how about a bit of humour on your personalised label

 


 

Instead of giving your wedding guests traditional sugar almonds , a great wedding favour idea is to give them a 5cl alcohol miniature with your own personalised label as a gift and special memento of your wedding day. Choose from the standard designs or you can have on the custom design label a graphic of your choice, you could for example have a picture of where you are getting married, your zodiac signs, your family name crest, or Scottish clan crest, your own photograph , or you can personalise the bottle label in any way you like - your own novel ideas for the design are welcome ! You can even have a caricature drawing made from your own photographs, with your own theme, and this can then be used on your labels ( this service is in conjunction with honkeydonkey caricatures ). Add one of the special text messages from the booking form, or you can make up your own message then add the bride and groom's names and date of wedding. If you have a theme to your wedding, for example a design that is used on all your invitations and place cards, then your custom label can be designed to match in with your theme. Special design work for your personalised labels is free of charge for orders over 30. A printed sample label will always be sent to you for approval before proceeding with production of your alcohol miniatures. These gifts are suitable for both male and female guests, the male guests usually preferring Scottish whisky miniatures, and the female guests preferring vodka or brandy ( though most guests don't drink them as they want to keep them ! ). This is one of the most popular male wedding favours, as it is very difficult to find suitable gifts at reasonable prices for your male guests. The miniatures are unique for each wedding and are therefore an ideal keepsake for your guests. Guests who have not seen this personalised gift idea before love the miniatures and welcome a change from the usual sugar almonds. Most guests keep their gift rather than drink it, and it serves as a great reminder of your wedding day. As the personalized label contains the details of your wedding day, it also helps when they are trying to remember the date to send you a card on your wedding anniversary !  You can also have these miniatures made to give your guests as a gift for Silver Wedding Anniversary ( 25 years ), Ruby Wedding Anniversary ( 40 years ) , and Golden Wedding Anniversary ( 50 years ) or for Christenings, special birthday or any other celebration or event - label designs and text can be adapted to suit the occasion, or  with the design service you can have a special custom label designed to your own specification ( including photos, logos or created artwork ) for your miniatures..
Special gifts for your special guests delivered to your door !

 


A BRIEF HISTORY

When you give your guests a wedding favour, you are continuing a tradition that dates back many centuries.

Originally, they were  only given out by the upper classes. The custom was especially common among the French and Italian aristocracy.

They were not only given out at weddings, but also at other celebrations.

The original wedding favours consisted of 5 sugar almonds representing fertility, health, wealth, happiness, and longevity.

The giving of these gifts represented the bride and groom sharing their luck with their guests.

A bonbonniere ( the original name for these gifts) was actually a box made of porcelain, crystal, precious stones or metal. with fine delicacies made of sugar inside.

Today, giving such gifts is commonplace
in a variety of ceremonies worldwide.

In the early 1990's, when I first had the idea of personalised labels for alcohol minatures, the border of the label was pre-printed in gold or silver, and your own text message was printed in black using a laser printer.

At that time, it was not possible to economically produce colour printing for the small amount of labels required for a wedding, but the novel idea caught on.

Wedding guests all over the UK were delighted at being given this novel gift. Many of the original miniature bottles are still kept as a memento of the special day.

As technology advanced, it become possible to produce full colour labels in small quantities . It also became possible to scan your own photographs or pictures and include this on the label.

With the sophisticated software and printers available today, almost anything is possible for the design of your labels. Please feel free to contact me with any of your own ieas for the design of your personalised label.
