July 2012 Weddings

48 bottles of wine and 5 hours later!

WE ARE DONE!! Today I had 3 of my BM come over to help me remove the labels and put on the custom made ones I got. It was a battle at first but once we got into the rhythm and a way things picked up. 

Soak the bottles in cold water.
Scrape off the labels with butter knives
Rub goo gone on them and scrub off excess stickyness
Soak in warm soapy water
Windex (yes windex) the bottles to remove any greasy goo gone left on
Place new label on

I cant thank them enough for all their hard work. FI cooked us all lunch while we tackled the task. I am SOOO glad I didnt wait until the day before or the week of and am starting all my projects NOW.

I still have 216 bottles of water to relabel. Those will be a hell of a lot easier then the wine bottles.

  • This reminds me of the movie- My Big Fat Greek Wedding (I think??) and they always say Windex is the solution to everything! Ha!!

    Congratulations! Have fun with the water bottles!

  • Good job getting those done ahead of time!!! And sounds like you have some awesome BMs!

    We are doing the water bottle thing too...they are kind of a pain in the butt, but my parents volunteered to do them for me :) It's mostly just hard to get the label on straight as mine are sticky all over. Good luck with those :) At least you can just rip off the old label!
