bridal shower gift

 I am invited to a bridal shower for my best friends daughter and she has alot of people invited.
I figured she would get lots of stuff, so I decided to make something she could use and help her out.
I made sixty thank you cards each one is different. For the card box I used sonic drink tray and altered.
covered with pretty paper then for files inside use kitchen cart and cut file cut at 4 and 1/2 in fit perfect
added metal on the top of file with a little bling made the daisy from giant flower cart.
 heres the side view so you can see what I did. oh all the cards are cut at 4.50 also
now here is the back of box. Could you please be honest and tell me if you think this is a good gift
or not? I couldnt decide if it was to cheap or not, but if you price cards at walmart or anywhere for that fact not cheap at all and you only get eight. Well I like the way it turned out I just hope she feels the same. hugs
