Fancy a change from the usual kitchen tea with the ladies? More often than not, couples already have a kitchen full of stuff so why not try a bridal book tea instead?!

Everyone brings a book for the couple – it could be a novel, cookbook, design book or whatever they are in to – and writes a little message on these sweet printable book labels to pop in the front of each book.

If budgets are tight you can always bring secondhand books or one of your own previously loved titles.

Just download the labels and print as many as you need on the sticker sheets. Make sure you uncheck ‘Fit picture to frame’ if this is an option on your printer settings, or you may chop off part of the labels.

Cut out the labels and you are ready to go!
