Make it SIMPLE. "Don't make it harder than it needs to be." (Tracy Williams' best tip- she's from HO) It's not necessary to make lots of PC recipes. I make 1 new on and maybe 1 other that could done ahead. I try to make sure the food part is done BEFORE they come, unless you're doing the demo. Display you entire kit..."look what I got for $155 plus sales tax!" You can have a chopping station, cutting/slicing station, etc...let THEM play with the tools. With the weather hot...an ice cream bar?

Good luck!

Make sure you smile, relax and talk about how you love the products... people relate well and feel comfortable and this will make you feel more comfortable

Hi there! Congratulations on your grand opening and your first show as a Pampered Chef consultant! That is so exciting! You have already done a great job by sending out 3 catalogs and preparing for your event. My advice would be to make sure you have all of your products and materials organized and easily accessible. Also, don't be afraid to engage with your guests and make them feel welcome. Lastly, have fun and enjoy the experience! Good luck on Saturday!
