Are you doing interactive shows?

The Beckys are on the same wave length! :-) I also take cues from the guests. I just did a show that most were stand offish but once others got involved the got egged on to help and they did. They loved it! We made a trifle so it was simple and not messy.

Thanks...I guess I just need to stick with it more and get some starch in my Big Girl Panties when I pull them up!

Ann, one thing that helps is to coach your host towards an interactive show. Make sure she knows you are trying something new, and that she is talking it up to her guests. Also, on the labels I print up for the invitations, with the show info on them...here is a sample of what mine look like, so that everyone knows before the show:

Ann, we are in the same boat!! I'm still not totally sold. But then again I think I've been trying to make it the "free for all" show, when in I was already doing a partial interactive show to begin with. think I need to go back to my old way.
