Wedding Menu Ideas – Think Beyond Paper to a Wine Label Menu!

April 1, 2022 by Jenny Walters Leave a Comment

There are many people who will give well meaning advice when you’re planning your wedding, but one thing I know for sure is what’s on the menu for your wedding is important. If you’ve carefully planned your menu then you also want to share the cuisine in an incredibly impressive manner. Why not introduce the food in style with a menu on a wine bottle label?

This customizable wedding wine label features mixed faux silver confetti paired with a classy script font in medium gray. Perfect for making a wine label menu.

A wine label menu is taking the standard paper menu to the next level. It’s eye-catching and unexpected, but oh so chic! I think you’ll be excited to see how many options there are to create a wine label menu for each of your table settings. It can be free-style or match your wedding invitations. Either way it’s guaranteed to bring a touch of personalization to your wedding day.

Make a Wedding Menu into a Wine Label from a Digital File

#1 – Start with the Wine Bottle Style

The bottle of wine you plan on using determines what size label works for your menu. Two common bottle styles are Bordeaux and Burgundy. These are the two I’ll reference for creating your wedding wine label menu.

For the 750 ml size Bordeaux bottle both the standard wine label 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches high and the large wine label 4 inches wide by 6 inches high fit. For more impact I think you’ll want to go with the large wine label considering many printed paper menus for weddings run 5 inches wide x 7 inches high. Plus, the large wine label size will easily accommodate a menu. Should you choose a burgundy style bottle then we recommend the standard wine label 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches high.

#2 – Get the Digital Menu File from Your Planner

After you choose your menu label size you’ll want to get the digital file of your menu. Your wedding planner or the company you purchased your wedding set from should be able to email it to you. This file should be 300 pixels per inch resolution and the file format must be either JPG, PDF or PNG. Save it to your PC, laptop or tablet.

#3 – Upload the Digital Menu File

Start on the Make Your Own tab and choose the label size you determined from the bottle style. On the next page choose the quantity and click Design Online. Once in the online designer add your digital file by clicking the IMAGES button to the left of the design canvas. The designer will let you browse your files to upload your digitized menu. Follow the steps to place your order.

How to Make a Wine Label Menu Using a Template

If you don’t have a wedding set that includes a menu, then create a wine label menu using one of our templates. Pick a wedding wine label you like in either the standard or large size. When you get to the text line page simply pass that by and click on the blue Design Online button. Once you’re in the online designer the font style, words, and the layout is up to you. Just delete the existing text lines and replace them with your own words. Add text lines where you need them. It’s that easy. Look at the examples below which are made from our templates. All it takes is adding your own words.

How to Make an Engagement Photo Wine Label Step-by-Step

Choose a high quality, high resolution digital file from your engagement photos. The resolution must be at least 300 pixels per inch. Ask your photographer for the file and permission to use it for this purpose. Some photographers have restrictions, and some are very open to how you use the photos.
Determine if your photo is portrait or landscape orientation. “Landscape orientation refers to horizontal subjects or a canvas wider than it is tall. Portrait format refers to a vertical orientation or a canvas taller than it is wide.” Choose the orientation that will present your photo without leaving white spaces on the edges of your labels. Your photo should fill the entire canvas beyond the red dashes which is where the label is cut.
Decide what label size you need for your wine bottle. This post has recommendations by bottle style and shape. Our standard wine label size is 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches high. The large wine label size is 4 inches wide by 6 inches high or 6 inches wide by 4 inches high. There are other sizes found on the Make Your Own page.
Upload your photo into the online designer. Do this by choosing the ADD IMAGE tool in the design studio. Move the photo by dragging and dropping it until you get the look you want.
Choose the words you want to use and select a font style. Then type in the words. Adjust the font size and color by selecting the font and referring to the Text Options tool bar. Use the Element Alignment tool to center or line up your text.

TIP: Make sure there is plenty of contrast between the photo and text color so the text is readable.

January 1, 2021 by Cindy Springer Leave a Comment

Planning a wedding during Covid-19 is quite different from the way brides went about planning before the pandemic. Weddings by their very nature check off all the boxes for spreading anything contagious, with “close contact” being the major box. Almost every state in the U.S. has set restrictions on how many people can attend your wedding and even where you can host the event.

Restrictions aside, we know many couples are still moving forward and planning small outdoor weddings. With that in mind we offer these ideas for stickers to put on hand gel favors; thoughtful sayings that will make the guests smile and offer a bit of reassurance that you have their well-being in mind.

Saying #5 – Spread love not germs

"Spread love not germs" hand gel sticker. Make your own design or edit this one for wedding party favors.

What Size Bottle Do these Gel Labels Fit?

Each of these labels fit best on 3 oz. or larger bottles. Be sure to check the the size of the bottles you plan to purchase with the label size, which is 3 x 2 in landscape or portrait.

These hand gel stickers are waterproof and colorfast so there’s no worry about the colors running. We tested them with hand gel and anti-bacterial hand spray and they held up perfectly. These stickers are also self-adhesive and will stick to both plastic and glass. Place them right over the existing label or remove the old label to apply the new.

If you prefer to design your own hand sanitizer graphics you can upload them to place your order or you can change the words on one of our pre-made templates.
