Sign for chocolate buffet?

Question

We are having an all chocolate dessert buffet at our wedding and need a cute poem to dress it up a bit. Any creative suggestions are welcome. I have seen some for candy buffets but this is all chocolate.

Answer 1

I've said it before on this site and I'll say it again- enough with the cute poems already!!!!  Everyone on here wants a "cute poem" for this or that, and I speak for myself here but I'm sure others will agree with me- nobody likes CUTE POEMS!!  Just let there be a chocolate buffet without a sign, and assuming your guests are of average intelligence, they will get what they're supposed to do, which is eat chocolate.

If you REALLY are bent on putting some sort of sign, use this line from a song in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"-

"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.  Anything you want to, do it.  You can change the world, there's nothing to it."

Answer 2

LOL

i dont have any cute poems offhand nor can i think of anyhting...BUT i think the idea is SUPER cute. I have never seen it done and i would be like "omg what a great idea" if i were to see it at a wedding! Go for it....  :)  

Answer 3

Make sure that the allergy information is listed separately from the poem - you'd hate for someone to skip through the poem (I do that, I just cannot read it as well in verse) and miss that there is contamination from something they can't eat.  

Answer 4

Here is a site that has poems that are all about chocolate:

Another idea might be to have some random quotes from movies/shows - like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Or a quote from the Simpson's when Homer imagines the land of chocolate...just an idea.   =)

Good luck. Hope you find what you are looking for!  

Answer 5

Hickory, chicory, choc,

The mousse was in the wok,

The brownies rose,

The ice cream froze,

Hickory chicory choc.

I know, kinda corny lol but that's the only thing I could find!  

Answer 6

If you can find a poem about chocolate you like that would be great!  You could put that at a prominent place on the table then you could intersperse saying <see below> on little cards among the chocolate choices.  The following quotes were found at  http://www.virtualchocolate.com/quotes.c...  and you can find tons more there.

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces Judith Viorst

A chocolate in the mouth is worth two on the plate.

Chocolate: Here today .... Gone today!

Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! Elaine Sherman, Book of Divine Indulgences

A true chocolate lover finds ways to accommodate his passion and make it work with his lifestyle. One key, not just to keeping weight down and staying guilt-free, but also to keeping taste buds sharp (essential for the professionals who evaluate new products as well as judge recipes), Is being discriminating. Julie Davis of the Los Angeles Times, 10/30/85

This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates.

Answer 7

If so many people want cute poems more people must apreciate them than fizzy thinks...  I happen to adore them  and I am of ABOVE average intelligence lol any way I don't know any offhand, but here's a site that has poems about pretty much everything I linked you to poems about chocolate.  Enjoy your sweet poetry :-)

Answer 8

I like the idea of getting a quote from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (not the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- not really a happy movie) and the chocolate factory. The one fizzy suggested is actually nice, even though her rant was a little rough around the edges. I do think that some of the cute poems people seem to like come off as tacky/cheesey. Willy Wonka is whimsical but appropriate.

IMDB has a page full of quotes, obviously not all of them are appropriate but you may not find something there. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067992/quot...

Answer 9

I agree with the overdose of cute poems.  Do you really need a poem for food?  A poem isn't going to "dress it up" but some pretty decorative bowls and things will.

Here's a photo of a beautiful dessert table-- it doesn't need a poem.
