Free Personalized Tic Tac Labels

natasha 2 Comments

Okay everyone, I hope you are ready for the latest free templates! I am really excited about these. I  have been thinking a lot about favors and how they can be so expensive. That’s why I created these templates. These are labels for Tic-Tac boxes. I created the labels in Microsoft Word, so they would be easy to edit.

 

The Word documents are attached below, and they are fully editable. But before we get to them, have you heard about us? We are Bridal Party Tees, and if you want to make hilarious custom tank tops for your Bachelorette Party, then you have come to the right place! We hope you check us out. Now onto the labels…

 

1. Peel off the original Tic-Tac label. You may need to use a warm wash cloth to get all the glue off but make sure you don’t get any water in the box.

2. Choose from one of the Bridal Party Tees design templates. You can edit the text in Microsoft Word.

3. Print out on 8.5×11, white full label sheets. You can buy these at any office supply store

4. Cut along the dotted line.

5. Peel off back and place on the bottle in the desired location. This label is sized to fit on the front or back of the Tic-Tac box.

Free Wine Bottle Templates: Table Numbers

natasha 25 Comments

wine bottle

Brides, we’ve updated this post with great wine label design templates that you can edit yourselves! See the DIY instructions and files below.

Finding table numbers that are not going to fly away at an outside wedding can be a challenge. That is why I created these wine bottle labels. These wine bottle labels serve double duty at a wedding. They tell the guests where to be seated as well as treating them to a nice glass of wine. The best thing about these table numbers is that even if the guests drink the whole bottle, they are not going to fly away!

DIY:
1. Soak your bottles in a full sink of warm water, or you could use a tub to do many at a time. Soak for about an hour, then peel off original label. Scrub off remaining glue.
2. Choose from one of the Bridal Party Tees Wine Label design templates. You can edit the table number text in Microsoft word to make as many as you need.
To recolor in Microsoft Word: Click on the design to activate it then click on the format tab and then the recolor drop down menu. You can pick custom colors to recolor the background or the design and then you can change the live text to match.
3. Print out your chosen wine label template on 8.5×11, white full label sheets. You can buy these at any office supply store.

4. Cut along the dotted line.

5. Peel off back and place on the bottle in the desired location.

The Symbolism of the Wedding Ring

natasha Leave a comment

Wedding rings have been exchanged as couples exchange their vows for centuries, and in so many different cultures that no one seems to know the origin of this practice.  Obviously, many assume that the shape of the ring (a circle) is indicative of undying love and the continually renewed vows of the married couple.  The circle is also associated with the roundness of the heavens, as well as the return of the seasons.

Rings generally have magical roots, appearing in magical tales, and folklore.  Spells and incantations for the protection of the wearer ate common in themes.  Today, in traditional wedding ceremonies, the rings are blessed by a priest or other religious leader, continuing the symbolic practice of giving the rings protective powers.

In addition, the choice of metals and stones used for wedding bands corresponds with the colors used to represent the sun and the moon, hence the use of silver and gold.  In some cultures, one betrothed is given a silver band to represent the moon, and the other is give a gold band to represent the sun.

Wedding rings are most commonly worn on the third finger of the left hand.  There are several speculations as to why this is.  One reason could be because the Romans believed that a vein ran directly from this finger to the heart.  Another is that the left hand was considered less “pure” than the right, and so wearing something religious and blessed on that hand “draws” the evil out.  It could also symbolize the couple’s willingness to publicize their union in broad daylight.

So there you have it! If you have ever stopped to think about why exactly we use rings to declare our love and fidelity for another, ponder on the historical background of the wedding ring.

As you know, I am a big fan of personalizing the small details of your wedding. That is why I love how Jones Soda allows you to personalize your pop labels. These would make for great wedding favors or as drinks for your guests. They would be absolutely perfect for a casual outside wedding. However, I think I would really like them for a soda bar. You can get a variety of flavors all personalized with different pictures of the couple or images that play off the theme of the wedding. Then arrange them into an old fashioned soda bar with a unique modern twist. I love it! You can personalize your soda on the Jones Soda website. The soda is about $29 for a 12 pack. Start Designing!
