I wouldn't pay $5,000 for a celebrity message but I paid $50 for an actor who played a minor Game of Thrones character for a birthday message for my dad (a GoT fan) that will be delivered along with a 3D printed brass polished Hand of the King pin. It's just a really fun way to create a personalized gift for someone close to me, which is important because I have a really hard time coming up with meaningful gifts - it's usually just easier to throw money at it, and the personalized celebrity message is more meaningful with the same amount of effort. The specific service I used sends the money to the charity of the celebrity's choice (which they display before you buy) and no one will see the message except my family. I think the wedding example is just a little more public than how people normally use these things. This is the first time I've heard of them charging four figures but no surprise.
