If you’ve seen our homepage lately you may have noticed that our new coasters are one more reason to love My Own Labels. These extra thick coasters are definitely something to boast about and we are pleased to provide a new, improved product! Still available in two shapes, dozens of styles and colors and completely customizable, all of our coasters are now more durable and just as thick as brew pub coasters.
Coasters can be a fun decoration and favor for any event, especially weddings. With a bit of customizing and creativity you’d be surprised by how many different uses a coaster can have. The details and accents of a wedding play an important role in setting a mood for your day, and I’ve come up with 5 unique ways to incorporate coasters into a wedding reception.
1. Signature Drink Recipe Favor
Signature drinks are a great way to add a touch of personality to your cocktail hour and reception. If you plan on having signature drinks at your wedding why not serve them with the recipes on the coasters. Create a set of coasters with your favorite drink recipes and you’ve got a great wedding favor to send home with your guests. Friends and family will be able to recreate these drinks and always be reminded of your happy day.
2. Save the Date
Your save the date is the first impression that everyone will receive. Stand out by sending your guests unique announcements with save the date coasters.
3. Reception Drink Saver
Give your coasters a double duty at your reception by creating fun drink savers. Friends and family can use their coasters to cover their drinks so they’ll be able to dance the night away without having to worry about their drinks being cleared from the table. As a guest I know I’ve lost my last few sips of wine to a diligent bus boy. Drink saver coasters are a fun way to save a lovely glass of wine or an awesome cocktail from the fear of a short lived life.
4. Memory and Advice Coasters
Create a unique guest book with memory and advice coasters. Throughout the evening guests can jot down their favorite memories of the day and lend some words of wisdom and advice.
5. Childhood Photos of Bride and Groom
Mix things up by creating personalized coasters with childhood photos of you and your groom or bride. It’s a great unexpected addition or alternative to a slideshow.
Celebrate your love and who you are as a couple with these simple personalized coaster ideas and let your personalities shine on your special day. Be sure to take advantage of our current coaster sale by enjoying 20% off all our coaster styles now through Feb 28, 2013. Not planning a wedding? Stay tuned for a list of non-wedding coaster ideas.

Wow….such great ideas!
When serving a large group, such as at a wedding reception, it isn’t a good idea to have a drink that contains grapefruit juice or a lot of your guests won’t be able to partake of it. So many people take statins such as Lipitor these days (especially those dads and grandfathers), and grapefruit juice is a hugely forbidden item for them, as it makes the drug up to 900 times stronger. If you do serve the juice as a mixer or drink component, be sure your guests are well aware of its presence and offer a substitute.
