Do Any Canadians Mail Out Invitations?

[cheflorraine]

Does anyone here mail out invitations to guests before parties (using the host's guest list)? It seems so many of the US consultants do that, but I'm wondering if that would be feasible here, as we don't really rely on 'snail-mail' as much.

I don't!! But if you are having a tough time with your hosts it might not be a bad idea. I'm personally to cheap!!! I just give the host invitations in the host folders.

I would love to send them out for my hosts but really tend to run into a lot of hesitation on the part of my host when I offer this service. Its worth it to me to know that the invitations were sent out in a timely fashion.

I don't and not sure if I would consider it. For me, and it's only my personal opinion, I find it a bit impersonal using invitation. If you are inviting friends, why not give them a call and maybe get a response right away. Some people will respect verbal commitment which you could receive when calling so I have my hosts CALL friends.. You know how HO is asking us to pick up the phone..it works better...well I think it's the same for hosts and their guests.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely understand your concerns about mailing out invitations before parties. While it may be a common practice for consultants in the US, I agree that it may not be as feasible for us here. In this digital age, we often rely on electronic invitations and social media to reach out to our guests.However, I do believe that sending out physical invitations can still be a nice touch and can help make your host feel special. One option could be to offer a mix of both physical and electronic invitations, giving your host the option to choose what works best for them and their guests.Ultimately, the most important thing is to make sure your guests receive all the necessary information and are excited to attend the party. Whether that is through physical invitations or electronic means, it's up to your host's preference and what works best for your business. Best of luck with your parties!
