Really just typing out my plans here to make sure I didn't miss anything....
Well, today is the day. I am hoping for some good results. I have 20 rsvp's and then a lot of maybe's. I do my cust. app. with a few friends who sell other things but the bulk of the customers showing up are mine. We found a place in town (more central location) and i traded PC products for the rental! It is a nice banquet room that can hold proabably 100 max... perfect for what we are doing.
I am serving:
chorizo dip
Potato chowder
Southwest meatloaf
Mex. Chicken Lasagna
Speedy Pork Fried Rice
the Mint Triangles
mini carrot cake cups
I borrowed a couple DCB's from my friends and I have a chafer to keep the pork dish warm.
I give out tickets for different things: rsvping, bringing a guest, buying $30 or more, etc.. so this year I was smart (I think) and made all the tickets in increments of 5 and then had my husband tear off sets of 5 last night so they are ready to go and we don't have to mess with tickets so much this time! Little administrative thing, but oh well.
OH! I stopped by a bank to invite a girl I know and told her to pass the invite on to her co-workers. The manager heard me and donated a $20 gift card for the drawing if I would set his brochures out. Well, ok.. I can do that!
I have 3 round tables for people to set and talk/eat and I'm going to put the new products on them as centerpieces for folks to look at... I'll have a special table with the green cloth that will have the gifts for people to choose from.
Beverages - tea and water. nothing fancy....
OK, think i'm good. Time to load up and go!
NAPKINS!! Knew I was forgetting something! Thanks CS! That is why I was writing it all out! LOL!!
