Design a Favor for a Party or Wedding with a Woodland Theme


If you’ve been looking for a favor for a party or wedding recently, you know that woodland themes have struck it big. Maybe it’s due to the Whispering Wood in Game of Thrones or a general love of nature. In any case, why not go hug a tree while you consider these ideas for more inspiration?

Designing Wrappers for Chocolate Bar Favors: There are many images of forests to share with your guests. Browse through famous examples from fine art like photographer Ansel Adams’ oak trees or landscape paintings by painters like seventeenth century Dutch Meindert Hobbema or nineteenth century French Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot. For a lighter or more contemporary touch, choose a scene from Game of Thrones or one of your own designs featuring your favorite trees and animals.

Party and Wedding Decorations: You can save money and pile on the charm by borrowing objects from Mother Nature. Make wreaths, centerpieces, floor sculptures and other arrangements out of tree boughs, twigs, leaves, acorn and moss. For a wedding or lavish party, you can even rent artificial trees and stumps for a backdrop or for seating. As for your table and buffet settings, use wooden containers and serving utensils.

Party and Wedding Activities: Kids will enjoy a backyard treasure hunt for stones and feathers. A wedding party can wear crowns of flowers or wear their hair in braids trimmed with blossoms. Ask party guests to dress up as lumberjacks or fairies or both. For music, play Celtic tunes or Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony No. 6.

Party and Wedding Food and Drink: Serve nuts and hearty country food. Dine on roasts, stews, potatoes and fresh baked loaves of brown bread. Drink apple cider and ale.

Donate Your Business Specialty Candy Wrappers for Charity Goodie Bags


Business specialty candy wrappers are an ideal way to get more attention
for your brand while you support your favorite corporate charities. When you’re looking for something to donate for the goodie bags, think of custom chocolates.
Your company may be a regular donor to the annual ball for your local hospital or you may be one of the sponsors for a new nonprofit art gallery. In any case, charities are likely to approach you for small gift items they can put in the tote bags they distribute to guests.
Personalized chocolates are a great idea for many reasons:
Visibility: With your logo or custom message on the chocolate bar, guests will be sure to notice you. Otherwise, donors sometimes don’t even realize where the gift came from.

Affordability: Chocolate bars are a great value no matter how big or small the audience is. They’re priced low but still look attractive.
Transportability: People often leave behind larger items that they don’t want to carry. You don’t have that problem with chocolate. Your present may be consumed on the spot or people will take it with them.
Flexibility: You can use one of our standard designs or create any message of your own. Think about providing the standard contact information for your company or add a special message unique to each fundraising event in which your company participates. The options are endless.
Flavor: Of course, your gifts will also taste delicious thanks to our using 100% Premium Belgian Chocolate. That is something you can’t say about all those notepads or key chains.
Contact us to turn an ordinary chocolate bar into a unique promotional gift or party favor. We’ve helped hundreds of businesses create new relationships through this creative approach to corporate events, marketing tools, tradeshows, sales promotions, and motivational and thank you gifts.

Chocolate Ad Specialties Can Help Promote Older Americans Month Initiatives


Older Americans Month will be here before you know it. Just in case you are not familiar with the senior focused, national holiday, it takes place each May. This year’s theme is expected to focus on health and safety. So why not take time out to invest in chocolate ad specialties and use them to promote those two things?
At Sweet Wrappings, we can assist you with designing the ideal chocolate ad specialties, candy bar wrappers, banners and greeting cards for your Older Americans Month promotions. Each one can be custom designed to match each other and your promotion’s overall theme. So there is never any need to worry about congruity.
For this particular holiday, you may want to choose chocolate ad specialties that are shaped in the form of health items that seniors may be familiar with or ones that match your business model. Examples include eyeglasses, medicine bottles, hearing aids, stethoscopes and durable medical equipment. The chocolate could also be molded to feature a bit of text or your firm’s logo. 

If you don’t want to go with custom molded chocolate, promotional candy bar wrappers would make a great alternative. They could be designed without an identifying date. That way, you could order them in bulk and use the wrappers for many Older Americans Months to come.
As far as the chocolate greeting cards go, you could use them as invitations or post-event follow-up promotions. For example, let’s pretend that you decide to host a health fair or senior luncheon for Older Americans Month. You could use the contact information provided by each attendee to create a qualified prospect mailing list. Afterward, you could mail a chocolate greeting card to everyone on the list encouraging them to visit your business.
The indoor/outdoor banner wrappers, on the other hand, are superb when it comes to creating window and entrance displays. You can also string them across a trade show booth or pop-up tent at other people’s Older Americans Month events.
For more information about these and other chocolate ad specialties that would be ideal for Older Americans Month events, please contact us at (800) 449-3948.

Quick and Easy Christening Favors for Modern Families


It’s no secret that for many, christenings are a beloved and essential part of contemporary family life. As such, they are usually accompanied by a semi-formal or formal gathering that includes mementos for the guests. The good news is there are quick and easy christening favors that modern day parents may choose from.
One quick and easy christening favor that parents may want to try involves filling tiny baby bassinets with custom wrapped Hershey’s miniatures. The mini wrappers could be decorated to look like the christening child.  All the parents would need to do is obtain a clear photo of their child and have it printed onto the wrapper.

If large christening favors are desired, there are other options. For instance, parents may want to create candy wrappers that include one or all christening symbols and use them to package full-size, white chocolate bars for each guest. At Sweet Wrappings, we have a variety of readymade Christian symbols on file that would work perfectly with full-size chocolate bars. They could easily standalone or be paired with scriptures and baby photos.
In addition to serving as christening favors, custom wrapped chocolate bars could also be used to create table centerpieces. For example, a custom wrapped christening favor could be attached to the center of a floral foam cross. The rest of the cross could then be filled in with white, faux flowers. Afterward, the parents could place the each of the crosses onto individual stands and set one onto each guest’s table.
Towards the end of the party, the family could play the penny under the tea cup game and award the crosses to the winner. If the game is not an option, the cross centerpieces could always be picked back up by the parents and distributed in another way. For more information about quick and easy christening favors like these, please contact us at Sweet Wrappings. We may be reached by e-mail or phone (800.449.3948).
