I have a bridal shower on May 2nd with 65 expected guests.
The bride is the host so she can receive the host benefits. However, her wedding is May 30th- and I don't want her to have to sort through all the orders when they arrive. (Her gifts and the guests' personal orders). Do you know if I can get the orders shipped to myself but still have her be the host? I didn't see an option for that in P3, and I don't want to pay extra for shipping. Any ideas on this? Thanks!
 
Yes, you just use the shipping address in P3, which you can enter below the regular address.c/o Your name
Your address
Your city and stateKeep in mind the tax is based on the shipping address, so be sure you charge tax accordingly.
 
is there a sister/cousin/mother who is helping her put together the show (co-hosting) that you could ship it to?
 
I do this quite often as a benefit to my hosts. That way I get to make sure that all the items come in.
 


Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming bridal shower! I completely understand your concern about the bride having to sort through all the orders when they arrive. Luckily, there is a solution to this. As a Pampered Chef consultant, you have the option to have all the orders shipped to you, regardless of who the host is. This means that you can still have the bride be the host and receive all the host benefits, while the orders are shipped to you for easier distribution. Simply select the option for "Ship to Consultant" when inputting the orders in P3. This will save you from having to pay extra for shipping. I hope this helps! Happy cooking!
