Lead time is where bulk orders demand respect. Handmade chocolate and any personalisation both need runway, so treat six to eight weeks before the wedding as the point to place a firm order, and stretch that further for dates near Christmas when production is busiest. Confirm your numbers only after the RSVP deadline has passed, and give yourself a few days of margin for the guest who replies late.

A hamper also solves the group-gift problem neatly. When a whole office contributes, the gift needs to feel worth the collection taken up for it, and a full hamper looks the part without anyone having to organise something elaborate. One order, one generous box, and the maths of who gave what disappears into a single considered present.

The case for a mixed collection is simple. It sidesteps the guesswork of a single flavour, it gives him range to work through rather than a box finished in one sitting, and it reads as generous without needing an excuse. Birthdays, a new job, Father's Day, a thank you, or no occasion at all: a large box covers the lot, which makes it the reliable default when you are not sure what else to choose.

Personalisation is worth thinking about early. A printed message, a monogram or the wedding date turns a nice box into a keepsake. Ask what the personalisation actually involves before you commit, since some options print onto the sleeve and others onto a card insert, and the two photograph very differently across a long table.

Anniversaries come in a range of sizes, and a gift that fits a first year rarely fits a fortieth. Chocolate scales neatly across all of them, provided you match the collection and its personalisation to the milestone you are actually marking.
