An Umbrella Theme Baby Shower

Umbrella Baby Shower Custom Label Idea by Bottle Your Brand

When we saw this customer’s label, it was like a little light-bulb went on over our heads. How did it never occur to us that an umbrella themed baby shower was an adorable idea? We think taking the idea of a “shower” literally is a creative and fun party theme idea – and not one that you see too often. Make tissue paper clouds, rain drop garlands, decorate with cute umbrellas, and shower your loved one!

New Party Trend: Push-Up Cakes

We spend a lot of time keeping up to date on what is happening in the party planning and design world these days – and there are so many brilliant creative options out there – from decor and themes, to favors and food. One trend we have seen a ton of recently? The Push-Up cakes and cookies. A little bit like the retro Push-Pop candy, these adorable treats are a fun way to eat and package cookies, cakes and cupcakes – attach a custom label that fits with your party theme and you’re good to go. We’ve even seen them filled with candy…great idea, if you ask us!

Pretty Favor and Party Packaging from Etsy

We happen to love pretty packaging – if it comes in a charming, cute or well-designed package, we usually fall for it. Custom labels are of course, a great way to put that finishing touch on packages and gifts – but beyond that, cute boxes and bags for homemade treats, favors and more, are a great place to get started making your packages look amazing.

We’ve come across a lot of party and favor packaging shops with unique options on Etsy recently, and they are stocked full of charming picks that would look great with your very own custom label. Whether you are an expert pie baker and need boxes to package your goods for holiday gifts for friends, or a cupcake queen that needs a pretty way to carry your little cakes to friends and family on their birthdays – there are a ton of lovely options out there.

Check out our picks from some of our favorite Etsy sellers…

FromSoul has a lot of simple choices for packaging that can be jazzed up with colorful twine, pretty tags and even doilies, lace or ribbon. Each box is sweet and stylish – we especially love the macaroon boxes!

For all of you cupcake fiends out there, Hey Yo Yo has cute little boxes with “windows” to safely and adorably transport your little cakes.

Last but not least, and this store is one of our favorites, we have Petit Moulin. We adore their vintage-inspired choices and minimalist (but charming!) options. The little cherries are our number one pick!

Special Occasion Cookies: Edible Delights from JP Creatibles

Cookies By JP Creatibles, Images courtesy of JP Creatibles

We recently developed a major crush on JP Creatibles, an incredible custom cookie studio located in Ashburn, Virginia, where each cookie is hand-decorated by owner and designer Jen Fisher. Every order than Jen creates is one-of-a-kind because each order is completely custom designed and made-to-order. We are so impressed with her work – the cookies we have seen are like tiny little works of art – so detailed and beautiful, we can hardly believe that they are edible!

We love the tiny ladybug cookies – how precious are they?! Jen’s cookie creations would be the perfect addition to any themed party that you may be planning for the future, or think about her cute monogrammed-style cookies for a wedding favor or treat.

Aren’t her creations amazing? We are constantly ooh-ing and ahh-ing over what she comes up with. Very impressive!

A Whale of a Good Time

Whale Party Kid's Birthday Party Custom Label from Bottle Your Brand

We recently made this cute whale-themed label for a customer, and it got us thinking about how cute a whale party would be for a kid’s birthday party or for a baby shower. Especially during the summer! With little spray bottles and squirters filled with water to keep the kids cool while they run around outside, it would be perfect!

Check out some inspiration for planning your own whale of a good time!
