INVITATIONS; using cardstock I created a chocolate bar with a foil sleeve on the back with an opening at the top. I slipped a card with all of the relevant information and chocolate adornments
into the sleeve. DECORATIONS; The party colours were brown and aqua so I decorated the party area with many streamers, balloons, signs, pictures of chocolate and scattered chocolate
everywhere. Out of cardboard I painted 3 human-size chocolat bars and 20 wrapped chocolates to put up on the walls. Throughout the entire party the Willy Wonka soundtrack was playing.
ACTIVITIES AND GAMES; I had many different chocolate themed activities at the party including; COOKING - we baked brownies, made flavoured chocolates and chocolate biscuits. CHOCOLATE SPA -
using recipes of the Merry Chocoholic website we made face masks, bath salts, hand cream and scrubs and had a chocolate spa. CHOCOLATE RACE - have a pile of clothes [socks, pants, shirt,
gloves, hat and scarf places around 2m away from the starting area and a HUGE chocolate bar wraped in many layers of newspaper around 10m away from the starting area. Guests must take
turns to roll a dice and when a 6 is rolled they must run, put on the clothes and start trying to unwrap the chocolate, whilst the other guests keep rolling and when another 6 is rolled, have
them take-over from the existing player. WHen the chocolate is unwrapped they ,ust eat it with a knife and fork. STACK THE OREOS - have guests roll a dice, if a 2 is rolled they must stack 2
oreos on top of eachother, this continues until the tower falls and the last person to successfully place the oroes on the tower wins. CHOCOLATE PUZZLE - using a knife break even sized
chocolate bears into odd pieces and place the pieces in individual bags for each bar. Have guests try and re-assemble the bar, the fastest to do so wins. CHOCOLATE HUNT - this could work to
ways. No. 1 - scatter many wrapped chocolates all over the house and yard for guests to collect or No. 2 - leave clues leading to a,large amount of chocolate to be shared. GUESS HOW MANY
MnM's - count the number of MnM's you van fit in jar, and have the children guess how many they think there is, the closest person wins. LUCKY CHOCOLATE PRIZE - hide a small wrapped chocolate
in 1 person's belongings and the person who finds it in their belongings wins a prize. PINATA - buy a chocolate shaped pinata, fill with chocolate and play as per usual. CHOCOLATE
TRIVIA - have a trivia contest on the origins of chocolate. WHIPPED CREAM CHOCOLATE HUNT - make a large pile of chocolate flavoured whipped cream and plpace many small chocolates [eg mini
MnM's] in it and guests each have 30 seconds to find as many as they can in it blindfolded and not using their hands. CHOCOLATE BINGO - make bingo cards with pictures of common chocolates and
mark the squares off with chocolates, play as per usual. CHOCOLATE TOSS - make targets out of bowls, cardboards etc. and have different targets worth different point values. Guests must toss
chocolates into/onto the targets from a certain distsance away. CHOCOLATE SCULPTING - using many different sized chocolates and biscuits and icing and melted chocolate as 'cement' have guests
build monuments, animals etc. out of the chocolate. MOVIES - try watching Willy Wonka or Chocolat. FEED THE BABY - using only straws guests must feed their partner as many smarties as they
can in a time limit. GUESS WHICH? - blindfold guests and feed them common chocolates and they must guess which it is, the person who guesses correctly most often wins. PAPER GAMES - make
crosswords, findawords, memory games and the like using chocolatey words. CHOCOLATE SONG - guests must create a song with lyrics and an instrumental section with instruments amde of common
household objects and chocolate, film and replay for added fun! You could also try this with a skit form. PARTY SNACKS - chocolate, chocolate ice-sream, chocolate cake, chocolate brownies,
chocolate fudge, chocolate cookies, chocolate mouusse, chocolate fountain, chocolate milk, hot chocolate and iced chocolates. For dinner we had a make your own taco bar and chocolate
fettucine and chocolate nachos [theoretically dessert] but you could have any common party foods eg. pizza, BBQ or pastas. CAKE - we had a mudcake shaped like a block of chocolate. PARTY
FAVOURS- for favours we had chocolate scented pens, stickers, candles, lipgloss, perfume and note-books, as well as chocolate shaped soaps, lipglosses, jewellery boxes and jewellery as well
as piles of chocolate. They were enclosed in assorted old chocolate variety boxes [as large as possible]. I hope my ideas help you plan your own amazing and delicious party!
