Who's First?
The wedding season is fast approaching and ordering favors for
their guests is at the top of the busy bride’s “to do list,” making
spring a very busy time for all of us at CARSON wrappedhersheys.com.
We have wrapper designs for nearly every theme, color or look the couple is using for their big day. Though we have over 70 wedding designs to choose from, the happy couple can do something completely unique with our Create Your Own option. Whatever they select, personalized wrapped Hershey’s bars make for a fun surprise and a memorable favor for wedding goers.
One question that seems to always go along with ordering personalized wedding wrappers is whose name goes first, the bride or the groom? Everyone wants their bars printed "the right way." We receive many phone calls and e-mails asking which is the proper etiquette.
We advise that there is no right or wrong; it's simply a matter of personal choice. The tradition of the bride's name going first on wedding invitations apparently goes back centuries ago when the young woman's parents would have a dowry to give to the groom-to-be. It was often the case that the bride's parents were paying for the wedding, and considered the true hosts of the event.
Just for fun we conducted an informal poll of CARSON associates and
found them split right down the middle in terms of how to list the
names, with these thoughts:
If a photo design is selected, the names should correspond with the photo; if the Groom is on the left side in the photo, he should be listed first.
The names should sound right when spoken aloud. The way the syllables in the names flow can dictate their order.
Whether you prefer ladies first or the man in the lead, we support your decision!

One thing that has always impressed upon me working here is the way we scrutinize each order that comes in via the website to see if the customer’s information is exactly how they want it to appear on the wrappers. It is not unheard of for a customer to make a typo whilst placing the order. We check and recheck the personalization and then call if we have the slightest inclination the order could be wrong, ruining the favors for a
advise them of the status of their order when UPS is having an issue making delivery. It can be simply that nobody was home, or UPS is having address complications. We see this as very important, and make the necessary calls or emails to get our customers' packages in their hands. This becomes especially important when we have checked the order to see the event date is imminent.
