One honest note. If the couple ask about ingredients or dietary suitability, point them to the published product information rather than answering yourself.

It helps to choose a maker whose product you trust. Lily O'Brien's gifting O'Brien's has handcrafted chocolates in Newbridge, Co. Kildare since 1992, so the favours arrive as something guests recognise and are happy to keep. That recognition does quiet work at the table.

Personalisation is worth thinking about early. A printed message, a monogram or the wedding date turns a nice box into a keepsake. Ask what the personalisation actually involves before you commit, since some options print onto the sleeve and others onto a card insert, and the two photograph very differently across a long table.

A few practical checks save disappointment. Confirm the image resolution the personalisation needs, since a screenshot pulled from social media often prints softer than you would like. Check the character limit on text boxes before you write your message, and read it back for spelling, because a printed typo is permanent. Look at the proof if one is offered.

Match hampers to clients, share bags to teams, order in good time, and keep the look consistent. Handled that way, corporate chocolate does its quiet job of maintaining a relationship without asking much of you.

One honest note. If anyone at the gathering asks about ingredients or dietary suitability, point them to the published product information rather than answering yourself.
