I'm new and have my first show set and need to send out the invitations. My host only gave me email addresses. I'm sure there is already a thread on here but I didn't find one. What is the best way to send out an evite? Should I send them out via the evite website, my personal email (I prefer not to but I can also use my recruiter's website). Any tips on how to do this is much appriciated! I'm also going to print up an invite with the information about a door prize, free gift when you bring a guest, ect. for the host to had out. :confused:
 
If the host only gave you email addresses, I'd have the host send them. Any way that you send them will show your email address in the From field. And that's likely to get them deleted, unless the guests all know you. In this type of situation, it's best to have the host phone everyone with a personal invitation, and let an email be a reminder.

That works.

However, I would try to encourage her to think of people from several different circles in her life. Use the 50 Guests in 5 Minutes flyer with her (It's in the files section on this site).

I have found that you get the most bookings and the best sales when the guest list is mixed. When everyone is from the same circle, you get one booking - because they all figure they'll go to the next show and someone can book off from that show...which is fine, but then they also only spend $30, because they save some of their order "for the next shows".

Just had a show where the host had a great mix of work friends, family, neighbors, church friends, etc... and there were 7 bookings. Had a show the week before, and all the friends were family, and family friends, and got one booking. Actually had a couple people tell me that they would be going to the next show, and one of them will book from there.
 
And, if there's something that comes up in one group of people, then your party won't be a bust. That happened to me several years ago. The host invited almost exclusively people from church, and there was a church emergency that day. Everyone went to that instead of the party.

Thanks for the tips - it looks like its about 2/3 from work and a few outside. I gave her the 50 in 5 and she gave me about 35 names. I'm going to try and do evites for her on the evite website and I did a flyer that I'm printing up on bright paper for her to hand out. THANKS
