:: Twelve Romantic Wedding Fonts for Your Wedding Favors ::

With the wedding season fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about making your wedding favors and wedding labels for the big day. Whether your wedding is formal, casual or has a theme, you’ll want to chose a font type that gives the exact impression you want to make. The world of typography is flooded with fonts of all styles and with internet access anyone can download thousands of fonts in an instant. Wading through all of those fonts would take weeks. That’s why we offer a wide variety of web fonts in our design studio, but not so many you’re overwhelmed.

We’ve compiled a list of 12 romantic wedding fonts for making your wedding labels. Each one creates a mood or sets a tone, if you will. We wanted to provide you with a quick resource for choosing fonts so you don’t have to spend a lot of time experimenting, although that can be fun too if you’re so inclined.

Our Top Font Picks for Weddings

So let’s get started with our first pick, Allura. This is what is known as a script font and is designed to look hand-written. It’s a clean-looking font and perfect for creating sophisticated, yet understated wedding labels.

Below is the serif font Lustria. Serif fonts have little “flags” or “tags” on the ends of their letters. Lustria is more polished than the stand-by serif font Times New Roman and has a more refined profile than most serif fonts.

Great Vibes is described as “… a beautifully flowing connecting script.” It has clean loops and a fun look.

Monsieur LaDoulaise is a script font with many looping flourishes and emits a regal feel. For a formal wedding this is a font you may want to consider.

If you’re looking for a script font that looks as if it was written by hand, try Mrs. Saint Delafield. It’s not as formal as Monsieur LaDoulaise. This wedding font gives your labels a personalized feel since it mimics great penmanship.

The font Niconne is reminiscent of wedding fonts from formal invitations in the 1950’s and 60’s. Your parents may have used this font so it’s perfect for brides who are creating the same atmosphere of decades past.

One of the favorites of our customers is Pinyon Script. It’s very similar to BixAntique Script, but maybe not as well known. It’s a romantic flowing, almost showy, but not quite, font.

If calligraphy is your thing you may want to make your own labels with Felipa font. It’s not traditional calligraphy and that’s what we like about it.

A fanciful script font you will want to see is Ruthie. This font is a very stylized script font that is calligraphic in nature. It’s capital letters are very ornate. It looks as if it was handwritten with a very fine fountain pen.

Sofia is described as a “coquettish” and it does feel like a flirty font since at first glance it emits a playful tone. It’s an upright script font which would work well on Bachelorette Party or Wedding Shower labels.

A delicate, genteel handwritten font is Tangerine. It is reported to be inspired by 16th century handwritten manuscripts.

Yesteryear is a connecting script font with a 1940’s feel. If your wedding has a retro theme like something from Mad Men or the 40’s and 50’s you like the look of this font.

Experiment with Fonts

Our label design studio offers hundreds of fonts grouped in the following categories: Sans Serif, Display, Serif, Handwriting, Common, and Popular. These categories save you time when looking for a particular font style. Take some time in our design studio and have fun experimenting with different fonts and soon you’ll see how much difference the perfect font makes. Whether you’re making wedding water bottle labels or gift tags the wide choices we offer in our font library will give you the control you want over your wedding label design.

What Size Water Bottle Label Should I Buy?

February 3, 2014 by Cindy Springer 2 Comments

We sell a lot of water bottle labels at Bottle Your Brand. We discovered sometimes it’s more economical and faster for our customers to buy water bottle labels instead of cases of water. When customers buy our labels for their events, they put them on bottled water brands they buy locally. Probably the number one question we get asked here at Bottle Your Brand is, “What size water bottle label should I buy?” If only we could gaze into a crystal ball to answer that question. To be absolutely sure, you have to buy a bottle of water in your area, pull the label off and measure it, then choose our label size that’s the closest match. We sell water bottle labels in two sizes: 8 inches x 2.125 inches and 8.25 inches x 1.75 inches.

Here Are the Facts:

There is no “typical ” or “normal” water bottle. There are standard fluid ounces sold in bottles, for example 16.9 oz., 12 oz., 8 oz., but the bottles they come in can be very different.
A brand sold in one state, may not be available in the same bottle as that very same brand in another state.
A 500 ML bottle purchased in Houston, is not necessarily the same as a 500 ML bottle purchased in New York.
There are a lot of brands unique to certain geographic areas. Stores in our city don’t sell Ozarka, Poland Springs or Deer Park. We can buy Arrowhead, Refreshe and Crystal Geyser however.
The area on the bottle where you place the label, or the label panel, is different on every bottle. It may be flat or ribbed, wide or narrow.

Reasons Why Bottles Are Different

Why would a a 16.9 ounce bottle sold in Atlanta, come in a different bottle shape than a 16.9 ounce bottle sold here in Seattle, even when the brand name is the same? There are a couple of reasons. One reason is co-branding. Co-branding is a partnership. Sometimes companies form an alliance to work together to produce a product. This enables a company to hold down prices. It’s an efficient way to produce a product as heavy as bottled water. Shipping water from one side of the country to the other can be expensive.

The other reason bottles are shaped differently is because of the blow mold used to manufacture them. The blow mold determines the shape of the bottle. Not all bottled water companies use the same blow mold and some even have custom blow molds made for their brand, ie: Fiji and Evian. You’ll see evidence of this by walking down the bottled water aisle at the supermarket. There are smooth bottles, shaped bottles, ribbed bottles and bottles with raised designs.

Take a look at these bottles we found when we did a search for bottled spring water. These bottles all hold 16.9 fluid ounces (500 ML). Notice their shapes are all different and so are the size and placement of their labels. They were all made with different blow molds, yet they all hold the same amount of water.

The same is true for 12 fluid ounce bottles from major brands.

After reading this post you should have a better understanding why we can’t tell you a brand name when you ask us what label size you should buy. But read on, we have one more thing to help you.

Printable Label Size Guide

To further assist you we have made available a downloadable PDF of all our label sizes. Print the guide and cut out the two water bottle labels. Keep in mind your printer settings should be set on “print to scale” but to be certain, check the guide you printed with a ruler to make sure it printed to size. Take the label cut-outs to the store and wrap them around the bottles you plan to buy.

If you’d like an actual label sample in either size please email us at [email protected] and ask for samples. We’ll need your name and address. We send out free label samples upon request. Please allow ten days to receive your sample. Happy Labeling!
