A close family member's adult child is getting married. Everyone involved is well off (me, the least relatively speaking but this isn't really about $$) My idea would be more about time and effort vs $$.
I could give a nice check but I really want to knit a fun throw blanket using the wedding colors which are bold and striking. I will do a nice job, use good yarn, and wrap it beautifully.
Is this tacky? Too crafty? Weird?
I am known for knitting family gifts: hats, scarves, wraps, etc.
I am a really good knitter.
Fire away. Thanks!
To me. It would be beyond special to know that someone cared so much to handmade me something so beautiful because I know the time you have taken to make this gift. I would treasure it forever.
It's a wonderful gift.

Same with my mom.
If someone is such a horrific reptilian weirdo they can’t find a use for a cuddly blanket or beautiful warm quilt, eff em.
You're the one calling people names. That makes you the snake.
I didn't call anyone a name. Just stating what they are.

You sound very unaware of Gen Z preferences. They are the most vintage-loving, nostalgic generation imaginable.

We had two people make us GORGEOUS baby blankets—one hand woven, one knitted—that we absolutely treasured. I think it’s a nice idea, as long as you are confident that what you make will be beautiful.

Gotta say I think my sister's kid and their spouse will not love their wedding colors long-term.
OP, if you want to do something personal for them, could you knit them hats in their wedding colors? Not as a wedding present, just as Crafty Aunt Wearable Art?

I would cherish it! My husband has a crocheted blanket in mint green and brown. His grandma made one for each grandchild when they graduated high school. They got to pick the colors themselves. I have no idea why he chose those colors but we use it when we watch movies. We keep it in a basket in our family room. It is a special gift that our children like also.

How about you give a small check along with the blanket?
