I have to give credit to my mom for this idea. Let me explain.
You buy several bags of Hershey Nugget candies (number of bags will vary based on number of guests and how many you want to give each guest) and bought labels. Then she selected several pictures of me and my husband and printed them on labels. She then spent several hours wrapping each candy. Once that was complete she wrapped them in mesh and tied them with ribbon and a wedding charm.
This can be very time consuming, but if you got a group of people together it wouldn't take too long and you work on them in advance so you're not stressed with time. Another idea is you can take the images to a printing facility have them print the labels for you.
Now as far as ways to customize these candies to fit your event:
Engagement Party - You can use engagement photos or photos from while they were dating and tie a tag onto them that says something along the lines of "We look forward to seeing you (insert wedding date here)" or you can use word art on the labels and insert "Congratulations (Insert Names Here)"
Bridal Shower - Again you can use engagement photos or photos of the couple from while they were dating and customize the label itself with word art or if there is a color theme for the shower that can be incorporated with the background on the label or ribbon. Another idea is if you are doing a lingerie party maybe use fish net stocking type material to wrap the chocolates.
Welcome Bag/Wedding Favor - If you are going for a specific look for your wedding again colors can easily be incorporated with ribbon or background on labels. Or if you are going for a rustic look maybe you print the labels in sepia. Or for a vintage look print in black and white. Or if the setting of your wedding is the focus maybe use photos just taken in that setting. Or you can even take photos just for these candies and dress specifically for that theme.
