Paper

You can use regular copy paper, card stock, colored, textured or photo paper when making your wrappers.  I have had good success with paper all the way up to the 74-pound card stock.  A great happy Medium is. 32 to 38 pound Brochure paper.  For Weddings, you may want to try a 6 mil Satin or Semi Gloss Photo Paper.

Photo Sticker Paper Works great, but you must overwrap the bar with the original wrapper intact with Foil first. 

We recommend Online Labels for great deals on Self Adhesive Photo Paper.  They also have great deals on everyday lables.

FOIL:

Need Candy Wrapper Foil?  We highly recommend this site

Any Scissors will do the job, but if you're serious about Wrapping Candy, you're going to want to upgrade to a Cutting board.  There are many different types of cutting boards.  If you have kids around, you'll most likely want to keep it locked up, or invest in a $12.00 Fiskars Board Paper Trimmer which is a bit safer, but not as effective for bulk.
