Empty 5cl Miniature bottles

Help.

Getting married in a month. A year ago we made gallons of sloe gin to be bottled about now and put on the table as wedding favours.

The intention was to buy around 100 or so empty 5cl bottles then bottle and label it with our own labels.

Can we find a bottle supplier? can we hell.

Getting slightly desperate now as we need them by 9th October, we can't afford 100 full bottles and what would we do with 500cl of assorted spirits any way ???

Anyone out there point me in the right direction?

PS 5cl of lake district sloe gin to the person who gets me a result :)

Cheers

    Cant help with a supplier for bottles but would be happy to take the contents off your hands LOL
  • You could try emailing this company who sell them full and specially labelled and ask if you could buy them empty?
    Or if they could point you in the direction of empty bottles.

    What about using plastic sample bottles. You could put labels on suggesting to the guests that they 'sample' your sloe gin ;D
