I just thought that I would share my story with you all!
Last month my 11 year old daughter was helping me put together host packets for a show I had scheduled that night...She said," Mom, Chrissie said she would do a book show for you" (Chrissie is my ex husband's current g/f) I said, "Oh yeah, what did you do go around asking people for me!?" LOL! She says, "No, I just told her you work for Pampered Chef and she said she would do a book show for you." Well, I didn't really think too much of it and then I ended up needing 1 more show for July to at least get the new piece of cookware so I thought I would call my ex and just ask to see if she was just making it up or if she really said that and guess what! I got my second booking for July!! I know why now they say "never assume"! Gotta love those kids!!:D
 
Woo-hoo!
And you're signing your daughter in 7 years, right?
 
Woo Hoo - way to go kiddo!
I would LOVE to get my ex-DH's new wife to do a show. From what he and my kids say, she's a fabulous cook...and I REALLY like her so I know we'd have fun. They live in a nice neighborhood and she has a big family - it couldbe a totally successful show!
 
That is great!! Hope she does well for you!
 
Make sure everyone knows your relation to the hostess. I would hate to be a guest and NOT know....
 
I did a show with my daughter in law while in WI and my ex's wife was there. She drooled over the salad spinner and booked a show. We did a demo the day after conference (in my round about way from Chicago to Iowa to Indiana to North Carolina) - at my dil's house. She only had 2 people come (not counting dil) and wants to hold it open until later this month but - hey a show is a show.

A bit wierd but it worked! You never know!
 
That is too funny.... you never know who your next host is going to be!!!
 
Got to love that girl! Will she get a cut of your commission?
 
My dh's ex-wife had our biggest show. Only two people showed up and only one order out of them, but she rallied and got orders from everywhere. I tried to even recruit her...but no dice. :)

And my ex's wife held a catty show for us that was our third biggest! Don't count out those ex's!!
 
If you both love PC & married DH, then you must have something in common!

Hey, why not try to recruit her? Maybe you could room at conference next year.

Suggest that to ex DH:D

It sort of reminds me of the show The New Adventures of Old Christine:)

Bahahahaha!!
My ex's wife is still *new* - they've only been married a few months. We are all very comfortable with her and like her very much...but I think she's still kinda finding her role and comfort zone within this crazy family. In time, I think she may be willing to host a show...

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my 11-year-old daughter book a Pampered Chef show for me?

Yes, your daughter can help with the process of booking a show, but she will need an adult to officially host the show and handle any transactions. You can guide her through the steps to make it a fun learning experience!

What responsibilities will my daughter have in booking the show?

Your daughter can assist in inviting friends and family, choosing recipes, and planning the event. However, as the adult, you will need to manage the actual booking and any financial transactions involved.

Are there any age restrictions for hosting a Pampered Chef show?

While there are no specific age restrictions for hosting, the person booking the show must be at least 18 years old to enter into a contract with Pampered Chef. Therefore, you will need to be the official host.

How can I support my daughter in this process?

You can support her by helping her create a guest list, discussing themes or recipes for the show, and teaching her about the products. This can be a great bonding experience and a way to teach her about planning and hosting events.

Can my daughter earn rewards from the show?

While your daughter can help with the show, any rewards or benefits from hosting will go to you as the official host. However, you can certainly involve her in the process and share any rewards with her as a way to encourage her participation!
