Chocolate Fountain Etiquette Sign

Kimberly S ( formerly Kimberly L ), on April 2, 2012 at 10:33 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 23

I am having a chocolate fountain, as much as we all would like to think our guests know these things, some really don't and are not conscience of proper etiquette. So I designed this sign on Vista Print to hang near the fountain. What do you think? Should I add or take away?

It Says:

1. Children Under 12 Must Be Accompanied by An Adult

2. Please, No Double Dipping

3. Use a Clean Skewer Or Fork Everytime You Dip into the Fountain

4. Skewer One to Two Items Max Per Stick

5. Please Do Not Place Fingers Into the Fountain.

6. Please Do Not Try To Drink From the Fountain.

7. ENJOY!

    I like it. How big will the sign be? I made a sign for one of our parties with directions on how to use something and people said they didn't notice it.

    It was on an 8x11 sheet of paper. The directions were printed landscape on 70 something font.

    Thanks Labake, This is one of the yard signs from Vista Print. Do you think anyone would be offended by the text / word choice?

    I don't think anyone would be offended. I mean, hello, it is common sense after all. However, if it were, you wouldn't need to make the sign right? lol I think it is fine and I would totally be okay with the wording if I were a guest.

    Thanks Mandee, I showed it to one of my co-workers and she laughed. But if only she were a part of WW, and heard some of the things that went on @ weddings and receptions she would understand. Or maybe if it were her own wedding, she would probably understand.

    Kimberly, I just got the funniest mental images of chocolate fountain mishaps like kids sticking their faces in them and you getting in a chocolate fountain foodfight. lol.

    No, they shouldn't be offended. Unless they were planning to drink from the fountain or stick their fingers in it.

    I think it's a great idea, I would make sure to hang it somewhere where people have to read it though. Rules sound good.

    Carrie I love that you know that!

    It's really amazing what you can find on google images. Smiley smile lol.

    Hey question - is the chocolate really hot? I would think it has to stay hot to keep the right liquid consistency, yeah? So based on safety issues alone with the kids, I think your sign is a really good idea. You don't want any little burned fingers. Smiley sad

    Not sure of the temp but it has to stay pretty warm to keep it flowing.

    It doesnt get that hot. You could technically stick your finger in it without burning it. I wont go into details but lets just say I had an incident with one a few years ago :-)

    Ok, so a friend of mine has one. One party I had a little too much to drink (and im clumsy when im dead sober) i tripped and knocked into the fountain. It was an extremely comical scene with me trying to right the fountain and ended up with me picking it up and touching the heating element (now that hurts). As a result, I burned my hands, dropped it and was covered in chocolate from the waist down. The good news is that the chocolate didnt hurt all, just my hands from the heating element
