Nicole and Chad's monogram and menu

Nicole and Chad are getting married this weekend in Toronto. I can't imagine they'll have anything but perfect weather and a lovely wedding day. We're introduce their day-of-event pieces today with their monogram, based on the "Vanessa," and their menus, featuring stripes and polka dots.

Fiona and Justin's water bottle labels

How cute! Fiona and Justin have a rich cultural heritage and have lived all over the world. They wanted their water bottle labels to reflect their global life. If you can't see the details, click on the image. The word "water" is repeated in over a dozen languages!

You've got a friend...

When baker-blogger-fellow MOT-IU Hoosier and all-around amazing gal pal Beth asked me to help redesign her blog, I couldn't have been more excited. Here's a snapshot of the all-new Kitchen With Brina. Hop on over for her great recipes and commentary, and leave a comment on her post about Custom Printables to enter to win a set of five catalog monograms!

Colleen and Tony's wedding

Colleen and Tony requested two monograms, the "Audrey" and the "Melaina," in two gorgeous colors, dark blue and magenta. When the "S" of their new last initial looked more like an "L," we subbed the font to one of Colleen's request, a great script called Tagettes, which you can find here at dafont.com.




Colleen and Tony also requested water bottle labels, which were done in the "Erin" monogram style (we also replaced the "S" with a Tagettes initial here).



Remember, Custom Printables is happy to substitute any font in our monograms free of charge! Colleen wrote the following review on our vendor site at WeddingWire:

"Valerie was fantastic to work with and provide an excellent product! She was very responsive (I had my order the next day) and made sure I received exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend using custom printables for your momogram and other wedding products!"
