I did the template on microsoft word. I can send the template to any one if they like, but you ahve to tweek it based on your water bottle.
I bought the labels off etsy from "print your party"

I am debating about doing these, but also debating the welcome bags as well...

Was it hard to put the labels on without messing them up or sticking them on a part of the bottle where they shouldn't have been? Did you have to find a special way to put them on?

I ask because we are putting labels on water bottles that will be distributed after the ceremony (non-a/c church). We will be doing over 200 of these.

ACtually my Fiance was REALLY good at labeling them. Much better than I was. The labels we got were able to be removed and reapplied a bit. It was hard to keep them even. What fiance did (and he was much better than me) was the center the label on the bottle and push it on in the center. Then roll the bottle to the left so that the label on that side was almost down.Then roll is to the right a bit to stick that label.

At that point you end up with about 1/4" unstuck on each end and you kind of marry them up. I wouldnt say it takes more than 15-20 seconds to do each one.
I found that if you bought the labels that are waterproof or vinyl they have a bit of straetch which helps lining it up.

I also suggest you don't do a design like I did with the lines on the top because then you have to line up the lines and its really obvisous it isn't matched up. its better if its solid.

Also the company suggested not going with heavy coverage like we did, so we did a lot of labels that are white w black and pink type, and the white labels don't look as nice. They show a lot more of hte bumps and lumps in teh water bottles than the colored labels do!
