Put Some Personal Sis Boom Bah into Your July Birthday Party Favors

With July birthdays on the horizon, now is the time to decide which party favors to use for all of your upcoming fetes. Why not use something personal this year, like custom candy bar wrappers? They make wonderful birthday party favors. And they may be used as birthday party invitations, place cards, balloon weights, table centerpieces and more.

Because Independence Day also takes place this month, you could opt to go with a fireworks theme. Select a preexisting wrapper design from our gallery that features fireworks and the American Flag or create a new one. Creating a new design for your birthday party favors is easy. Go through your family photo albums and look for a favorite photo from a previous fireworks celebration.

If you can’t find one at home, go online and look for JPEG photos or graphics that are available for common use. Sometimes you’ll also find great ones listed as public domain. The list of places to look for such images includes Morgue File and Wylio. Just make sure that you read all of the instructions and follow them to the letter. And remember, copyright photos are off limits.

Once you’ve managed to select the perfect fireworks photo, come up with a great message to put onto your birthday party favors. You could keep it simple by using just a birthday greeting or choose to be more elaborate. Examples include using personal birthday poems, catch phrases or a one-of-a-kind tribute note.

Next, choose which colors and text style would complement the fireworks photo and messaging. Then sketch out which layouts you think would work best or ask us for assistance. We offer custom birthday party favor design services for an additional fee. So don’t worry if you can’t figure out how to bring all of the desired elements together. We’ll gladly help.

For more information about our customizable, birthday party favors, please contact us. Our Sweet Wrappings team may be reached by e-mail or by calling (800) 449-3948.

Reveal the Gender of your Baby with a Personalized Chocolate Wrapper

One of the most exciting moments in a pregnancy is when the couple finds out the gender of their little bundle of joy.  The only thing more exciting than finding out for themselves is sharing the news with all of their friends and family.  But instead of just sharing this information via facebook or twitter, why not make this news even more memorable and reveal the gender with a personalized chocolate wrapper?

Sweet Wrappings customized wrappers is a perfect addition to any gender reveal party.  With the array of design patterns, you’re sure to find one that matches the motif of your party whether its pink ruffles and lace to announce your darling daughter or blue sailboats to welcome your bouncing baby boy. In addition to the themes featured on our site, you have the option of creating your own design.  Sweet Wrappings even lets you incorporate your own photos.  (A picture of the expectant couple would be a nice touch.) To create a candy keepsake, be sure to print the date and location.  Once your guests have eaten the chocolate bar, they have the wrapper as a memento to keep or place in their scrapbook. (The grandparents are sure to appreciate that!)

If you really want to keep your guests in suspense, don’t reveal the gender on the front of the wrapper. Instead, write a mysterious message like “He or She? Turn Over and See.”  Then, print your announcement the reverse side of the label for a real surprise!  Another fun and interactive way to keep your friends and family guessing is to fill a piñata with some bite-sized chocolates that are personalized with our mini message wrappers.  Imagine the fun your guests will experience when the piñata opens and they are showered with the gender-revealing candy.

Sharing the gender of your baby should be more than just a text or a conversation.  It should be an experience and with you Sweet Wrappings personalized candy wrappers, it’s sure to be an experience you and your guests can savor.  For further information contact us.

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.
