Weddings!






So I have officially decided to go ahead and get a booth at the WZID Wedding Expo. But I am really nervous about what to have on my table. If you are a bride, were a bride, or have any bridal thoughts at all, please share them with me. I'd love to know what to do with my table: what kinds of things brides are looking for, what colors, what kinds of chocolates, what kind of packaging, how much in a package, basically anything helpful.


I was a bride 8 years ago and had fabulous chocolates on each table at my wedding. Perfect since so many people were chatting and jumping around to different tables, they could snack on little chocolate covered cashews and mini truffles. Delicious!


And since my husband and I had both gone away to college and graduate school, we had lots of out-of-town guests, so we made great hospitality bags to leave at the different hotels. They would have been even better with goodies from The Sugar Mommy!


I recently made the favors for a bridal shower. It was awesome. Since the bride's color was purple, I made purple chocolates (crazy, right!), peanut butter cups topped with purple sugar hearts and wrapped in purple foil, and chocolate covered pretzels drizzled in purple chocolate...all packaged in purple bags with purple ribbon!

Should I Offer Shipping?

I'm trying to figure out the details, but The Sugar Mommy is really trying to work on offering nationwide shipping to customers. I know people have friends and family all over the country and I would love to help you send my fabulous goodies all over.

I also know that people have customers and clients all over America and I want to compete with other food vendors who do offer shipping.

I'd love to hear back from my readers on this topic. Please email me and let me know if you'd be interested in shipping.

Wedding Expo?











My friend Jen Cannon is the director of special events for WZID, the best radio station in New Hampshire. She is in charge of planning their fabulous wedding expo. The Sugar Mommy is going to be providing cupcakes for the brides to devour while they search for a free ring set giveaway.

But my big debate right now is whether to get a booth. There's a lot of planning involved. I would really like to enter the bridal arena: shower and wedding favors, engagement party favors, platters for showers and rehearsal dinners, etc.
I'd love to know what you think about that. Do brides want special, handmade chocolates for their weddings? their showers? on the tables at the wedding?
Here are some pictures of items that could be wedding favors: chocolate box with candy inside, individual chocolate pretzels with heart sprinkles, peanut butter cups with hearts on top, bags of wrapped peanut butter cups.
Let me know what you think!
