The bridal shower is the smallest custom-wine event we typically receive. Twenty-four bottles, one per guest, often presented in a small basket at each place setting. The bottle is meant to be opened at home, not at the shower. The shower is the moment of presentation; the bottle is the keepsake.
Brand line: the bride's family name
The bridal shower is hosted by the bride's side of the family. The brand line is the bride's maiden name. The wedding bottle, two months later, will use the couple's adopted household name. The two bottles, the shower bottle and the wedding bottle, sit on the future couple's shelf as a small chronological record of the transition.
The crest
Soft, ornamental, slightly more feminine than the wedding's crest if the family wants. A circular monogram in foil with a floral border. A wheat sheaf with a small ribbon. The shower bottle is allowed to be sweeter than the wedding bottle; the wedding bottle is the household's primary visual identity going forward.
The quote line
Use the quote line for a single short phrase that the shower guests can recognize at home. A wedding date. A street name. A line of advice the bride's mother has been giving her. The guest at home opens the bottle six weeks later, recognizes the quote, and the bridal shower has paid social interest several times over.
