You all always have such great input, I'd like to know what you would do!
I've had some challenges with my host this Sunday. It took me a few calls to get my first host coaching. The second was fine but she pretty much had no response to her invites. She only sent 12 evites and never did tell me exactly how many postcards.
I tried to call her tonight at the time we agreed, she wasn't home. She left me a msg a few hrs later (we had company so I turned the ringer off). She said she has NO confirmations. And that "she was sure it wasn't what I wanted to hear, it wasn't what she wanted either but a fact of life."
(Now, the company we had over tonight is an aquantaince. According to her, there are 1-2 ppl that are supposed to be going that she heard).
Also, the show is about 45-60 minutes one way, and I am buying ingredients, an incentive I was running when she booked.
I need to call her back tomorrow. What do you suggest I say? Of course, I can tell her to call everyone one last time, and remind them about the Pampered Poker game and that might generate some RSVPs.
I guess I am taking a chance that there might be three people there. I hope it makes a show. She only has one outside order for $15. I'm just concerned I'll spend all that time and money and it won't even make. I do have a $40 order on my "open" catty show I could move over there though to help.
It has crossed my mind that if she's concerned about turnout she could make it a catty show, but I don't want her to feel that I think she's not "worth it" or something. I've coached her all I could. I can't help if she didn't take the advice.
Thanks in advance,
