Chocolate Party

I love having people over and into my home. It's one of the best ways I have found to really get to know another person. You get to visit without the interruption of waiters, there is no one waiting on your table. A great time can be had by all.
Sometimes its great to host a get together with a theme. The theme I am talking about is Chocolate! What a great girl get together! This is a fun theme that you can go crazy with!
For my chocolate theme party I had a chocolate fountain with cookies, marshmallows, pineapple & strawberries for dipping. My speciality drinks for the evening: mock mudslides, and mudslides. (yummy!) add a special look to these drinks when serving in martini glasses that have been drizzled with chocolate syrup (on the inside) before pouring drink into glass.
I made special seat markers by using scrap book paper which I had printed each girls name on and cutting paper to fit a chocolate candy bar.
Activity: I made a candy quiz (from fun trivia found on the Internet)
prize: chocolate scented candles
party favors: look at my pics! You see the chocolate candies, they are not real chocolate - I found these cute LIP GLOSS that were shaped like chocolate candies. (Four came in a packet for $1.00 from the Dollar General) I placed these on a cake plate by the food everyone was so surprised to find out that they were not real and they were their take home treat (along with their place markers- the candy bars) .
**I try to be on the look out all the times for cute inexpensive items such as the chocolate lip glosses that I can build a party around. (and when they are inexpensive you can afford to give everybody one). Any unique item like that can help you take a generic theme and make it into a special fun evening that others will enjoy and will be talking about the next day.
