Personalize Your Ask! Custom Labels for the Wedding Party

It’s Wedding season! Or, more specifically for the bride, stress season! The struggle of planning a wedding yourself is so real, and comes with it’s own set of highs and lows. Early on it’s so much fun and full of highs that last nearly as long as the engagement itself. One of those moments is when you ask your closest friends to be part of your bridal party. I’m here to tell you how custom labels can make the job easier, or at least prettier.

More and more, couples are choosing to turn a simple “Will you be my bridesmaid/groomsman/maid of honor/best man?” question into a more memorable affair. Opting for a production is definitely adding work to your plate, when a genuine ask is probably all you need. However, it invites your bridal party into the fun and lets them really feel like part of the planning process.

Today I want to talk about a few fun ways to “Personalize Your Ask”. Use this list to make sure your ask is perfectly suited to the person you’re asking. So, here are four types of friends and their perfectly personalized ASK.

The Longtime Friend: You’ve known them since grade-school, you’ve seen each other’s awkward phases and survived epic moments together. For this person, choose a gift that will last as long as your friendship itself. I suggest keepsake jewelry as the way to go here. For guys, cuff links, engraved chef or pocket knives, or personalized money clips are nice options. Click here for the necklace, or here for these cuff links. Don’t stand for plain packaging either. If you need an extra touch, wedding themed custom labels can help you stand out.
The Party Pal or Partner in Crime: This friend has likely held your hair while you threw up, and you love her all the more for it. Together you’ve peed in the shadiest of bathrooms and helped dodge the sketchiest of dudes. For her you need a fun celebratory ask, one that lets her know she’s going to be the liaison for fun on your big day. Reach for custom labels, like these, to add to a bottle of her favorite vino. Or if you have a gang of party girls, glitter-bombed champagne bottles will pair perfectly with custom labels for an ask with POP! For dudes, custom labels that are funny and personalized will pack a punch on a favorite beer or liquor.
The Keeper of Secrets: I suggest going over the top for this friend. Mostly to avoid blackmail down the line. For her I think a Gable box is a perfect fit, stuffed to the brim with all her favorite stuff and topped with, of course, custom labels. No different for dudes, just different goodies inside. Go for high end toiletries and top shelf liquor – guys like to feel spoiled too. Click here for custom gable box labels, including this one and plenty of others.
The Sentimental Sister: This is the friend that will probably sob uncontrollably on your big day, and for good reason. The size of her heart exceeds the size of her body and she is overwhelmed with the feeling of YOUR happiness. For her I suggest something oh-so-sweet and full of thought. Try something handmade paired with a bunch of beautiful flowers in a vessel that will speak to the occasion via a custom label.
