For my daughter's Engagement/Wedding Shower, I had his parents send me photos from infant to now of their son and I gathered pictures of the same of my daughter. With the help of a photo copying machine, I was able to take a picture of him and one of her, both around the same age and put them together in one photo. I did the same with all the pictures, matching them up by age and grades in school. I then made a very large collage board which was a huge hit at the party!
Afterwards, I was able to frame it. It is now a great conversation piece in their family room. I will be doing the same exact thing for my son and his fiancee, at their Wedding Shower in June!
At my daughter's bridal shower 2 years ago, the gift that was talked the most about was a collage of her and her fiancee she received from a girl friend. It hangs in their bedroom - looks so nice.
Great idea on your part. Will never be discarded because it is a "worn out" gift.
