Big News!

So it's obviously been way too long!
Between moving in April and trying to get settled in the new house and then a few big events, it's been hard to get to the computer...not to mention that for about 3 weeks I was without a computer due to dropping my old one on the floor.
Anyway, here I am, back online and ready to report big news...
EDITOR'S PICK FOR BEST OF NH!!!
So, as a result, I will now be a vendor at the hugely popular and very exciting Best of NH event, which will take place on Thursday, June 24, 5:30-8:30 at the Verizon Wireless Center!
I just participated in the WZID Girls Night Out event at the NH Institute of Art and it was a blast. I met great people and gave away hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of samples...especially in the first 30 minutes.
So get your tickets to the Best of NH event and show your support.

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!

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!
