Host a fondue party for a tasty good time.
For an entertainingly unusual get-together, try a fondue party. Fondue is yummy, gooey melted cheese in a pot placed over a heat source to stay warm; items such as bread and veggies are dipped into the cheese. A fondue theme is not only delicious fun; it is also easy to incorporate into every aspect of your party.
Decorated
Get creatively and inventively cheesy when decorating for your fondue-themed party. Hang up some streamers and balloon clusters that are the colors of cheese: white, gold, orange and yellow. Hang a "Fabulous Fondue Party!" banner. Put up strings of white Christmas lights for some sparkle. Make cheese posters by writing the names of cheeses on poster board and adding clip art pictures of cheese.
Musical
One fun idea for something to do at a fondue-themed party is karaoke. Let everyone have a turn belting out songs with titles that are reflective of the theme. "Melt With You" by Modern English, "Eat It" by Weird Al, "Big Cheese" by Nirvana, "Dip It Low" by Christina Milian, "I Melt" by Rascal Flatts, "Chocolate" by Kylie Minogue, "Melt My Heart to Stone" by Adele and "Delicious" by Semisonic are just a few options.
Entertaining
Allow guests to help cook dinner.
Let guests play card games, charades or any party game for the chance to win a fondue gift basket that's stocked with a fondue set, fondue cookbook and some hard cheeses. Play cheese trivia. Call out the name of a cheese and let everyone try to guess what country it's from. Turn on the burners under the fondue pots and let guest participate in heating up and cooking the dipping mixtures.
As party favors, buy an inexpensive set of cheese slicers or spreaders. Neatly print fondue recipes onto index cards; punch a hole in them. Tie a card to each slicer or spreader with orange ribbon.
Delectable
Chocolate fondue makes a decadent dessert.
Of course, fondue will be the featured party food. There is the classic version: melted cheese with bread for dipping. Provide a few different options using different recipes and cheeses. Another option is "fondue bourguignonne," which is when pieces of meat are cooked in pots of hot oil. For any vegetarians in attendance, provide seasoned raw tofu or thickly sliced mushrooms. Serve chocolate fondue with strawberries, banana chunks and cake cubes for dipping for dessert.
