More Than Chocolate Wedding Favors...
Truffles for a Cause was founded in 2007 soon after we were at a wedding (of course), with our daughter who happens to be a wedding planner. We were talking about the current trend in wedding favors when she brought up a problem one of her clients was having. Her client (who loves chocolate), had a question which was "I really want to give my quests yummy chocolate wedding favors, but I would also like to have a wedding donation to a charity that means a lot to me - how can I do both?"
She then began to research companies on line that would fill her client's needs. She was quite surprised and frustrated to find out that there were no such companies. There were however, hundreds of companies that supplied "In Lieu Of" cards and scrolls in support of charities. There were even more companies that featured chocolate weddings favors. But there were none that combined both. She asked me if I had any ideas about how I would combine chocolate wedding favors with a wedding donation and I instinctively said "how about a pretty little box with a chocolate truffle tied with a bow which gives a portion of the proceeds to a charity that the bride and groom pick out themselves."
My husband and I did a lot of talking and planning and we finally decided to launch a company called Truffles for a Cause. We have made quite a few changes since our original chocolate truffle but we have never strayed from our original mission of providing delicious and beautiful chocolate wedding favors that are combined with a wedding donation. Truffles for a Cause is a choice that pleases everyone-chocolate lovers as well as those who wish to donate to their special cause.
