It's Back-to-PTA Time! Don't Forget to Order the Chocolate Favors

In August, schools traditionally gear up for an influx of new students and that typically means Parent Teacher Association meetings will start to get underway in America too. One of the most pressing tasks for any PTA group is fundraising. The money collected during PTA fundraising events is generally used to directly benefit students. That's why the organization's fundraising efforts are considered so important.

Over the years, PTA groups have tried various ways to raise funds but not all of them have been met with success. One fundraiser that has consistently proven worthwhile is chocolate favor sales. Chocolate favors are something a large percentage of community members can get behind for a number of reasons. For starters, chocolate tastes good and there are low-calorie options available (e.g. carob bars and sugar-free) that many people can appreciate.

Chocolate favors for PTA fundraisers may also be personalized in ways that foster teamwork, school and civic pride. For instance, parents in charge of the fundraiser may get the school's permission to put their logo on the wrappers or simply choose from the educational institution's color palate. They may also opt to go off script and use designs that spotlight a specific sport, holiday, class subject or other theme. Examples include, but are not limited to selling dark chocolate for Halloween and white chocolate for Christmas.

Plus, PTA groups generally have no problem satisfying minimum order requirements. This is particularly the case when PTAs order their chocolate favors from Sweet Wrappings. Our minimum order for full size, completely wrapped chocolates, wrappers and foils is set at a mere 24 items. As such, chances are good that PTAs will sell their minimum orders in no time at all.

Plan an End of Summer Party With Chocolate Bar Wrapper Invitations

With only a few weeks left in summer vacation, you and your kids may be mourning the end of the long, lazy days of summer. Every year it feels like summer goes by a little faster, but there's no reason to let the summer fizzle out without a last big hurrah!

You can make one last epic memory for the summer by throwing a fun end-of-summer party. Invite all of your friends, family, neighbors, and even some of your children's friends that they will be going back to school with along with their families.

Make the whole event memorable starting with the invitation to your party. When you give out a unique invitation, the people you are inviting are more likely to remember your invitation and make room for your event on their calendars.

One great idea for a creative invitation is a customized chocolate bar wrapper. You can design your own wrapper that fits onto a Hershey bar that you can buy at any local store. Your chocolate bar wrapper can have fun photos, quotes or any other design elements you want, as well as the date, time and location of your party. Don't forget to put RSVP information on the candy bar wrapper as well.. Your guests can eat the chocolate bar and keep the wrapper on their fridge until the party to remind them of the big bash you're throwing to celebrate the end of summer with a bang.

Personalized Wedding Favors Without The Stress

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting things you will ever do, it also happens to be one of the most stressful. There are so many little details to focus on. Plus, social media has practically made wedding planning a competitive event. It is really fun to be able to get ideas from the photos people post on sites like Pinterest and Facebook; however, you can also start to feel overwhelmed. Not every detail has to be social media perfect. You can find ways to keep some of the simple things simple while still keeping a creative and personal feel to your wedding.

For example, if you want to give out personalized wedding favors, that your guests will enjoy and remember that doesn't mean you have to spend hours with a glue gun and learn the fine art of calligraphy. You can give your guests a treat instead! Why not, give each guest of your wedding a delicious candy bar, with a wrapper they won't expect. It is simple and easy to order custom wrappers for Hershey bars. You can design the wrapper with photos of the bride and groom as well as details about your wedding. You custom design the wrapper online, and they are shipped to you. So all you have to do is buy Hershey bars and slip the wrappers on for a favor your guests won't forget!
