What is guests: Definition and 200 Discussions

I am hoping that those of you who have been doing this a while can help me. I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this is the right place. I was wondering if you could shed some light on how to get control of the crowd when your host and guests kind of disappear and the rest of the time...

i have a shower in 2 weeks.....the host said she has 40 confirmed guest and maybe 10 more! So the question what would be a good demo recipe???

If I enter and invite the guests myself, does it say I'm the host? I am having a party with a very busy host and told her I could do everything but as I'm adding her contacts its saying invited by me. Will it still say its her party? Thanks!

I hosted an Open House/Recipe Tasting over the weekend. Every time I do such an event, I get repeated requests for this recipe or that one and it's really hard to keep up with who wants what and to be sure that I follow through. So, at checkout, I gave each guest this booklet with all of the...

Okay ya'll! I have never had more than 12 at a Show before! I just talked to my Host for tomorrow night and she has 20 CONFIRMED plus everyone was encouraged to bring a guest! I am making 30 guest packets just in case I have that many. We are making Mexican Chicken Lasagna and the Mini Carrot...

I had a show recently and it was going great, we made Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cakes. In the middle of the show the hosts kids came running in and got 100% of the attention execpt for the guests that I asked to volunteer for the recipe. I wasn't able to regain their attention but still got a...

I have recently been using my laptop at my shows (and LOVE IT)...what are you using as a sales receipt for your guests at the show? Seems like a waste to use the 3 part receipts...when I'm really ONLY using one to give them after I enter their order. I've thought about just using an outside...

I had a guest at my last show mention that she had 3 food choppers (no clue why she needs three, but anyway...) and she needed to order 2 new clear collars. So, the $15.90 bill was payed by CC. The same CC that paid for a $156 order. HO called me today and told me the CC for the $15.90...

so i was really hesitant about letting my guests take the full catalog with them home from my shows last week...i don't know why that was i guess i was just seeing money going down the drain once that caddy walked out the door....but boy am i glad i let them!! this morning i got a phone call...

I have my Fall Customer Appreciation Event tomorrow. My director and 4 other cluster-mates and I are all doing it together. We have over 50 people who have RSVP'd. We are now wondering if we're going to have enough food. :DWe are making double batches of everything, but so far we...

When i do the cooking part of my shows it seems that no one wants to help. The same reply is "Ohhh, we just want to watch." So i am always stuck doing the whole receipe. The point of the cooking is to let the guest try the products out so if they are not helping then what's the point? So while i...

Hi everyone, I just wondered what directors give to the guest when you bring a guest to the cluster meeting? Please let me know asap because our meeting is on Tuesday. Thank you.

:)I have a show on Friday night and right now about 15 confirmed so what do you suggest to be the easiest checkout format, I fear that full service might take all night - or should I have them place their orders in my checkout box (rectangular woven basket) and call them one at a time from the...

I had a great show tonight. My host had 16 guests...1 outside order...and I got 1 booking for September. She was at 701.00 when I left and already calling her guest who didn't show up and getting ready to get more outside orders from people she knew weren't coming. I had her call everyone...

Does anyone know the policy on guests? i have a girl interested in signing and she might like to go to conference, but hasn't signed yet. Does she pay the $225 at registration? thanks

Good morning, I have a host who did a show with me last September and she entered 57 names and emails in my PWS for that show. She is doing another show this month and would like those names uploaded into this current show. Is there any way to get the names from a closed PWS show to a...

I just had a host call and say she is getting calls from people who are coming but aren't using the website to rsvp. I've handled it with the host, she actually was stressed because she has had 15 yeses and was concerned that we would have enough food. I think I know why people aren't using...

I'm thinking about putting together a postcard for those guests that checked maybe on the door prize slip, but I didn't get a chance to talk to them at the show. Anyone have any suggestions or anything like this. I can't seem to reach people when I call and most don't put their e-mail address...

Here is a sample menu that I send out in my host packages. It is nothing fancy, but it does offer different choices for the host. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. :sing::thumbup::thumbdown:

At your cooking shows. I have moved over 1yr ago from NJ to VA NJ very congested and populated, VA where I am is not that populated unless I go towards DC area. Since moving I have had a hard time getting a good attendance. I do HOST coach. I'd say I normally I have about 5-8...

The California club pizza? I am doing it next Sat at a show with 12-15 expected. I will be making it this week at home but thought I would check to see what you all thought. TIA!

Can I use evite to invite people and include my website? Or just the info? Or all the info but just not use the words PC? Thanks!

Lately ALL my hosts have been wanting appetizer recipes. I understand this, as they are having a party and want to be serving such things, but how is that helping them with $2 serving meals, and how do you steer them away from the appetizer to the sampling of a meal idea? Thanks!:chef:

I had a show last night. 4 guests, including the host's aunt who's house we were at. $11 in orders, no bookings and 3 SIGNED agreements! WOW! I basically turned the show into a recruiting interview!! They're off getting their shows booked right now and then we'll submit the agreements this...

Ok, does anyone know...Can a host of a show ( here in the USA) have guests order that live in Canada?

HI ladies, I have a few people comming over and made a pie but I also wanted to make a fast appy with easy items to put together for a snack. Any ideas.

For years I have been having the guests make checks out to me...I have been thinking that I would rather have an individual check bounce to me, rather than a whole show...but, I have been thinking of changing that and having guests make checks to host and me getting one check or debit card...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but what do you put together in packets to hand out to guests? Right now, I have the catalog, sales receipt and a file I found on why to purchase and use stoneware. I have a lot of money out right now in booths with my recruiter and the supplies I need to...

I'm trying to decide what I should say when I use the booking slide with a group where a few of the people were just at a show of mine and already saw it. I don't want them to think it's lame or that I have the same spiel all the time, roll their eyes and tune me out. Have you come across...

Ok, so I want this thread to be recipes you have personally made, taken to a show, and it just WOW'd your guests at the show..AND YOU! **If you made any modifications to the recipe at all, share what you did! I'll go first -- MOCHA SKILLET CAKE - I made this for a show 2 days ago, and...
