Use all the PC pieces you can. I used the carafe for coffee, quick stir for punch, SA platters for serving, SA appetizer plates/caddy for guests, bamboo spoons/tongs for serving.....I mean I had it all out there. What ever you can think of that your guests can see and USE is the best.
My best advice....HAVE FUN. I am grateful for the sales, but this is one party/show that I want to enjoy my guests as I mostly invite my family/friends/best PC friends I've made thru my shows. I'm always working the room and visiting with them as well as answering questions about products/parties/the opportunity.
I had made the Classic Spritz cookie recipe that came with the Cookie Press and we did demo a batch on the stone and cook them...but I had the rest already made to show them the different cookie shapes that it will make. I think I sold 3 that night. With stoneware being the special...I bet you can sell some of those too!
 
For the cookie exchange, you could try promoting it on social media and creating a Facebook event to invite people to attend. You could also reach out to local businesses and see if they would be interested in participating or promoting the event. Additionally, offering a special deal or discount for customers who attend the cookie exchange could help increase sales.As for the school reunion and church event, you could create a special email marketing campaign targeting alumni and church members. Offer a discount or special promotion for those who attend the events. You could also consider setting up a booth or table at the events to sell cookies and promote the cookie exchange. Another idea could be to collaborate with the school or church to host a joint event, such as a bake sale or cookie decorating contest, to attract more attendees and potential customers.
