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.

The Best Party Favor For Graduation Celebrations

It is graduation season!  There is nothing quite like the excitement of seeing your child's years of hard work pay off with a diploma. As you celebrate their accomplishments, you can show all of your friends and family just how proud you are of your new graduate.

You don't have to worry about doing a little bragging, when you put all of that bragging on a candy bar wrapper. That's right, you can order customized candy bar wrappers that have your graduate's name and photos as well as some of their biggest accomplishments or favorite memories. When your customized candy bar wrappers arrive, just slip them over a standard Hershey bar and they will make the perfect, delicious graduation party favor.

After your guests enjoy the delicious chocolate inside the wrapper as a thank you for coming to your graduation party (and for the ways that they supported your graduate through the years,) they can keep the wrapper you have personally designed as a memento of the happy day you've celebrated together. They might put it into a little scrap book, display it on their refrigerator or even use it as a bookmark!

Whether your child is graduating from high school or college it is a day worthy of commemorating with a big surprise.  Candy bar wrappers designed just for them will definitely be a memory they will cherish for years to come.

Hershey Bar Wrappers for National March into Literacy Month Promotions

This spring, schools, bookstores, libraries, PTA associations and more will be celebrating National March into Literacy Month with a series of special events. If you and your group intend to promote literacy too, consider doing it with Hershey bar wrappers. Full-size and miniature Hershey bar wrappers ordered now, can be customized in plenty of time for promotional events set to occur in March. Here are few personalization ideas to spark your creativity:

Do think about using Hershey bar wrappers to spotlight various types of children’s books. For example, why not select a Pink Princess wrapper and use it to highlight fairy tales? Sports themed wrappers could be utilized to highlight sports stories and religious designs would be perfect for promoting Bible stories. We’re sure that you get the story genre idea by now.

Don’t forget about children’s authors. They could be featured on Hershey bar wrappers too. There are images of famous authors online that are available for public use. Plus, you may be able to ask photographers permission to use copyrighted photos of the authors too. If you decide to use those types of photos, we’ll need to see written proof that you were given permission to place the images on our Hershey bar wrappers.

Do consider handing out reward themed candies to all of your literacy event’s best readers. We have congratulatory Hershey bar wrappers in stock that could be personalized with the winners’ names. Our Bee Sweet wrapper is a great example. It features a series of books, including one that’s open. The open book’s white space could be used to write-in the winner’s name. It is also big enough to accommodate a small, self-adhesive sticker should you want to print the names at the last-minute instead.
