I am in need of opinions...
About two months ago, my DH's cousin got married. They are from North Carolina, and the wedding was here in their hometown in Michigan. They had flown up for the wedding. Our wedding present to them was basically a card that said "A special surprise is in the works for you!".
We had arranged with their photographer to be emailed 4 different prints from their wedding, two of their first dance (they took dance lessons and made the biggest deal about their first dance
), and two of the ceremony (my DH officiated). Our plan was to purchase picture frames, and in between the photographs, put a fancy copy of the first dance song lyrics, and their vows.
Well, we received the pictures last week, and we have finished the project as of last night and they are just beautiful.
We just found out that they happen to be coming up to MI for an unplanned visit this weekend. I believe that they are flying in. We have worked very hard on their presents, and while we were planning on sending them UPS to them, it would be so much nicer to see their reaction as they open their presents. The only problem would be that they may not have room in their luggage for two (18x24) frames.
Here are my thoughts, tell me what you think.
They are staying with their parents, so if we hand deliver their presents, they can decide if they like them enough to make room in their luggage and take them home with them today, or whether they want to leave them with their parents until they take a car ride here again.
What would you do? Send them UPS or opt for the more personal, hand delivery?

Thanks for the tip! See, now this is why I am afraid. I almost want to put it in a box and PAY for it to be sent home on the plane with them... I think it would get better treatment that way!
