Couples Night Out: Fun Ideas to Appeal to Both Genders

[kisrae]

I have never had a show in where couples attend. I want to make it fun and I want to sell just as much to the men as I do to the women. ANy ideas?

Get out of the habit of addressing the crowd as "Ladies." Seriously, though, men who are looking for cooking tools are usually looking for the same things that the women are: ease of use, tips, benefits, etc.

I've never had a couples party, but I agree with you. I'd also mix in a couple of BBQ items and knives (just a thought) Good Luck

Have the women choose a tool for the men to use - put out the weird looking ones like the mix n masher and spiral nylon whisk...things that you might not find in a "non PC" kitchen. These are products that you are using in the recipe. When it is time to use the product, the man has to come up with it, use it and give an alternate use for it. It took me 1 hour to make the Smashed Potato Soup with this!Also, there is an Amazing Race theme show somewhere on here - you can put them in groups of couples or men vs women.

Make sure when the host is inviting to STRESS that she may be be inviting 20 people but with couples that only means 10 ordering. I had this flop recently b/c the guest was happy she was going to have 12 people there, but that meant only 6 orders and she is scrounging for OO to make her show good.

I will really talk about this the next time I do one.

I've done a few couple shows. The men are often more interested in the products than the women, since they aren't invited to as many PC shows. I really don't change anything. But, then again, I don't think of my show as really targeted to women. It's targeted to people who eat and, at least sometimes, cook food.
