Rehearsal dinner: sign-in and favors




As you know, we’re in love with etched wine and champagne bottles in a big, big way. We've been working on so many of them as sign-ins that it's hard to keep track, but we wanted to share a few...

We think each one is more fabulous than the other - and they look equally amazing etched with something delicate like a hand-drawn tree, or with a striking simple design like the "L+M".

We like the unexpected proportions; the oversized magnum (15" high, 4.5" in diameter) paired with the petite split (7.5" high, 2" diameter). And we love envisioning the magnums with each guests signature and message scribbled all over the bottle.

The splits (first photo) were etched with the couples' custom design (created by j papers) in ivory and were at each place-setting. The matching magnum was used as the sign-in (gold pen included!) We also fire-branded the design onto the sliding lid of the hand-made wooden box; a great way to protect something they will keep forever.

We're in the middle of working on one with a very cool patterned background... we'll be sure to share as soon as it's done!
