In our book, Valentine’s Day is the best excuse for a well-planned celebration. We tend to skip the dinner reservations for a cozy night at home with good drinks and even better food. This year, we wanted to channel some nostalgia with a Valentine’s Day fondue party featuring a savory twist. A pot of melty, cheesy goodness acts as the table centerpiece for an interactive experience everyone will love. It’s a concept that works for couples, families, galentines, or whoever happens to be around your table. Simply whip up a quick fondue, assemble your accouterments, and dip to your heart’s content.

We kept our table design relatively simple to focus on the fondue experience. The Boska fondue pot is positioned in the center for easy access, with dipping bites displayed on wooden cutting boards on either side. Knotted French lattice napkins add a festive touch of red while our favorite beeswax candles bring the ambiance.
Our Valentine’s Day fondue party is designed to be a family-friendly affair, so we included a craft to keep little hands busy. You’ll find step-by-step instructions below and, (spoiler alert) it couldn’t be easier to create.
