What flyer do you have in the clear pocket on the bottom side?

Currently, we have the ice cream sandwich maker guest flyer, but nobody really cares about those. I saw a post where someone had the commission vs. hourly on theirs. Just curious as to what everyone else has. We have a show tonight and I am trying to determine what to put in it.
 
I have the Wedding Registry flyer in some and the Fundrasier flyer in some.
 
I use the monthly guest special in my folders. But I do like the idea of the wedding registry flyer. I always talk about the registry but the flyer would not hurt to have.
 
I have a flyer with all the summer host and guest specials on it.
 
host and guests specials for upcoming months, recruiting information, wedding registry. I Put 1 flyer (1 has june guest, 1 has july guest, etc) in each and then start to repeat the flyers in my lapboards.
 
I have a bunch of info on my left side pocket guest folder. Guest-host special on 1 sheet, next months specials on another, wedding registry and PC opp. flyer. Right side pocket is the catalog and order form.

We work as a team. My husband is the one doing the shows and we joke that I am his sous chef and I give him a hand whenever he needs it (like putting something in the oven). Then he refers everyone to me for ordering while he mingles with the guests.

We have only had 2 shows so far and it is working great. Well, except for not being able to get any bookings from the shows. We need to work on that more.
 
The front side I have the show flyer and on the back the hourly breakdown. I also have a flyer for Guests-Hosts-Consultants to see what people could buy with a $100 budget.
