When Will They Receive the Order?

[FancyChef]

I am doing a bridal show on the 23rd, I have one guest that wants to order ahead of time and assemble a gift basket to give as a gift at the shower. If she orders from my website under the host's name and has it shipped directly to her, will it ship now or will it wait until the show is closed? How would I have her order and still make sure the bride gets the host credit?

It will wait until the show is submitted. I don't think there is anything you can do for her to be able to submit the order NOW so she can get it and the bride get the host credit, other than the typical show-order. She'd have to place the order and it just be a regular order/gift that doesn't impact the Bride's shower host credits, if that's what she wants to do. Maybe she can make up a gift basket or card and just put a picture of what it is she's giving her?? Not as much excitement, but she/you can explain she wanted to give her the basket on the 23rd but still get the Host credit as well for the item to be purchased.Not sure if that's much help. Maybe someone else will have other ideas.

If you happen to have the products she wants to order you could do the gift basket for presentation and just tell the bride that the products in the basket will be included in with the others sent with the show and explain that doing it that way is getting her more free products on her wish list.

It would also save the giver the direct shipping cost. There is not a way to order part of a show separately. Another option would be to order enough things for it to be a catalog show so she'd get some host benefit but of course those items added to a larger party would give her more benefits.

I like Beths idea the most.
However, you could set up the Bride's registry and have the friend order off there? I would think this would work.

She does have a registry as well, if the guest orders from the registry will it be sent to her or to the bride?

If she orders off the registry, it would ship sooner. The guest should be able to choose a shipping address. If she has any questions either of you can call HO & see if there's a way to make it work.
