As this now seems to be getting serious <VBG> there are a couple of things that come to my mind.
First is that you are probably making it for the post rather than person, so what is a lady judge now may not always be. You do need to make sure that they will be welcomed (there is a hell of a lot of work involved here) even though it would have been nice as a "surprise". And, back to a point I made a few days ago, you also need to make sure there will always be someone with enough knowledge to care for them (and who can be bothered/payed enough to care). This is especially important if you do gathered or fluted lace as it is much harder to iron. In fact Ipersonally think the long term care should be a primary factor in deciding the type of lace you make.
