Sept 6th from 1-4. I found an invite off of this site and modified it for what I needed.
 
I'm actually doing a Mystery Host Sneak Peek Event, Saturday, August 23rd.

I'm having my Mystery Host Reveal Party/Fall Kickoff on Tuesday, August 26th... all the hosts that are participating in the Mystery Host Show are invited to come at 11 am to have some yummy food (from the new theme shows of course) and have a sneak peak at the new stuff... then all my customers in the area are invited to come at 1 pm.

I have my first official fall show booked for Sept 5th with a gal I work with... She's expecting over 30 people that have already RSVP'd. It's going to be huge... hopefully the sales and bookings are as great. :)
 
not doing one here. I have had so many people that are on vacation and or just too busy. I am going to just pray that after the first week of sept people want to start booking again. I have only two shows on my books right now
 
we are doing one with about 5 consultants. We printed them out yesturday at office depot and paid about $8.00 for 250 sheets using the office depot purchasing card from pc. and we put 4 to a sheet used the pub. one.

Mine is tonight, and I have a question. I know people give out tickets for things like placing an order, bringing a guest, booking a show, etc. How many tickets do you all give out for each thing?? I know I have seen posts on here but I am not having much luck searching for them right now... TIA.
 
I give a ticket for orders $60 or more (for a different kind of Mystery Host then the one I'm doing this month), a ticket if the guest brings a friend, a ticket for showing up on time, two tickets for bookings, and three tickets for potential recruits. Hope this helps...
 
I am doing a double open house. One on Wed night and one on Sat night this week. So far I have 10 confirmed for each time. Making reminder calls tonight and Thursday. Attached is a 'yearbook' of sorts that I am including in their open house packets. I only attached just the beginning and without pictures for the sake of file size. Please imagine a picture between each product title and it's individual description. I am also doing the 'retired team members' for the discontinued products :) Let me know if this is a good idea or a waste of time. I thought it might be a cute twist on the game day theme, instead of just showing catalogs to everyone.

For those of you that have already had yours, I'd love to hear the results? I had mine and it didn't go so well. Unfortunately I went for quantity of invites instead of quality (calling the guests on the phone) and had 3 show up. How did everyone else do?
 
I want to do one but September is crazy. I'm booked like crazy. Do you think that October is too late to do one???
 
Mine is this Thursday. I've sent out 150 invitations by snail mail and will be making calls today and tomorrow as I only have 6 RSVPs so far. I think I will use an idea I got from someone here (pamperedalf, I believe) to put everyone in a draw who RSVPs. Wish I had it on my invitations!
