Get Ready for Upcoming Summer Bridal Showers with a Personalized Party Favor


Summer is the busiest season for weddings, so it just makes sense that it will be a busy time for bridal showers too. In the rush to find a location, send out invitations, register for gifts, and plan games, bridal shower party favors often get overlooked or done at the last second. You may want to plan those first, so when the big day comes, it's one less thing to do.

When choosing a bridal shower favor, it's important to think about a few things:

1.             It should be something the guest will enjoy.
2.             Something relatively small is easier to transport, both for you and the guests.
3.             It needs to be personalized, possibly with the bride-to-be's name, picture, and wedding date
4.             It doesn't need to be expensive. It's just a small token to say thanks.

One of the best favors that meets all these requirements is a personalized candy bar. You can create the wrapper with a photo, the couple's names, custom colors, designs, and sayings. You can even print "Thank you for joining us" or a similar sentiment on the back. It's a small gift that guests can take home, enjoy at a later time, and really feel appreciated that you took the time to create a personalized item just for them.


Personalized candy bar wrappers are easy to create, and won't take up a lot of time. When you're working on your bridal shower to-do list, you can get these done, cross them off the list, and move on to other tasks. Then, it's just a matter of slipping these wrappers on some candy bars and placing them in a pretty basket the day of the shower.
Wedding showers are a lot of fun, but there is a lot of planning that needs to be done. If you're interested in creating a personalized candy bar wrapper for a favor that everyone will love, contact us.

2014 Graduations: Make Your Party Stand Out Above the Rest


So you've got a graduate in the family, which means it's time to start planning a celebration! Whether your child is finishing preschool, high school, or college, you'll definitely want to invite friends and family to join the party! The Class of 2014 graduates will no doubt have a few parties to attend, so make your party something to remember.

1.             Pick an un-popular date. Many people schedule their party the weekend after graduation, so steer clear of those dates. You would have a smaller turn-out because of so many other commitments. Wait a couple of weeks and then throw the big bash.
2.             Plan the food. Food is a great ice-breaker because it gives people something to do. There's something about holding a plate of food that makes it easier to mingle and talk. Go traditional with the grilled meat and salads, order pizza, or do something totally unexpected like sushi and a salad bar. It doesn't matter too much as long as there is food, and lots of it.
3.             Provide entertainment. If you want people to stick around (especially teenagers) invest in some things to keep them having fun. Rent a photo booth, a mechanical bull, or a dunking tank. Hire a DJ to come in and spin the tunes and turn your yard into an outdoor dance party.
4.             Send guests home with a personalized gift. Candy bars with a personalized wrapper are the perfect way to say "Thanks for coming to the party!" You can personalize it by adding a special photo of the graduate, and include any special sentiments, including a poem, a joke, or the guest of honor's name. You can use the school colors, or pick out a unique style such as a wrapper that looks like a cell phone. Get creative and when people tear themselves away from the party, they'll have a little treat they can tear into later to remember what a good time they had.
Congratulations to your graduate! If you're ready to start planning your party and need to create a custom candy bar wrapper, contact us. It will be a great asset in making your party special and unique.
