No, no moral dilemmas here. Just that we have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks. The daughter of a long-time friend of John's from work. The parents (our friends) are delightful, interesting people. The daughter we have only met once, but she and her fiance seem delightful and interesting, too. The sort of people that make ordering something from their registry feel like a cop-out.
Not that I have anything against getting them something useful, but I'd like to MAKE them something, too. I'm thinking about a mixed media piece (also known as collage), with a love/marriage theme. Or a little book with the same idea. Feels a little pretentious to give them art they should hang up, a book they can choose to display or tuck away if they don't care for it. But... I'm torn.
Suggestions?

Go for the book, definitely. And it's a lovely idea.
i like the book idea. Maybe leave spaces in it where they can write stuff?
