Hi! I am considering going back to using the postcard invites and was wondering if anyone has a label they use to put the host information on the postcard? I know some people run them though their printer, but this didn't work so well for me and I find labels so much easier and less frustrating. Thanks!

The labels that work for the mini catalogs are also the perfect size for the postcards. It covers up all of the writing, but it says everything that needs to be said, anyway - including having all of your info on it too.

I do sometimes still use these when the host is sending out all email invites or doing a huge FB invite, and I am sending it more as a reminder. I also put them in my Host packets for hosts to hand out to people.
 
I do still use them, I use the sheet of 30 that are on the Avery box

Date...... Time......
Host Name......... Phone ........
Address..................

Becky this is exactly why I am going to go back to them. So many people are using Facebook and evites that I am not getting guest list back. So I am going to give them 40 postcards and ask them to hand them out or mail them. If they choose not to I am only out $1.00 and not $5.00 it would cost me to mail the mini. I can't say that it really increased my sales. I believe my sales increased because I became better as a consultant. I haven't ordered postcards in awhile- do they still say to go to The Pampered Chef to view the catalog? Doreen- How do you let customers know to go to your website to place an order if they can't make it?
 
they say:

"I'm hosting a Pampered Chef Cooking Show, and I want you to come!"

Then, there's room for the show info, with host's address, phone, and email

Then under that, it says:

"It'll be so much fun! We'll try kitchen tools as affordable as as they are versatile, and discover tips to make cooking and entertaining easier.
We'll also learn impressive, budget-friendly recipes that are ready in 30 minutes or less."

"Please Let me know if you can make it.
And bring a friend!"

"To Preview the catalog, visit my Consultant's Website."


However, I don't feel like there is really room to add my info at the bottom. The writing comes pretty close to the bottom, and then there is usually a PO stamped bar at the bottom which would cover it up. That's why I use the Labels. I get my labels really cheap at Laser labels, laser printer labels, direct thermal labels, thermal transfer labels, address labels & blank labels . Plus, it's quick and easy! I just slap one label on, instead of messing with a couple for the show info AND my info.
 
I use this one for postcards
 
I use the Avery labels also - 30 to a sheet:
WHEN: ___________ 0:00 PM
HOST: ________________
RSVP - YES OR NO (in red): ______
WHERE: ______________
ON SALE: (guest special here)
I had a stamp made with my website and I stamp the cards at the bottom where it says to visit consultant's website.
