I have run each of the 13 Oklahoma City Memorial Marathons. It might have something to do with the fact that I was a cofounder of the race….
I had the idea this year that instead of going to the pasta party and wearing myself out, I would have a few people over (runners and non-runners) for an early dinner the night before the marathon.
I was working on invitations (ending up going evite) when the idea for party favors surfaced. After some bouncing around I ended up deciding to label some wine with custom labels and give each couple a bottle to take home. The front label is shown here. There will be a back label with some additional info including the actual wine info for what is in the bottle.
I was playing with “logo” designs when I came up with the wheat in the bottle using negative space. The picture in the background is the race as the runners climb up the Walnut St bridge in the second mile of the marathon. I think this might become a yearly ritual…
