The only problem I had was that 7" was a little too tall for most of my bottles. I just trimmed off 1/2" from the top and bottom of the labels after they were printed. Easy fix!
There is a template available at:

If you buy the labels online (the company used at the above link was really great), you can download a word template and design your own labels. I'm making a "Mr. and Mrs." one for the sweetheart table.
is there a download-able template?
Has anyone made these? I think its a great idea.
