Top-Quality Waterproof Labels

water_bottles_ice The quality of our labels is one of the the many things that set us apart from our competitors.  Well, that and our awesome designs, low prices, and excellent customer service.

Anyway, back to the labels.  There’s nothing worse than ordering custom water bottle labels and prepping them for your event only to find out that they dissolve into pulpy mush after a few minutes in ice.  You want your labels to make an impression on people, but not because they have to wash ink off their hands after holding your bottled water!

Our water bottle labels are completely waterproof.  This means you can submerge them in ice and water for hours (days, even, if you want!) and our labels will stay as bright, vibrant, and stuck on the bottles as the day you received them.  You can display these labels with confidence, knowing they won’t let you down!

Can You Serve Wine at a Baby Shower?

baby_animals_wine An etiquette question to be sure!  You’re planning an event where the person of honor likely can’t have any alcohol, so is it ok to serve wine at a baby shower?

The answer?  Of course!  Just because the mama-to-be probably won’t be knocking any glasses of vino back doesn’t mean your guests can’t enjoy some libations!

Dress up the bottles with some adorable baby shower-themed wine labels and they’ll fit right in.  We have some really cute designs in our Baby Shower category, you’re sure to find a design you love (including “Baby Animals“, shown above).  If you’re feeling artistic, though, it’s easy to create completely custom designs too.

We recommend serving a bottle of red and a bottle of white, so your guests can choose their favorite.  Our wine labels are completely waterproof, so no worries about keeping the white wine on ice.

We’ve found that serving wine at parties can help people mingle more comfortably.  There will likely be a lot of people at the shower who haven’t met before, so everything you can do to encourage guests to chat and introduce themselves is great!

If you’re really hesitant about serving wine, just ask the mama-to-be how she feels.  If she isn’t bothered, no one else will be either!

Simply Amazing Retirement Party Decorations

daugherty_retirement_label Dee, one of our lovely customers, sent us this photo from her father-in-law’s retirement party and our jaws dropped.  These decorations are adorable!

She said she’d been stumped for decoration ideas until she took a look at the retirement party invitations and decided to use hammocks as her theme.  She built little hammocks in trays of sand as her centerpieces, and then found cardboard palm trees filled with mints to sit next to each place setting.

The custom water bottles, also featuring hammocks, tied the whole look together.  As you can see in the photo, the overall effect is relaxed, stylish, and perfect for celebrating a retirement!

To get this look, check out “Retirement Rocks“, a custom water bottle label featuring cool greens, blues, and, of course, a hammock!

A 30th Birthday Custom Label Extravaganza!

custom-labeled-bottles-in-ice-2 What do you get when one of the employees of Bottle Your Brand has a big birthday milestone to celebrate?  A custom label extravaganza, that’s what!

Erika, the reigning social media expert and content queen over at Bottle Your Brand headquarters, celebrated her husband’s 30th birthday last week using BBQ food, a giant cupcake, and five different kinds of custom labels.

custom-water-bottles-in-ice-2 Erika made sure to keep her guests hydrated and happy with custom water bottles.  The water bottle labels featured Yoda (from Star Wars) and Malcolm Reynolds (from Firefly), characters from two of her husband’s favorite shows.

She bought two cases of water from Costco, removed the original labels, and stuck the custom labels on in their place.  As you can see, the custom labels stayed perfectly on the bottles, even though the bottles were submerged in ice and water for hours.

babies-love-custom-bottled-water-2 They even passed the rigorous inspection of one of the tiniest party-goers!

men-with-their-beer Next, Erika customized beer labels with silly facts and pictures of her husband.  Everyone at the party had fun reading these facts and it was an excellent conversation starter between people who hadn’t met!

No doubt about it, this 30th birthday party and its custom labels were a hit!  For more photos from this party, please check out our “Graduations and Celebrations” photo gallery.
