What do you think?

I agree with you. This is because it is a personal touch that would mean so very much, if they are close friends.
Things like that that is done with much thought and love , I think, is priceless!!!
But if the bride and groom are materialistic and calculative type of people, then it would be a different matter altogether. If it were my Wedding Present, I would be touched to tears!
On my 10th wedding anniversary, my husband and I renewed our vows and had a party. One guest made us a photo album with lace etc….so pretty! Another crotcheted a doll which has the skirt part as a container for odds and ends which are small…e.g. jewelry.
So it depends on the couple. If they are close friends you will know what kind of folks they are.
