birthday fun!!

awhile ago i found this amazing idea through greylikesweddings. custom labels on beer bottles! i saved this thinking i could use this one day. {you can see staci's labels over on her blog here.}

as i was researching ideas for aric's birthday (which was yesterday), i thought, what better way than to make him some custom labels for bottles of beer! a creative + inexpensive birthday present. {sidenote - i didn't just get him beer, he did have other gifts as well}

first, i ordered these labels from paper source. have you all been to paper source? great resource for paper + gifts as well! remember the moleskine? i got that gorgeous paper from them.

next, i started designing the labels. i had 2 designs i liked, so i decided to use both and make them cohesive. but it was missing something. all that i had on there was "happy birthday, august 1, 2010" and "happiest of days." brainstorm.brainstorm.brainstorm. yes! i will put funny quotes from the movie "the hangover" on them because we quote it all the time! voila - an idea born. after finding my favorite 18 quotes, i added them to the labels, put "hangover brewing company" on it and printed them out! here they are in all their glory...
