Ok, how do I enter these?

I have a graduation/bridal show going on for a girl where most people were out of town so they ordered online and even though I'd give them reduced shipping to themselves (I was going to pay the difference between $4 and DS for them) no one wanted to order for themselves, just for the girl.

Anyway, since these are all gifts for her, I would like the orders to be in her name for warranty purposes.

Would it look odd to enter a show where she is Host and Multiple Guests????

Does anyone know how HO likes us to handle this?

I know they don't want them ALL entered as one because that would shortchange them on S/H charges...
 
I just put them under the guest's name. That way they have a receipt for themselves to show their purchase for the bride.

That's what I was thinking at first but then warranty is not under the bride so I was thinking to put them under the girl's name and just have payment as the guest and still give the receipt to them.As long as HO is fine on warranty in those cases, then I'll put it under the guest name...
 
I also used the guest name on bridal shower.

Thanks guys - I've decided to just use guest name since that is how it imports for our PWS and I'm sure HO will honor warranty when it is marked as a bridal show.
 
As long as HO knows it's for a bridal shower, it doesn't matter who's name it's under. I always gave my host a packet of receipts from each guest and highlighted the items that were hers. I've heard of other people making a dummy order in the bride's name and entering all the products in, printing it and then deleting it. That way she just has 1 receipt with all the products on it. I prefer to give her the guest's receipt because then she can always know who gave her the gift. Or, if you think about it, if the wedding doesn't go on, ettiquette is to return the gift to the gift giver, so she would aleast know who to return the gift to (not that it would happen!).
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enter orders for a graduation or bridal show with multiple guests?

To enter orders for a graduation or bridal show, first ensure you have the host's information. Then, navigate to the order entry section in your Pampered Chef consultant portal. Select the host's event, and you can add multiple guests' orders by entering their details and items they wish to purchase. Make sure to confirm each order before finalizing.

Can I combine orders from multiple guests under one host?

Yes, you can combine orders from multiple guests under one host. When entering the orders, make sure to link each guest's order to the host's event. This allows the host to benefit from any host rewards based on the total sales from all guests combined.

What if a guest wants to change their order after it has been entered?

If a guest wants to change their order after it has been entered, you can edit the order in the consultant portal. Locate the specific guest's order under the host's event, make the necessary changes, and save the updated order. Be sure to communicate any changes to the guest to confirm their new selections.

How do I handle payment for multiple guests at a graduation or bridal show?

For payment, you can either collect individual payments from each guest or handle it as a single transaction under the host's account. If collecting individual payments, ensure each guest pays for their order at the time of entry. If processing as one payment, confirm with the host how they would like to manage the payments from their guests.

Are there any special promotions or discounts for graduation or bridal show orders?

Yes, Pampered Chef often offers special promotions or discounts for events like graduations and bridal shows. Be sure to check the latest promotions in your consultant portal or reach out to your director for any specific offers that may apply to the event you are hosting.
