Party Idea - Have a Chocolate Themed Wishing Well

Party Idea - Have a Chocolate Themed Wishing Well

chocolate parties ideas Give that ho-hum party Wishing Well some chocolate pizzazz!  Planning a party or shower for a chocolate lover? Why not transform the standard party Wishing Well into a chocolate bonanza that will delight and excite even a hard-core chocoholic.

Traditionally used for collecting practical household items, like dishtowels and kitchen utensils, a Wishing Well is a popular gift-giving custom at showers and parties. A chocolate theme Wishing Well is a fun and easy spin on this tradition. It's great for those parties where large gifts are inappropriate, but you still want to give the guest-of-honor a little something. Maybe a friend who just received a big promotion, or who needs her spirits lifted due to a breakup.

Here's what you do:
  • Get a large basket, bin, container or box to collect the chocolate goodies in. Decorating the "well" is optional, but in does add a certain festive touch.
  • Ask each guest to bring a chocolate themed treat or food. The item should not require refrigeration and should be unwrapped. If appropriate, place a limit on the dollar value, say $5 or so.
  • When guests arrive, have them place their goodies in the Wishing Well.
  • Surprise the chocolate lover with the bounty!
Here's a list of suggestions that you can print out and place inside party invitations.
