I have a few questions. My newest team member had someone at her first show ask about bridal registries. I know she can't set up a bridal registry until she's qualified and has a website but is it possible to do a bridal shower? I don't know how soon I just want to have more answers before I get back to her. Thanks
 
a shower is just like doing a show and anyone can do that at any time, but the registry can not be done until she sets up her website
 
When you go to PamperedChef.com and create a registry, you can enter a consultant ID number. So you CAN have a registry under your consultant number without having a website.
 
You CAN set up a website without being qualified also. You will have to pay upfront but will get the credit for 3 months after you are qualified. Not sure if it's instantly after you qualify or if it's the next 3 months after the current time expires. I think it's right after you qualify, you get the credit.

I wish I had known that I could have set it up right away. It would have made my kick-off show easier and even more in total sales.

But yes- once she qualifies, the registry can't be setup on her website. But someone can set one up with her number. I'd go with a Bridal shower FIRST anyway, then the Bride can create a registry after her shower is over- to list any products she still wants but hasn't received yet at her shower. Just have a wish -list for guests at the shower that they can purchase for her there, if they choose.
