Let me give a little history here. I've done several shows for a group of friends, and most of the time it ends up being a "couples" show, because the women and hubbies are all good friends. My show Sunday was actually hosted by a couple, which was great... they're actually thinking of signing up to be consultants together. All well and good.
The problem is, ONE of the hubbies that comes is a heckler. It's a fairly small group, only three men, and the other two guys always have good questions and are actually interested in the products. The other guy delights in asking me questions that he thinks are "funny," and trying to get me with questions he thinks I won't know about the products, trying to make me look stupid or fluster me. Most of the time I can dish it back to him, and/or just brush him off, and when it's the small group (who I'm pretty close with), it's not too bad... but last time, I really wanted to tell him to just SHUT UP ALREADY.
Anyway. Two of the girls at the show Sunday booked a show to co-host... one being a single girl, and the other is married to one of the nice hubbies. They want to have a fairly large party and invite all their single friends as well as their moms' friends, so it's NOT going to be a couples' party. But I just know the heckler's wife is going to bring him, and her son, who is always a distraction.
So how do I tell her nicely that I'd rather she leave those two at home? Some of the other hubbies might show up as well, I'm sure, but I don't mind them. I just don't want this guy trying to make me look like a fool in front of people who are not my close friends.
