Share your favorite snacks

Help guests stay hydrated
It’s easy to forget to stay hydrated when you’re busy celebrating. After all, we can’t survive on coffee and champagne alone. Personalized water bottle labels add a thoughtful touch while helping guests keep water close by throughout the festivities.
Personalize water bottles for your guests with Avery 22838 water-resistant wraparound labels are easy to customize with your names, wedding colors, or a short message. If the bottles will be submerged in ice or water, choose waterproof labels in the same size instead.
