Budget: I think this depends on the number of guests, the guest of honor's age and gender.
Expense and budget are all about shopping around.
If you have to have name brand chocolate, you will need a bigger budget for it....
Dollar stores may have excellent options for candies and such, but be sure it's volume and value aren't outdone by your local dept store... ie: Walmart
Hence, the problem with some "dollar stores" they round up instead of down.
Is this party available to do just after a "chocolate" holiday? Hit the stores for clearence candy!
I know some rental stores have chocolate fountains and they are both fun and add some flair to a table, accompany this with a "flower arangement" made of edibles to dip in the chocolate.
You have seen these on TV so there is probably a website to learn how to make one.
You skewer fruit on the end of bamboo Kabob skewers that have been wrapped in green floral tape, and then tuck them into a foam filled flowerpot. Really cute. Use things like marshmellows, strawberries, banana (you could even freeze the banana for variety), pineapple etc.
You can also order things like Hershey kisses and M&M candy with personalized messages on them.
For Decore: This one should be easy, as the new colors for design are the choco brown and robin egg blue and pinks and lime greens.
Make paper flowers out of colored napkins and secure them to some crepe paper, do balloons, or some paper oragami things (find patterns in a book at the library or on the web).
Hope these ideas helped. Budget is in how much of everything you will need. Just do some research.
I've decided to have a chocolate themed birthday party. I'm going to have a chocolate fountain and different types of chocolates, truffles and desserts.
