I am actually doing some host coaching today (shocking, I know!) and my host asked if it would be okay if she served wine. I told her of course it was fine and then she told me that she recently had a Premeire Jewelry party and the consultant told her that she could not serve any alcohol :bugeye: and that it was against her company's policy. Has anyone ever heard of that? I'm wondering if it is a company policy or the consultant's???

Of course I told her it was fine with me!!!!!
 
I have a good friend who is a Premier consultant. Yes, they are not supposed to serve alcohol, they are a faith-based company and it goes against their founder's values. However, that being said, I have been to a Premeir party where alcohol was served. I guess it just depends on the consultant and how closely they decide to stick to their founder's desires....or if they just decide to let the host do what she wants...
 
I had a Premier party and served wine and wine coolers. The consultant never said anything to me about it. Of course I didn't ask her either.
 
I like it when alcohol is served about halfway through the show so people aren't smashed and playing with my knives! And, they tend to buy a bit more.
 
I never bring alcohol to a show. It's up to the hostess NOT me. I'm a guest in their home. My personnal believes are just that mine. I don't talk about politics. I'm there to do my job ~ PC.... If I'm making ginger-tinies the hostess always buys the alcohol ~ not me. If someone leaves with too much I don't want it to be me that served the alcohol.
