The Ultimate Party Conversation Piece

personalized-wine-labels-5.jpg Whenever you have a diverse group of guests coming together at a party, it can be a little nerve-wracking.  What happens if no one talks to anyone else?  What happens if everyone leaves because no one has any fun?

A fun trick to get everyone mingling is to use a conversation piece that everyone can relate to.  At the birthday party pictured above, the hostess designed custom wine labels featuring the birthday boy at various stages of his life.  The different labels all had clever names for the wine that related to the birthday boy’s interests, and the guests mingled as they read and enjoyed the labels.

You can use this trick at any kind of party.  Childhood photos, witty wordplay, amusing illustrations, all of these work well on custom wine labels and will give your guests common ground to chat about.  Of course, the wine doesn’t hurt either!  Just make sure there’s plenty to eat and drink and then sit back as all your friends relax and enjoy your party.

Custom Baby Shower Favors

3-x-4-bow-frame-custom-label When you’re planning a baby shower, sometimes it feels like you need twice as many arms and four times as much spare time to get everything done!  Invites, venue, decorations, food, games, favors, there’s a lot to think about and prepare.

While it can be tempting to want to cut corners with the baby shower favors, trust us when we say that these are just as important as the food and games.  Your guests are coming out to celebrate someone you care about, it’s crucial to make sure they know they’re valued and appreciated.  Plus, the right favor can make sure the party atmosphere comes home with them!

An easy baby shower favor idea is to buy some cellophane bags (you can buy them for next to nothing at party stores or online) and fill them with ready-to-go treats.  If you’re feeling ambitious, you can bake a batch of cookies and send each guest home with two homemade cookies.  If you’re short on time, snack-size candy bars work great too.

Tie the bags closed with ribbon that matches your decorations, and then use a custom label to add some pizazz to the whole ensemble.  We have custom baby shower stickers in a whole host of shapes, sizes, and colors, and it’s easy to customize the wording.  If you like the one pictured above, you can customize it here.

Just peel off the protective backing, stick ‘em on, and you have a completely custom (and completely easy!) baby shower favor ready to go!

Custom Wine Labels Make a Big Splash!

museum-of-flight-gala-wine-label We love helping event planners bring their design concepts to life.  Professional event coordinators know that even the smallest décor elements can pack the biggest punch as long as they’re placed wisely.

For example, look at the wine label shown above.  The Museum of Flight, an awesome local museum, hosted its annual Hangar Dance in honor of the anniversary of the first flight of the Boeing B-17.  This gala was a black-tie affair, with dinner, dancing, and cocktails.

Obviously, the décor had to be as elegant as the fine folks attending the event, so the Museum of Flight designed these custom wine labels and had us print them.  They knew they could trust our digital printers to print clear, picture-perfect wine labels that would stay on the bottles and look phenomenal.

kirkland-uncorked We were also pleased to print the labels for a local wine event, Kirkland Uncorked.  Our facilities are actually located in Kirkland, so we were happy to have the inside scoop on what the labels would look like this year.

This custom wine label was designed by Seattle’s Bold Hat Productions.  They were easily able to upload the finished design to our site and we had them printed and shipped in two business days.  These labels will look amazing at this fun outdoor event!

If you’re planning an event soon, please contact us about printing custom labels.  We’re happy to discuss ideas, designs, and pricing with you, so you have the information and resources you need to give your event that little something extra!

Happy Independence Day from Bottle Your Brand!

american-flag As we fast approach this holiday weekend, we want to wish you and yours a very happy 4th of July.  We hope your weekend is full of BBQ, good friends, and bright fireworks!

If this holiday weekend has already got your wheels spinning to plan your own 4th of July celebration next year, here are some easy (and affordable!) ways to put a custom and stylish spin on a BBQ party:

Use Custom Labels to Spread the Word About Your Cause!

women-caring-for-the-community-promotional-water Are you working to support a charity, cause, or organization that relies on the support of the public?  If so, the perfect way to spread the word may just be sitting right in front of you: Bottled water!

Custom bottled water is an easy way to give total strangers access to information about your organization.  You can buy bottles of water from a grocery store, remove the generic paper labels, and then apply our self-adhesive labels onto the blank bottles.  Now you have your information on something people will use and appreciate!

This is an especially effective way to reach large numbers of people at local fairs, farmer’s markets, and events.  If it’s a hot day, people will be drawn to your bottled water display (especially if the bottles are chilled!) like bears to honey.  They stop by, chat with you for a bit, and then leave with a bottle of water, the label of which contains information they’ll take with them.

We love supporting non-profits, and are happy to offer non-profit rates.  Just give us a call and we’re happy to share those rates with you!

Take advantage of the sunny summer weather by hitting the streets with cold bottles of water!  Save the citizenry from dehydration and spread the word about your cause, all in one masterful stroke!
