When preparing for a Valentine's party it's always great to have a theme attached to your occasion. This way, your guests will be much more excited about the big day and feel like more of a part of the party -- whether it's fancy dress costumes or things to bring along with them.
A brilliant scheme that is very popular for a more sophisticated adult party is to host a chocolate-themed celebration. Not only will a majority of your guests love the idea, but it's also very different from other designs and can be particularly fun to prepare for.
First, you need to consider your party decorations. Red and Brown would be good colors to set the theme, as they perfectly complement each other and can be integrated into tablecloths, balloons, and items such as plates, cutlery and banners to help set your chocolately atmosphere.
Chocolate party supplies such as a chocolate fountain with various appetizers to dip into it (strawberries, marshmallows etc), chocolate nibbles and perhaps a chocolate centerpiece like a huge chocolate fudge cake or a specially designed showpiece made from chocolate, will all help create an excellent impression on your guests.
After preparing your party guest list, you now need a party invitation. Now keeping in theme with your party, there are plenty of great ideas scattered across the Web for designing the perfect invitation. Rubber stamps and confetti are always good materials for a homemade design, but there are many places that will design the invitation for you. You could even try designing them with traces of chocolate (although this could get messy).
Party products -- party poppers and ribbons or party blowers can be bought in many designs, but using nice gold shades of color could help keep your party sophisticated. Also, if you're still considering supplying your guests with adult party bags, at the end of the evening, these are the perfect things to add to the selection, along with a thank-you note and themed party goods like a small chocolate selection or mini wine tasters.
Why not have fancy dress with the chocolate theme, and see what costumes your guests turn up in? Chocolate party games and cheesy music -- "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate, for example -- would also be a fun way of entertaining the mad ones amongst your company.
Why not feed your desire for chocolate and start designing your own chocolate party? Yum!
