Wedding Favor: Cheap Favors Recommended by Leading Financial Publication


If you suspect that the price tag is too high for the average wedding favor, cheap alternatives are the way to go. Now, a leading financial publication has looked at the situation. Their report makes personalized chocolates sound like a sweeter deal than ever.
US News and World Report lists wedding favors as one of the five best places to cut back on wedding costs. A recent article talks about a typical bride who found that about 70% of her guests had left their expensive gourmet chocolate assortments behind on the tables. In addition to that figure, you have to wonder how many people took the box along to be polite and then pitched it out. To add to the pain, she and her attendants had spent much of the night before her wedding carefully hand assembling the packages. According to experts, the average couple is spending $289 on wedding favors alone.
No wonder so many couples would like to save money and time by simplifying their favors. A single chocolate with a personalized wrapper can tell your guests how much you appreciate them without giving them some big box of stuff that they will have to try to squeeze into their luggage for the flight home. Instead of stressing out the night before your wedding to put together an assembly line for finalizing your favors, you can leave all the work up to us. Just give us the design of your choice or we’ll be happy to provide all the suggestions you could want.
We provide custom personalized candy bar wrappers so you can put any design you choose around high quality chocolate your guests will love. Contact us today to find out how we can help you save time and money while getting a favor you’ll love for your wedding or any other event.

Personalized Chocolate Wrappers are Perfect for New Year's Eve Fetes


Before you know it, people across the globe will be raising their glasses and sharing best wishes for a prosperous New Year. If you plan on hosting a New Year’s fete of your own, why not make personalized chocolate wrappers part of the event? They would make charming place cards, party favors, prizes and dessert table add-ons.
At Sweet Wrappings, we have New Year’s themed chocolate wrappers for regular size Hershey bars and Hershey Miniatures. Our readymade New Year’s design options include colorful graphics of champagne bottles, confetti, snowflakes, silver frosted bows, shooting stars and festive, city skylines. The standard bar wrappers are perfect for designs that rely on large font messages, big graphics and photos. The miniatures are obviously best suited for smaller fonts, graphics and photos.
They can also be personalized with your choice of text and family photos.. If you really want to get a “chuckle and aww” out of everyone in attendance, consider adding a family member’s baby photo and refer to them as you know who. As far as the customized, New Year’s themed text goes, a modified version of Joey Adams’ famous quote may look nice. It could read, “May all your troubles last as long as this candy bar and your New Year’s resolutions.”


Adding notable sayings, photos and statements about the previous year’s events would also help to create a one-of-a-kind chocolate wrapper. Brain teasers and riddles that have something to do with the passage of time would make great additions too. There are several places where you can find fun, free brain teasers online. A few places to look are Forbes and Kids Math Games Online.
For more information about celebrating New Years with personalized chocolate wrappers, please contact us at (800) 449-3948. We’d be happy to help you ring in January 2014 in the sweetest way possible.

Candy Wrapper Party Favors for National Cover Anything with Chocolate Day


Candy wrapper party favors are a must for National Cover Anything with Chocolate Day on December 16. It works both ways. Just about anything tastes better covered in chocolate, and any chocolate bar looks better when it is covered with one of our customized wrappers.
There are plenty of chocolate related holidays throughout the year, but most of them are so specific that they can become difficult to celebrate. What if your office vending machine runs out of chocolate covered raisins on March 24 just when you need them most?

On the other hand, covering anything with chocolate is ideal for people who want their entertainment to be clever and simple. The timing could not be better. If you already have guests coming over for the winter holidays, no extra planning is required.
For your favors, we’ll place the design you choose on wrappers covering delicious milk chocolate. Maybe you want to remind people to slow down this holiday season and focus on their loved ones and chocolate rather than excess shopping and spending. You can serve your chocolates by attaching them to your Christmas gifts, handing them out at the door, or spreading them out in bowls.
Make a chocolate covered centerpiece out of a pile of strawberries or balloon animals. If that is too much work, pick up a big chocolate Santa at the drugstore or use a chocolate Easter bunny if you have one leftover. For the rest of your menu, work in some protein with chocolate covered edamame. Try other sophisticated pairings like chocolate covered olives and ginger.
Transform any ordinary chocolate bar into a creative party favor that will amuse your guests. We have something special for weddings, birthdays, holidays or any event that you can name. Contact us to see how easy it can be.

Spice up Holiday Open House Events with Chocolate Bar Wrappers


Are you looking to create a holiday open house and caroling event this year? Do you want to make it unlike any other seasonal event taking place in your neighborhood? Well, we've got a winter event idea that you are bound to be sweet on.
Our unique event idea begins with the purchase of festive, chocolate bar wrappers for each stop on your open house list. We have several Christmas themed candy wrappers that you may choose from. There is even an option that allows you to forgo our holiday templates and create one of your own.
Once you've decided on a handful of designs, come up with a series of clues or directions to put onto the back of each chocolate bar wrapper. The clues or directions should be written in a way that lets the open house participants know where to go next. For example, it could say something like “The Smiths on Reindeer Lane hope you’ll join them for a cup of Christmas sangria.”

When you’ve come up with the wording, check out our back of the chocolate bar text format options. We have three to choose from. Then select the one that can best accommodate your event’s clues or directions. Afterward, place your chocolate bar wrapper order with us.
The day before your holiday open house, drop off the personalized candy bars at each of the locations on your event list. You’ll also want to instruct each location’s host and hostess to hand out one customized candy bar to each attendee before they leave. That way, everyone will know which location is the next stop on the holiday open house tour. They’ll also have charming, edible reminders of the evening’s events.
For more information on utilizing chocolate bar wrappers to perk up your next holiday event, please contact us at (800) 449-3948.

Wedding Unique Favor: Design a Family Coat of Arms in Chocolate


For your wedding, a unique favor can be designed by creating a family coat of arms in chocolate. After all, this is the perfect time to come up with a motto for your new life together and to share it with your loved ones.
First, let’s get a few quick facts about heraldry out of the way. A family crest is one element in a coat of arms. Even if you have received mail offers to buy a coat of arms based on your surname, authentic symbols may be the legal property of the people who inherited them. You can still have fun inventing your own.
In some ways coats of arms are like early brand logos. Think about who you are as a couple, your most important traits, and what you want to achieve. You are probably not going into battle together, but there are still virtues and values you will need to face challenges like raising children, buying a house, and saving for retirement.

You can find templates on line and adapt them for your own use. Pick an animal that evokes qualities you admire like a lion for courage or a bear for strength or an owl for wisdom. Write out an inspiring motto in Latin or English. You can pick something that is light hearted or deeply profound. Look through epic poetry and famous quote books for ideas. Your guests will be delighted to see your new coat of arms pictured on the wrapper of a delicious chocolate bar wedding favor.
We personalize your candy wrappers front and back with any wording on any design so you can create the exact favors you want for your wedding or for any event. Contact us for exceptional customer service that will get your unique favor ideas all wrapped up.

Ideas for Using Choose Custom Bar Wrappers in your Thanksgiving Centerpiece


Having custom bar wrappers made for your Thanksgiving celebration can make your gathering more memorable than ever before. Since your guests will likely be stuffed with turkey and pumpkin pie, you may want to give your candy out as they are leaving. In the meantime, here are some unique ideas that you can use to incorporate your special candy into your decorating scheme so that you will be able to enjoy it all the more.
Take a ceramic pumpkin and place a small pot of mums or marigolds in the center of them. Place candy bars vertically along the perimeter of this pumpkin, and then surround the entire piece with a garland of autumn leaves.
A cornucopia, or horn-shaped basket, is sometimes used in Thanksgiving décor. While it traditionally is used to hold fruit or gourds, it could also contain a few miniature chocolate bars interspersed in between them in order to provide a decorative flair.
Consider using some balloon bouquets in various parts of your home, and then tying a few chocolate bars to the bottom of these bouquets with decorative ribbon. That way, you can allow each guest to take home a bouquet of balloons in addition to their chocolates-and they’re sure to love you all the more for it.
Add your chocolate bars to a grapevine or straw wreath, and then attach fabric ribbon with a Thanksgiving-themed pattern on it. Include a few turkey feathers or pilgrim’s hats to give it a genuine holiday flair.
These are only a few ideas we could think of for incorporating candy bars into your Thanksgiving décor. Don’t wait until the last minute to put your decorations together- contact us today to place your order.
