This custom label set comes with a custom invitation too, so if you have a birthday party to plan, you might want to take a look at all of the adorable inspiration below! Our personal favorite are the cupcakes and the balloon wreath. So creative!

When we ran across this recipe for Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce on Kitchn this week, we got the urge to whip up a batch of our own, create an adorable label and hand them out as party favors and presents to our family and friends this season. Check out the recipe! Sounds delicious…

Rhoda’s Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce
Yields 4 cups

2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. Kosher salt
2 c. heavy cream
1 c. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 t. peppermint extract (substitute vanilla, if you don’t want the mint flavor)

Directions: In a double boiler over medium heat stir in cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the cream and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sauce comes together and is smooth and glossy. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Then, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the peppermint extract. Store in the fridge and re-heat when ready to use.

Storage notes: This sauce is great to packages in glass jars for gifts. When pouring the sauce from the bowl into the jar it is helpful to use a kitchen funnel if you have one available. This sauce will stay in the fridge for up to two weeks or more.

Serving ideas: In addition to ice-cream, this sauce is excellent drizzled over slices of pound cake, cheesecake or a meringue. The version made with vanilla extract is also delicious served with poached fruit.

We are adding new features and designs to the site all the time these days – we can’t be stopped!

Ok, so we know that Halloween only happened yesterday, but its already time to start thinking about the next big holidays and planning ahead. We’ve been seeing holiday parties and ideas all over the place already, so we’re jumping on the bandwagon and saying, better start preparing and ordering your custom wine labels for the holiday season, today! It’s a busy season, so planning ahead is always a good idea.

Custom labeled bottles of wine can be great as hostess gifts during the onslaught of holiday cocktail parties, or work as a beautiful and personal touch and addition to any table at holiday dinner parties. Giving custom wine as a gift to friends and family is a nice touch (especially if you make your own!), and so is simply spicing up the looks of your drink table or bar at your annual Christmas party. There are so many options and reasons to get custom wine labels during the holidays, so check out some of our favorite holiday labels and get to ordering yours. We can’t wait to see what you come up with this season!

Our friends over at Party Box Design always throw the best parties – filled with fun, creative details, beautiful decorations and to our delight, exquisitely designed custom labels! A few weeks ago, Jessica from Party Box Design put together a spooktacular Halloween party with sweet treats, kids in costumes, face painting and even a fantastic bar for the adults. We were lucky enough to create the custom labels Jessica designed for the bottled water, beer and wine at the party – and they turned out so great. Take a look at her party and our products in action, below, and for more be sure to check out their blog. Also, a big thank you to Adele Lee for taking such great shots of all the party details!

We love the color palette Jessica chose – traditional orange and black but spiced up and made a little more modern and fun-loving with the light blue accents.

Isn’t the pumpkin filled with ice a creative way to keep your brews cold at a Halloween party? Fun touch! The chevron pumpkin is pretty chic too.

There are those oh-so-popular cupcake push-ups again! Great party and thoughtful details, Jessica! Can’t wait to do another one with you again soon.

Linda from Frog Prince Cake and Cookie Design recently put together a tropical themed luau for her niece’s 1st birthday, and we contributed the labels for water bottles – take a look at how it all came together – its pretty cute!

Kids wore bathing suits and played on a water slide, and there were hula hoop contests to keep everyone entertained. As for the sweet dessert table, there were creatively decorated sugar cookies, pina colada cupcakes served under a mini tiki bar, brownies, themed candy (check out the Gummi pigs – hysterical!) and a gorgeous cake that was made by Linda herself.

Thanks for letting us be a part of such a special day, Linda! We love the way it all turned out.

We’ve run across a lot of really cute and fun labeling ideas for Halloween – turning regular drinks and treats into spooky treats and deadly potions. Check it out…

Ready to whip up a batch for your next event or party?

Thought so!

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!

Our favorite feature would have to be the mason jar glasses with striped straws and little clouds.

What is your favorite part of this theme idea?

We are crazy about our new Milk and Cookies party theme set. It’s whimsical, fun, a little bit retro (because, let’s face it, the idea of milk and cookies as a snack is a little bit retro) and just the right amount of playful. All in all, the perfect set for a kids birthday party!

We’ve found a TON of inspiration for a sweet party like this. Let’s start with the milk. There are so many cute ways to display it and package it for your party.

Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Kara’s Party Ideas, Half Baked, Pinwheel Lane, The TomKat Studio, The Twinery Blog

We love the idea of the large glass juice containers filled with chocolate or regular milk – this would  also be a great idea for a wedding reception. Using old Starbucks Frappucino bottles, you can give them custom labels and they look like perfect little mini-milk bottles. So many options!

Next up, the most important part, if you happen to ask us – the cookies. Don’t think you have to stick with the standard chocolate chip variety – although, it is delicious. There are plenty of yummy choices – in fact, having an entire “cookie bar” with different types to choose from, is a great idea.

And finally, just because its too cute not to share – we are head over heels for these more “grown-up” versions of the classic cookies and milk combo. Perfect for a wedding snack or mini-dessert at your next shindig – we love the take on making it look like fancy cocktails.

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.

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

Every week we are adding new designs to our collection of invitations and custom labels, and this week its the Party Like a Rock Star set – perfect for a little kid’s birthday party. We love the bright colors and dynamic illustrations and designs on this set – complete with a custom favor label, invitation and water bottle label. This could make for a super fun party – for example: play upbeat music and give the kids their own blow-up guitars to play, give away personalized guitar picks as favors and make sure each kid has a pair of hip sunglasses. Check out some more inspiration below…

Cupcakes: ChickaBug, Music Note Cookies: The Celebration Shoppe, Microphones: Blonde Designs, VIP Pass: Sara’s Party Perfect, Record Place Settings: Hostess with the Mostess

Making VIP Access name tags for each kid is a brilliant idea – fun for them and perhaps it will even help you to keep track of them. Music note cookies are another great idea and easy enough to make and frost at home yourself! Fake microphones are another great party extra kids would have a ball playing with – perfect for singing along to their favorite song.

One of the best ‘Rock Star’ party examples that we’ve seen is this one below, from Hostess with the Mostess – creative and perfectly executed down to the last detail – its a wonderful source of inspiration if you’re thinking about hosting a ‘Rock Star’ party soon! We love the swag bag for party favors, and star shaped cake pops.

Other great ideas? Pop Rocks and Rock Candy.

ROCK ON!

We just added this new custom invitation design to our site last week, and its already one of our all time favorites – its a complete set, so there are coordinating water bottle labels and custom sized favor labels as well. If your little one loves cupcakes, why not throw a cupcake theme birthday party for their next special day? Cupcakes are all the rage these days and there are so many cute decor and activity options. We even saw a party that was decorated with paper cupcake liner garlands – and it was pretty precious!

Aren’t the cupcake liner garlands a brilliant idea for decor? Brilliant, we say!

If your little ones are old enough, organizing a cupcake baking party could be lots of fun. Assemble different toppings and sprinkles in bowls for them to choose from, as well as different colors of frosting. You can even include silly toppers like this mustache one we stumbled across.

One of the most creative cupcake party ideas we’ve seen recently is the Cupcake Fondue idea from Amanda Krueger at Bake It Pretty – how fun does this look!?

We recently created a new invitation and custom label set that would be perfect for any kid’s summer birthday party – boy or girl – The Ice Cream Social. An ice cream themed birthday party allows you to do cute decorations and the kids will love it – they can get involved scooping ice cream, tasting different flavors and even choosing toppings. Just beware of the sugar rush once its all over!

The label we made is completely customizable, so you can change the stripe colors in the background to fit whatever combination and color scheme your heart desires. The smaller custom label can be used for goody bags or party favors like those above. Fill a to-go ice cream cup with little trinkets and candy, and put the custom label on the side. Doesn’t get much cuter than that!

This rainbow label is one of our fresh new designs and we are absolutely crazy about it. Its bright, colorful, fresh, vibrant and so cheerful.

We’ve been making labels for awhile now, but just recently, within the last few months, we’ve added a new category to our label options – custom labels for homemade food, treats, gifts and goodies. They come in a variety of sizes – so you can have one to put on a tiny jar of jam or on a big bag of waffle mix – whatever your heart desires.

Homemade gifts are a great way to save some money and spend time making something for someone special – its thoughtful and if you have a special talent for jam, pie, cookies, sauces, etc, your friends and family will definitely appreciate having your special creations on the shelves in their kitchens.

Custom Homemade Food and Gift Labels from Bottle Your Brand

This first ideas comes from the Room for Dessert blog. They simply took brightly colored soda pop in bottles and attached their own custom labels for each guest at the wedding. The bottles serve not only as a fun favor, or sweet treat to sip on, but also as the guests’ seat assignments. Cute and useful – we love it!

The next project are some adorable custom beer labels for a wedding that we saw on Green Wedding Shoes – we love the playful way they worded the names of their “personalized” beer. Its also a great and stylish idea to make a few different bottle labels that are all in the same color scheme and style – to add some variation to your bottles – plus, its more fun than making just one label. Till Death do Us Porter and Happily Ever Amber? Does it get sweeter than that?!

We’d never even thought about putting labels on a bottle of bubbles until we saw these over on Martha Stewart’s website, but isn’t this a fantastic idea for a kids’ birthday party?

Wedding Paper Divas gave us this sweet idea for favors at a wedding, shower or party. Even if you didn’t have a wedding or party coming up, this is a cool idea if you have a “world famous” cookie, brownie or jam recipe. Share with your friends and family as gifts and a personalized label to make it look all the more professional.

Feeling inspired? Which one is your favorite?

All you need is this: and empty wine bottle and a can of Chalk Board paint – which is easy to find at any local hardware or craft store. After you remove the label, all you have to do is cover the bottle in two coats of the paint and wait for it to dry.

When it’s finally dry, you can create fun results like these:

All you need is a creative idea and a piece of chalk. Wouldn’t these make great decorations on tables at your wedding? You could write the table numbers on them in chalk!

Submitted by one of Ruffled blog’s readers, this is a great project for someone with lots of left over wine bottles…like us! Check out all the details and directions, below:

What You’ll Need:

- wine bottles
- liquid soap
- alcohol swabs, rubbing alcohol, Goo Gone and/or hard dish brush
-spray paint
- quick drying high gloss white spray paint or white primer spray paint
- quick drying high gloss spray in whatever colors you desire
- old sheet, drop cloth or any sort of covering for the surface you will be painting on

Instructions:

Step 1: Submerge wine bottles in warm soapy water until labels easily come off (this can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes).

Step 2: If you are having difficulty removing labels, try holding the bottles under warm water and use a hard dish brush to scrub off excess label/glue. I also find using alcohol or Goo Gone can help with this as well.

Step 3: Make sure soapy water is rinsed out of bottles and let bottles dry.

Step 4: Cover hard surface outside (away from anything you might damage with spray paint) and place bottles on the surface. Spray one thin, even coat of white spray paint or primer on each bottle (note, this does not have to be perfect). Make sure you are not holding the can too close to the bottle or the paint will get on too thick and start to drip. Let dry for about 15 minutes, then you can test the bottles by touching them lightly; if the paint is sticky they need more time to dry.

Step 5: Repeat this step about three more times with the colors you choose. If you are having trouble getting the paint on evenly, put your finger into the bottle opening to pick it up so you can see the bottle at a better angle and spray where needed. Because you are doing several coats, it will not be completely even until your final coat. If you need to do more than three or four coats, that is fine, just make sure they are not too thick.

Step 6: Pick up bottle and spray around the bottom edge so no glass is showing through. Then do a quick spray at the very top of the bottle. Leave bottles out to dry in a shaded place.

Bright, bold and beautiful!

Easter is quickly approaching – have you thought about what you’re going to do to celebrate this year? We’ve been busy looking for Easter inspiration this week – party, favor, invitation and decoration ideas, and then we found these Bunny Brownies over at the No Fuss Fabulous blog.

These would make a fabulous personalized gift or party favor for your Easter celebration this year, and they’re so adorable, we’re pretty sure you’re guests would love them – and the thought and work you put into making them. Check out the recipe below, find a cute jar to hold all the ingredients, and then all you have to do is get some custom labels (we know a little bit about that, just sayin’) – change the name, add your name, whatever you can think of to make it personal and custom. Happy Easter!

BUNNY BROWNIES:

Ingredients and Directions:
1. Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers to crumbs.
2. Layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 qt jar.
3. Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar.
4. Press them up against the glass, but don’t squash them.
5. Carefully spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
6. On top of this pour 1-1/4 cup Easter M&M’s.
7. Spoon 1/3 cup brown sugar into center of M&M’s, gently pressing with a spoon.

Look what we found! We’ve come across a lot of really great ideas for what to do with old wine bottles recently, and lucky you, we just can’t help but share them with you! The latest is from Erik Anderson, from Indianapolis design firm Gerardot & Co. You’re going to want to try these Tiki-esque torches before summer gets here!

1. Empty Wine Bottle (You can use any bottle you like as long as it’s glass and the neck is 1” in diameter. Be clever!)
2. Teflon Tape 1/2”
3. Copper Top Plate Connector (threaded for 3/8”-16 thread rod)
4. 1” Split Ring Hanger (threaded for 3/8”-16 thread rod)
5. 1/2” x 3/8” Copper Coupling
6. 1/2” Copper Cap
7. Two Hex Nuts (threaded for 3/8”-16 thread rod)
8. Two #10 x 1” Zinc Plated Wood Screws (if you’re mounting it to wood)
9. 3/8”-16 Zinc Plated Threaded Rod (I bought a 3’ rod and cut it down to 8, 4-1/2” rods with a hacksaw.)
10. Tiki Replacement Wick
11. Torch Fuel (For safety reasons, only use fuel made specifically for outdoor torches. i.e. Tiki brand)

Helpful Tools: Channellocks, adjustable wrench, hacksaw, power screwdriver, and a funnel. For those having trouble locating the top plate connectors they can be found online: Copper, Galvanized, Stainless Steel, Iron

Safety Note: This is for outdoor use only. Tiki brand recommends that the wick never be set higher than 1/4-inch, and I recommend that you exercise the same discretion and common sense that you would with any small open flame. Never leave your torches unattended.

Building Instructions:

The Hanger:

1. Decide where you want to mount your Recycled Bottle Torch. Position the Top Plate Connector on your mounting surface and mark the holes for where the screws will go. It’s easier to keep it level if you pre-drill your screws first.
2. Once you have your Top Plate Connector mounted you can screw in the 3/8”-16 Rod until it stops. Channellocks are helpful for this part.
3. Thread the two Hex Nuts on to the Rod and tighten one all the way down at the point where the Rod meets the Top Connector Plate. Leave the other Hex Nut at the front end so it can be used to secure the Split Ring Hanger.
4. Thread on the Split Ring Hanger just enough so that the Rod is flush with the inside of the ring. Turn the 2nd Hex Nut counter-clockwise to snug it up against the Split Ring Hanger.

If you’d prefer your hardware to keep its shiny, unweathered look you can always give it several coats of clear polyurethane before you mount it. Personally, I think a weathered patina will add a nice element of character.

The Bottle

1. Carefully and tightly wrap the 1/2-inch end of the Coupling with your Teflon Tape. You want to keep each wrap nice and clean so that it creates a smooth, even surface. Continue building up the tape until it fits very snugly in the opening of your bottle. You obviously do not want it to fall in.
2. Insert the Wick in the Coupling until it sticks out about 1/4-inch or less. The Tiki brand replacement wicks are about 3/8-inch in diameter so they fit really well.
3. Unscrew the Split Ring Hanger on one side and position the bottle neck in the ring.
4. Flip the front half of the ring back into place and tighten down the Hanger evenly on both sides. You may need to loosen the other side to make sure both sides are an even tightness. Do not over tighten the Hanger.
5. Use a funnel to fill the bottle with your favorite torch oil. I use Tiki BiteFighter because it’s clear and seems to do a good job of keeping the mosquitoes away.
6. Insert the Coupling & Wick in the top of the bottle and twist it snugly into place. Give the Wick a few minutes to absorb the oil before you try to light it.
7. I typically just blow my torches out. Use the Copper Cap to keep the Wick dry when you’re not using your torch.

Good Luck!

How cute are these wine bottle candles?!  Kristen, one of our very creative customers, used empty wine bottles and custom wine labels to make unique table decorations at her family’s reunion this summer.

She designed wine labels with her grandparents’ wedding picture on them, and then adhered the labels to empty wine bottles.  She filled the wine bottles with citronella oil, and, drilled a hole through the wine corks, and fed a long wick through the corks and down into the oil.

Instant custom wine bottle candle!

The thing we love about these is that you can store them and re-use them for future events.  All you’d need to do is design new labels for different events and then stick them on over the old labels.  Just think how lovely it would be to sit around outside, talking and laughing by the light of these candles while the bugs stayed far, far away.

Great job coming up with a “green”, DIY party decoration Kristen, and thank you for letting us feature your project on our blog!
