Maybe it is just me, but if my family member or close friend did something like that for free for me, I'd be more than happy for them to be able to advertise their business. It sounds like it was very small, and barley noticeable. I always, always want to help support my family's and friends' businesses.

So, the only reason I’d say YTA is if this specifically WASN’T a gift. Like, if the cousin offered the free design IN EXCHANGE for the free advertising, I think that’s totally normal and more than fair. But because OP called it “a gift” from the cousin, I think it’s your wedding gift, do what you want with it.

like... even cards have the artist on the back, paintings have signatures on them even when they're given as gifts

"but it's a giiiift" if i painted something for someone as a gift and they went in and scraped off the tiny bit in the corner where I added my signature, I'd be pissed off. While it should've been plainly said there will be a QR code, I think having one tiny little code as a sort of 'signature' would be worth getting something for free that would otherwise cost hundreds.

They made you programs, whether it was favor or gift, her credit deserves to be on there. Plus, they said it was tiny and on the back.

pretty much all artistic vendors will add their watermark/ logo etc. to the things they produce for events. A small qr code, assuming it's on the back of the program, shouldn't be a big deal.

I can’t believe they were able to find a printer that was willing to remove the QR code. Those places, if legitimate, won’t print without a artist release. Yeah sure gift but the law may say that the cousin owned the copyright.

I mean she did it as a gift for her, and she always puts the qr code in her work. And the OP stole it without cousin’s permission. Everyone was a bit weird, but stealing the design without asking is still As move

i think op shouldve said "hey can you change this to be like, your artist name instead of a qr code" and cousin maybe shouldve told op directly "hey i always do this to sign my work" but op is wayyy more wrong

It’s literally a watermark after she did her job as a gift why does it matter she gets credit for her work she spent hours on?

its a discussion that should have happened but didnt. but op stole cousin's design essentially and its a double f- you that they reprinted them behind her back. that's rude.

I think if they had just openly communicated better and more directly about everything this whole mess could’ve been avoided

Yeah but doesn't she say something about if you're once stationary or some s*** like this wedding stationary that sounds like she's saying this wedding is going nowhere

if the code was small i don't see the big deal. if you plan on keeping the programs as the couple i can see not wanting it there but get a few without. i have never kept the programs from weddings.

Maybe it's just me, but I love supporting my friends/family and their business. Especially if they're doing me a favor, gift or not. It's such a small thing, and I want my loved one to have credit for their work.

As someone who does marketing and design, it's honestly not the hardest thing to do. If you want a simple program using canva would be such an easy thing to do. Depending on how many people you'd only need to pay for the paper and loose about at max 6 hours of your time (which can get pricey I will admit) I personally think that everyone kind of sucks here, cousin didn't want to give a gift without credit and op didn't communicate with cousin about how that can really be seen as not an actual gift.

When someone makes you an invitation card, it has the name of the company... whats the difference? ooooh, it's family, so now it's wrong? I will never understand why we treat closest to us so shitty
