Free Printable Dessert Labels + Target Wedding

This post is brought to you by Target, but all content and opinions are my own. Follow along with #TargetWedding.

I basically live in Target, so in my book the Target Wedding Registry is a wedding must-do. Whenever a friend registers there for their wedding, I know I can find something on their list that I'm jazzed to give. Of course, my dessert table designer background factors plays heavily into what I choose. I think Target's "Be Yourself, Together" concept makes perfect sense, since couples usually register for things that blend their styles to start their new life together.

The crew at Target Weddings asked me to pick a few items that I think are essential for wedding registries. I found a ton of things as I strolled around the store. I finally settled on this foxy wooden tray to add a fun DIY to give the couple.

I came up with a dessert-centric DIY that would be a fun addition to the gift. I loved these Lia Griffith labels, and I whipped up these more casual ones for everyday entertaining.

As the newlyweds have a housewarming, invite friends over, and host holiday parties, this bad boy is going to get plenty of use. And, anytime you have lots of guests, you'll have several food sensitivities to consider. Help the couple give their guests the hint about each dessert's contents (Hey, I think that rhymed!) with these witty little labels. Simply print them out, put them in a nice little bag, and give them along with this foxy Threshold tray.

Don't forget to also check out these other registry must-haves:
1) Nate Berkus faceted platter (This is amazing in gold! Imagine how good sweets would look on this.)
2) Threshold Acacia tiered stand
3) Kitchenaid 5-speed hand mixer (Boysenberry and Flamingo are fab!)
4) Anchor Hocking glass jar (Perfect for cookies and candy.)
5) Threshold cocktail decanter

Printable Dessert Labels for All!

Seems like everyone and their mom has some kind of diet or food sensitivity these days, and believe me, I'm included in that category. With Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas around the corner, chances are at least one of your guests will be avoiding some kind of food. These Lia Griffith printable labels make it easy for all of your guests to know which foods work for them, whether they need gluten-free, vegan, nut free, egg free, or paleo-friendly munchies.

If you don't have time to design your own labels, swing by Lia Griffith to print these beauties.

Beautiful Bottle Printables

Imagine my delighted surprise when I discovered that Jillian of Jillian Event Design created another floral-infused edible display to go along with this whoopie pie dessert table that I shared with you last week. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this apple cider printable is a great low-key, low-cost way to dress up each place setting.

You can choose the aqua labels or the red ones to best compliment your holiday decor. If you're looking for a different style, check out the labels editor Maddy Hague designed for our recent Nonpareil Magazine collaboration. You can download them from the current issue (pg 35) in brown, orange, or fuschia.

If apple cider's not your thing, simple remove the label of any bottled drink and replace with your own custom label.

Take a Trip to Somewhere Splendid

My friend, Maddy, has launched a new blog called Somewhere Splendid. The blog is where good food, good decor, and good music go to hang out. The blog features great before and afters that are done by real people, not professionals, so they're actually possible for you to recreate. There are also amazing inspiration photos to help you decorate or plan your next party.

The first post on Somewhere Splendid is a perfect printable for the spooky season ahead.

Maddy designed these potion labels to make inexpensive bottles (you can find them at Michael's or Jo-Ann) great party favors for your upcoming Halloween bash. Simply fill the bottles with pop rocks of any hue and arrange on a table for guests to grab.

Check out Somewhere Splendid to get the free printables and to see Maddy's other great posts.
