			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love working with clients on the design and personalization of their chocolate wedding favors, and one thing I&#8217;ve always been asked about is the best design to have personalized on the chocolates. To this I always answer: there&#8217;s never one particular design that I think looks best; it all depends on individual styles, but one thing that I will definitely suggest is that <strong>less is more</strong>. Simple designs usually have the best impact and visual appeal.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-330" src="http://www.blog.cocoamosaic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/VivianJP_name6b-large-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />&nbsp;<img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-331" src="http://www.blog.cocoamosaic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/VivianJP_date6-large-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Another important detail I suggest to clients is that since the colour of the chocolate is a very dark brown, the personalized image would stand out much more if it had a light coloured background such as ivory or white.</p>

<p>Here are some of my favourite personalized chocolate designs for inspiration. Happy designing! :-)</p>
