Can You Serve Wine at a Baby Shower?

August 16, 2010 By Bottle Your Brand 2 Comments

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!

Modern Colors Meet Vintage Styling

August 2, 2010 By Bottle Your Brand Leave a Comment

amelia-vintage-wedding-design Every once in awhile we like to highlight some of our designs that we think are particularly noteworthy.  Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to…”Amelia“.

“Amelia” is a custom wine label that can be used for weddings, bridal or baby showers, birthday parties, or gifts.  Combining modern colors with vintage styling, this wine label design is a tour de force of chic style!

You can use the large central area to add a monogram to this wine label, or you can put something like a photo or date there.  The aqua blue border provides ample room for event details, but the color is bold enough that it stands well on its own.

As always, our wine labels are completely waterproof and print picture-perfect with bright, vibrant colors.  If you’re planning a stylish, modern event with a hint of vintage charm, “Amelia” just might be the label design for you!

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!

There are so many events you can use favor bags at!  Baby showers, bridal showers, birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs; basically, you can use favor bags wherever you need to thank guests for coming to your event.  If you’re feeling slightly more crafty, you can also use favor boxes as well!

You can fill favor bags with a huge variety of tokens of appreciation.  Sometimes the event calls for a little bit of candy, perhaps a selection of the birthday boy or girl’s favorite candies?  Other events call for homemade desserts, like perhaps the bride-to-be’s favorite recipe.

You can also fill favor bags and boxes with bath salts, teas, flower seeds, confetti, or small toys.  It’s very easy to find affordable favor packaging online, and there’s a wide range of styles and colors to choose from.

The one thing that is imperative for making favor bags and favor boxes work for your event is custom stickers.  Our custom favor stickers can feature names, dates, monograms, favorite movie characters, or all of the above, and add a completely personal touch to your favors.

Simply use custom stickers to seal your favor boxes or bags and you’re all set.  Guests will come away from your event feeling thanked for attending, and will certainly notice your attention to detail when they see your custom stickers.

Our custom labels make ideal stickers for favor gift bags.  We offer a variety of sizes and shapes, and our labels have a nice strong adhesive backing so they’ll keep your favors sealed up tight.  You can completely customize the colors, designs, text, and images on our custom labels, so they can match your event’s theme and colors exactly!

If you have any questions about using custom labels as favor gift bag seals, just let us know and we’ll be happy to help you out!

Baby Shower Wine Labels

It might seem counterintuitive to have wine at a baby shower, but it’s actually surprisingly common.  After all, just because the mom-to-be isn’t going to imbibe, it doesn’t mean the rest of the guests at the shower can’t!  Wine at baby showers is a classy refreshment and, when enjoyed in moderation, can help people loosen up a little.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of personalized bottled water at baby showers.  Bottled water and baby showers go together seamlessly, but what about wine?  Well, wine is a surprisingly natural addition to baby showers as well.

The menu for most baby showers tends to gravitate toward sweet treats and light snacks, and wine is a lovely accompaniment to this kind of spread.  Set out a bottle of red and chilled bottle of white in addition to your other refreshments and watch your guests delight over the choices!

Of course, if you personalize the bottled water at your baby shower, you’ll certainly want to customize the wine labels as well.  The great thing about our new website is that now it’s easy to use the same design on multiple products!  You can personalize your water label, and then apply that same design to your wine label in the same order.

We have lovely baby shower wine labels to choose from, and even more water label and custom label designs.  You can mix and match, or coordinate your stickers, wine, and water labels!  It’s a lot of fun to see your baby shower decor come together when the big day rolls around, and even more fun watching guests notice the special touches you included.
