SWR: Wedding pics as Xmas gifts for BMs?

I have two friends who were BMs in my wedding in May. Would it be tacky to give them mini-photo albums of the wedding (like those done in MyPublisher or Picaboo) as part of their Christmas gifts? They don't have any photos from the wedding right now.

If it sounds like a self-centered idea, are there any ways to make it less so in execution? As in, de-emphasize photos of DH and me, and focus on photos of the BMs?

I will also be giving them homemade cookies as well. In the past, I've given them wine, gourmet teas, bath products, candles, art, and artisan pottery.

So, IYHO, my wedding pics as someone else's Christmas gift: a neat idea or arrogant as hell?

I dunno, it's a sweet idea to give them small albums, but I wouldn't do it as part of a christmas gift. I would keep the christmas gift as stuff solely centered upon them....

I like the idea. It is a nice rememberance of your wedding day.

I think if each album is customized for that BM, and centered on photos of you and them it would be a nice idea. Maybe you could include fun pictures from other times as well to make it more about your friendship than your wedding. I was MOH for a friend and she gave me a framed photo of the two of us from her wedding for christmas. I really liked it.
