The Superbowl is Coming!

Even though the playoffs have yet to determine who will go head to head at this year’s Superbowl, that doesn’t mean you can’t start stocking up for your Superbowl party!  Whoever ends up heading to Miami in February, you know it’s going to be a good game!

If you start early, you’ll have plenty of time to get your guest list and supplies together.  Have you thought about using custom beer labels as part of your Superbowl party decorations?

These personalized beer labels are great, with fully customizable text and bright, eye-catching colors.  When your guests reach for a cold one they’re bound to take their eyes off the game for just a moment to notice your creativity!

We offer two different football beer labels (Game Day, featured above, and Super Brew), and the great thing about these designs is their versatility.  You can print them to feature which team you support, the kind of beer you plan to serve, or even put them on bottles of soda if you’re inviting children to your party!

We also have a football water bottle label (Flag Football) so if you want to go all out customizing the beverages at your party you can make sure the bottled water looks great too (If you’d like a list of what we consider must-have Superbowl party supplies, check out this post).

Our custom labels take 3 business days to produce and you can choose from a wide range of shipping options to get your labels to you on time.  The labels are completely self-adhesive, so all you have to do is peel off the protective backing and stick them on.

Easy, fun, and custom!

Housewarming Gift Ideas

Housewarming gifts are pretty easy, as gift ideas go.  You can get the proud new homeowners a Home Depot gift card, or buy them a new floormat.  If you’re feeling fancy, you can tie a ribbon around the neck of a wine bottle or spring for a gift basket.  These are all standard, very lovely gifts.

personalized-water-labels-housewarming-gift If you want to go the extra mile, however, or do something thoughtful that’s completely unexpected, we have a housewarming gift idea that will definitely get noticed without requiring a mortgage of its own.  You can snap a photo of the new house and use it to create a personalized, unforgettable keepsake for the new homeowners.

You can customize the label with the homeowner’s names and new address, and then add the photo of their new house.  Put these labels on a bottle of wine (our custom wine labels), a pack of beer (with personalized beer labels), or some “Moving Day Water” (with custom water bottle labels) and you’ve got an affordable, one-of-a-kind gift.  We’re happy to help you customize our label designs, so if you have any questions about color or text changes just let us know!

Homebrewing During the Summer

custom-beer-labels-farmland Homebrewing during the summer can be a hot, sticky mess!  The process of brewing your own beer can be quite warm anyway, but when you add escalating outdoor temperatures to the mix things can get downright unpleasant!  Don’t think for a second that this means you have to relinquish your hobby until fall rolls around, though.  Plenty of people continue to brew their own beer during the summer and live to tell the tale!

We know many of our customers buy our custom beer labels to label their homebrewed beer, and it’s a lot of fun for us to see the names that go along with each batch and read the stories that accompany them.  We have a ton of designs that are perfect for summer brews, and we can also print completely custom designs as well.  With our completely self-adhesive and waterproof labels, you never have to worry about refrigerating your beer or keeping it on ice.  Our label look great no matter where you store your beer!

Here are some ways to help get you through this warm homebrewing season:

  1. Try to maintain a constant temperature.  Places like basements are ideal, as they tend to stay pretty cool and constant in temperature.  Avoid places like metal garden sheds because these fluctuate wildly in temperature.
  2. Let your fermenter sunbathe.  Air it out in the sunshine between brews to prevent it from becoming musty.  Just take care not to leave it in sunlight for too long so as to prevent the plastic from getting brittle.
  3. Keep your brewing ingredients away from direct heat.  If you expose your yeast to high temperatures, you run the risk of reducing its quality and effectiveness.

Keep these tips in mind and you’ll be knocking back your delicious homebrew all summer long!

Summer Beach Party Ideas

personalized-water-labels-beach-games Beach barbecues, surfing, and volleyball; are there any activities as reminiscent of summer as these?  If mountain ski slopes are the home of winter, then the beach must be summer’s residence!  The feel of sand under your toes, the sound of waves crashing on the beach, and the gorgeous colors of a beach sunset are just some of what makes spending a day at the beach so much fun.

Beaches are natural locations for parties, because there’s a little something for everybody.  Playing in the water, hitting a volleyball around, or even just lazing around and taking in the view, no matter who you invite it’s bound to be a good time.  If you’re one of the lucky few who lives close to the beach, take advantage!  Beach parties are perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just about any other occasion!

Here are some beach party ideas to spark your creativity:

  • Shelter.  Beaches don’t tend to offer a lot of shade naturally, so pack up a folding canopy or some umbrellas.  Someone will inevitably forget to put on sunscreen and will appreciate the shade like you wouldn’t believe!
  • Cold drinks.  Beaches get hot, and there’s nothing worse than being parched and stuck without anything to drink!  Pack a cooler or two with ice and load it up beverages.  If you’re feeling extra fancy, use custom labels to spice up your beverages.  How cute would the water label featured above look on some water bottles sitting on the beach?!  Don’t worry, all our labels will withstand water and ice without smearing or falling off.
  • Seating.  Sure, sitting on the sand is fine, but pack along some chairs as well for those who don’t want to or have difficulty sitting on the ground.
  • Ice.  Don’t fall victim to food poisoning!  Keep all your food properly refrigerated by bringing along lots of ice.  Beach parties are fun, botulism isn’t.
  • Activities.  Bring a volleyball net, some sports balls, and wood for a bonfire if you have a pit nearby.  By making sure there’s a variety of activities, you’ll insure your guests don’t get bored, though who can possibly get bored on the beach?

We have some really wonderful summery designs for water, wine, and beer.  Nuptial H2O, Adventurous Red, and Four Star are all perfect for summer, with bright colors that will really pop on the beach.  As far as beach party ideas go, this is a pretty original one!  Just stick on our fully adhesive labels, throw them into a cooler, and have fun!
