Easy DIY Engagement Gift
December seems to have also become known as ‘Engagement Season’, since The Question often gets popped around the holidays, with friends and family there to celebrate. With so many loved ones getting engaged recently, I’ve had a hard time keeping up with all the gifts!
I always want to celebrate a couple with something that they will truly appreciate, and as cheesy as it is, booze is almost always a winner. It just works a little better when it’s personalized, and you really don’t need much to bring the classic bottle to the next level. I started doing these customized ‘HIs & Hers’ bottles a few years ago, starting with my cousin Jamie’s engagement party, and they have been a hit every time since.
Here is the step by step process of how I build them AND I’ve included a free PDF template you can download for the labels to personalize for your happy couple!

Check out these spots in person or through the links for some discounts!
