I don't think you are cheap. With 12 bridemaids and how many others in the wedding party, your gifts already add up to quite a bit of money at $30 each. I wouldnt think people would expect you to spend the same amount on gifts that you spend on your photography. Am I naive, I mean...do people expect something extravagant?? We are spending about $50 each and our wedding party is significantly smaller...I think if the idea that it is to say 'thank you', then it's the thought behind it that counts, not the dollar amount you spend. Your gifts sound lovely to me. If I had more people in my wedding pary, I would spend less..
