I just made mine using MS Publisher & measured the dimensions on my label against an Aquafina bottle I had.

Very cute idea! I plan on doing this for my wedding too. I am going to have a bucket type thing with ice in it with the water bottles outside of the church for guests! I would love to know where you got the templates from?

I created them using Publisher ( I heart Publisher! ) and I just inserted the image into the document and did the "send to back" selection.

Beth, how did you add the hearts? I haven't figured that out yet?

I made one for my friend's wedding next month. It was supposed to be a surprise but over some wine last week I let it slip (oops)! But now she has seen it and is totally stoked! :)

I just remembered, I did two coats of the varathane just to be on the safe side.

Hope, here is the link where I got the template from.

The ones I posted are NOT finalized, I have to play around with them still (I will most likely make them match her monogram that I'm making and then do the "H" in her wedding colours (pastel pink, purple & maybe some yellow, green or blue).

This is so random, but I just wanted to say that not only is my name Stephanie and my husband's name Robert, but our last name starts with an H as well. How freaky is that?[/quote]

Ok that is totally random & freaky!! You aren't my best firend are you?? LoL

[quote][b]ScoobyFan (7/5/2008)[/b][hr]The labels look wonderful!

I used pretty much the exact same labels for my bottled water! For the paper I used 8 1/2 "X11" sticker sheets (got them at staples) and printed 4 labels per sheet. I then bought some clear Varathane in a spray can and sprayed each sheet of labels with them. This waterproofed the labels so the ink didn't run off the label and onto clothes. I had a blast making them!

To cut costs further, you could print the labels on regular (or better quality paper), varathane them, cut them and then use spray glue to attach it to the bottle. That would save a huge chunk of change!

Here is a pic of two of the four labels. We ended up going with the bottle shape on the left:

They're adorable! I love them! Good job![/quote]

I have a template link @ home, I'll send it to you. It's done via PowerPoints. :)

Very smart! I've considered doing these too, and I wondered how to get around that. Thanks! :)

[quote][b]Miley (7/5/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]sarahandrob09 (7/5/2008)[/b][hr]Just FYI, I often find cases of water on sale at Superstore - 30 bottles for $2.99. Might be a better deal than what you could get at Costco :)[/quote]

I'll keep an eye out. I know @ Costco I get 35 bottles for $3.50 but I'll keep my eye out for deals closer to the wedding.[/quote]

Cool :) I just remember wanting to buy water at Costco (cause it's *supposed* to be cheaper, right?!) but then discovering that it wasn't that great.

My general rule is I don't want to pay more than 10 cents a bottle. But JMO :)

[quote][b]pbz (7/5/2008)[/b][hr]they look really good!!!

what program did you do them on? is this a template you used or did you do it from scratch?

and what do you print them on?[/quote]

I used a template (I have the website saved @ work, I'll post the link on Monday) but the program it used was Power Points.

I'll get some paper with a nice finish on it (not normal paper, maybe something with a bit of a sheen if I can) and print them on that. We'll use all 4 styles (I have to edit the last one & finalize colours with my friend still) and just wrap them around the existing lable on the water bottles. (The "calorie" part is really cute, it's hard to see but it says Love 100%, Commitment 100%, etc).

Great job on the labels![/quote]

They're for the wedding. She's getting married on August 1st & it's an outdoor wedding (by the river in Saskatoon) so we figured since it will be hot it'd be nice to give them a nice cold bottle of water (I'm thinking we'll got o Costco & buy a few cases of water & then put the labels on them & chill them the night before the wedding).

Oops, I just noticed the last one has a red "H" that is wrong. Her colours are pastel Pink, Yellow and Purple & maybe a bit of green thrown in.
