Hot Chocolate on a Stick Invites

This weekend I am throwing my 4th annual Chocolate Party. Back by popular demand! Since the party is an intimate gathering of friends, I try to put a little more thought into the invites. And since chocolate is involve, I like to also include something chocolate in the invite. Last year, the party's theme was apothecary, so the invites included chocolate pills. Usually I throw the party around Valentine's day, but I've been behind so since St. Patrick's day is around the corner I decided to use the color green in the invite. The weather is still a little chilly out here, so I made hot chocolate on a stick--two per couple and used them as the invites. I followed Giver's Log recipe, and they turned out really good. Very easy and quick to make.



After I made little "hot chocolate on a stick" labels and put two sticks in a clear bag.

And then closed the bags with a large label I made that has all the invite details. I was able to keep everything simple since everyone knows where I live and have all my numbers.
The back of the label had the directions for the hot chocolate.
I put the clear bag in a brown kraft bag and closed with fun green packaging tape.
I got a die cutter machine for Christmas. I'm finally putting it to use and was able to use a fancy tag die to make tags to personalize the bags. I hand delivered each of the invites.
I've still got a lot of stuff to get together for the party. Should be fun!

  4. Oh Darleen-
    Of all the things that I miss from Connecticut, your chocolate party is way up at the top. I hope it goes well, and Jake and I will be sure to embarrass ourselves that night out here just for old time's sake! I might even try to start my own Utah version! :)
