This is a repeat host, and I think she's only going to have 5 or so guests, but I'm actually nervous. Any last minute pointers or words of wisdom?

I ended up taking everything pre-prepped so my demo took about 5 minutes. I got $200 in orders and 1 solid booking. A couple other maybe's and I'm going to follow up with someone that I overheard was getting married in August. But get this - 2 people said it was the best Pampered Chef party they'd ever been to~ :D
 
That is GREAT

I bet you are glad that it was a small show so that you were able to relax and enjoy each guest for your first show

You did a GREAT job and just keep in touch and that will get you going again
