Personalized Wedding Favors: Perfect No Matter the Wedding Trend

A recent article in The Huffington Post, discussed some of the top wedding trends for 2013. No matter what the trend, those experienced in the art of wedding planning and design know that one of the easiest and most touching ways of capturing a trend or conveying a theme is with the personalized wedding favors used.

Among current top trends are:

•                Revisiting the elegance and sophistication of the past.  Crystal on the table, gold-plated silverware, and elaborate chandeliers, even in outdoor settings.

•                Toned down colors such as grey, taupe, blush, and similar neutral tones. Pops of green or black make bold statements.

•                Tents and camping. Not your usual white tents or canopies, mind you, but fancy linens and wedding decor in safari-style tents. Inspired by superstar Matthew McConaughey's wedding, bridal couples are flocking to emulate his summer camp styled wedding.

•                Peonies. Available only two months of the year, the peony, although wildly popular, speaks both lavishness and romantic grace. Brides are turning to garden roses, which are easier to come by throughout the year.

•                Garlands, Garlands, Garlands! Be they paper, ribbon, or masses of flowers, garlands everywhere set the tone for spectacular weddings.

•                Subtle metallics. Foil stamping enables brides to use silver, gold, or bronze to add a pop of "gleaming" without too much glitz. The result is casual elegance.

•                Plated dinners as opposed to buffets. Following the trend for more sophistication, tablescapes allow the use of gold silverware, splendid linen napkins, crystal set-ups, and elegant touches in making a statement.

•                Personalizing by adding menu items from the couple's culinary heritage. Blended couples mean blended cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. Where better to celebrate pride in one's past than in the food offered to their guests?

•                Spectacular cakes! Not too fancy, not too elaborate. Definitely not too traditional. Be it through color, appliqués, or embellishments, the wedding cake has to boast that Wow! factor.

•                Green and DIY dominate. Where better to make a statement about concern for the planet? Couples are going for recycled, reusable, and tree-free papers and decor. Just imagine decorating the same tree used at your wedding -- all those years ago.

Being able to create custom wedding favors no matter what top wedding trend couples have set their hearts upon remains one of the reasons Sweet Wrappings has become a mainstay of wedding planning over the years. Candy, chocolate, romance, and taste are always in trend, and are guaranteed to remain so. What better way to incorporate a favorite song, photo, illustration, saying, verse, or wedding trend than in the custom-wrapped designs you hand out at your bridal parties and reception?  To learn more about our offerings, contact us or visit our website.

Great Ways to Use Personalized Candy Wrappers to Promote Your Hotel

Domestic and international hoteliers are forever looking for affordable ways to distinguish their lodging properties from the next. We here at Sweet Wrappings understand that. That’s why we’ve come up with several ideas designed to help hoteliers accomplish their marketing goals. Here’s a sweet peek at each one:

Turndown Service

One excellent way to promote you hotel is to use personalized candy wrappers for turndown service. You could opt to go with custom engraved chocolates and personalized candy wrappers or simply purchase the wrappers. The personalized wrappers are a great way to go if you don’t want to store large amounts of chocolate at one time. That’s because the wrappers are designed to fit an array of commercially made candy bars. Thus, you can always store the personalized wrappers in your hotel’s housekeeping area and order the chocolate through your food service purveyors as needed.

Welcome Reception

Who says that hotel welcome receptions have to be all about the wine and cheese? Why not set your facility’s classic event apart by setting up a candy bar station. Dress the table in crisp, rich looking linens and place a chocolate fountain on a raised, center platform. Then fill the remaining table space with delectable in-house confections adorned with personalized candy wrappers. Your guests are bound to rave over your hotel’s efforts.

Gift Shop and Vending

While we are on the subject of bucking convention, consider filling your hotel’s vending machines and gift shop with custom wrapped candies too. They would make superlative souvenirs for your property’s overnight guests as well as fun items for those just stopping by to dine.

Motorcoach Day Trip Party Favors

Does your hotel sell packaged day trips to tour operators and group leaders? If so, personalized candy wrappers should fit right into your plans. For example, let’s pretend that you’re hosting a Summer Cajun Festival or a fall Oktoberfest. We here at Sweet Wrappings could provide you with wrappers and custom chocolates for each one. You could use them to hand out spicy chocolate in the summer and German chocolate in the fall.

Celebrate National Candy Month with an Unusual Candy Wrapper

Did you know that June is National Candy Month? Naturally, we think this is a great month to celebrate, and we have some suggestions for ways to celebrate by personalizing an unusual candy wrapper with a National Candy Month logo on our miniature chocolate bars.

Share the sweet news at your office. Replace the candies on your office reception desk with these special treats, or hand them out at long-running meetings to keep stomachs quiet.

Create a double-sided candy wrapper with National Candy Month on one side and your business logo on the other, to hand out at all your business functions this month, from individual sales calls to the floor of the national convention. Here are some ways to phrase the connection:

•               Sweet Deals available during National Candy Month

•               Surprise your Sweetheart with our [product name] during National Candy Month

•               Sugarcoat Your Message during National Candy Month

•               [Your company’s name] Does it Sweetly during National Candy Month

Or get creative and think of a way to combine your company’s name, or logo, with the National Candy Month theme.

Think beyond the office as well. Share the sweet news with your family, at graduations ("here's to the sweetest person to graduate during National Candy Month") or your annual summer get-together at the family cabin ("the [name here] family enjoys another sweet reunion during National Candy Month!").

Have a special fundraiser, for your favorite non profit organization, focusing on the sweet nature of the work they do, or for your daughter’s sports team, focusing on the “sugar and spice” nature of all those cute little girls.

The possibilities are truly endless for celebrating National Candy Month, so contact us today to order your individually wrapped celebratory candy.
