Every bride wants to make her guests feel welcome on her big day, and adding that personal touch to the tables is a perfect way to do it. It’s Your Choc is a great way to give your guests a personal souvenir of your celebration. The personalised bars of quality chocolate can be designed to suit the theme of your special day. Amy Russell from It’s Your Choc says it’s about giving brides exactly what they want, and retaining their individuality.

Amy says “You can choose a wrapper design and font to compliment your chosen colour scheme. There are spaces front and back to add a message, and you can add in your own photo or logo as well. Some brides have used the bars as a combined place card and favour - it’s a great way of saving money without losing that personal touch.”

Amy keeps a keen eye on customer service and the bespoke wrappers are only printed when the bride is 100% happy with the final design. With over twenty different wedding wrappers to consider, from the traditional to the contemporary and a selection of bar sizes, Amy doesn’t make life easy for the bride, but it’s certainly mouth watering. Since launching, she has had a lot of happy wedding day customers.

” I recently received a letter from a bride who had ordered bespoke bars from us for her wedding. She told me she’d be recommending my chocolates to every bride she met ! ”

There is no minimum order, so It’s Your Choc is perfect whether you’re inviting the whole village, or a handful of your closest friends. Let Amy and her team find a sweet solution to suit your special day.
