1. A Chocolate Lovers' Party : Your Very Own Chocolate Festival
Salon Du Chocolat, Chocolate Lovers' Festival, Eurochocolate, Chocolate Rush, Garfield Park
Chocolate Show, Ghirardelli Square Chocolate Festival, these are just some of the best chocolate
festivals celebrated all over the world. And they are usually attended by hundreds of thousands of
chocolate lovers like me. They flock to these events to view and taste fantastic creations from
world-renowned chocolatiers and take pleasure in chocolate inspired activities.
The joy and fun you will experience is doubled when you attend this festival of merriment in the
company of your chocolate loving friends. You will surely get crazy eating loads of chocolates of
different kinds and sizes. Now, you do not necessarily have to spend a lot of money to go to these
festivals why not think of having a chocolate party in your place? You can be an expert party
planner to make this happen, all you need is a little help and some flickers of ingenuity!
Start with the Menu
Don't force a sit down, four course meal. Do it just like you would on a regular barbecue Sunday.
Serve grilled chicken, pork chops, pasta, and mashed potatoes, anything you are familiar with!
Now, the simple chicken pieces and pork chops can be made magical by adding chocolate inspired
sauces like mole, a Mexican, chili-chocolate essential. Round it up with chocolate deserts such as
chocolate cakes, pastries and don't forget to serve a pile of different kinds of chocolates. Make sure
to have tons of them because you will be using them on games and other activities, anyway! You
don't need to buy those expensive gourmet chocolates, just grab the regular ones, your favorite
brands - unless the gourmet chocolates are really what you're going for.
If you want to serve fondue, then prepare fondue matches like marshmallows, pretzels and fruits.
Research on wines that would go well with chocolates and keep the idea for the party! And last of
all, max out on a variety of drinks that could help clean your guests' palates.
Stage the Grandeur
Take out your best linens. If you have chocolate designed-linens, that would be great! You can line
two or three tables with them. One table will be for eating and the other for chocolate and wine
tasting. It can also be a place where you can display desserts that fellow choco lovers may want to
indulge in anytime they want to while in the party.
Decorate your party area by incorporating chocolate brown colors in your design. Set the sound
system and make sure you have great happy music to match the ambiance. And finally, make sure
that your programme is ready along with the materials that you would need in games or activities.
