Have you tried using labels for your invites?

Here is what I use to cover up the HO info :

yes they are 80 labels
I also put them on all my recipe cards I give at my shows

Speaking of invites....

Does anyone have an invite for the Sip n' Dip party? (Not the Bites and Bevs!) I didn't see one in the files section.

TIA!

This should help!

OK, so I am totally on board with sending invitations for my hosts, but I am not having luck getting my hosts on board! I have tried this with 4 of my most recent hosts and none of them have taken me up on it. They have done e-vites (not through my site) or ended up canceling. How do you sell it to your host?

I'm having trouble uploading the invite...a bit computer illiterate sometimes...if you give me your email, I'll send a couple to you directly...

I tell guests I want to make hosting a show easy for them so I take my dishes home dirty and as a service to them I mail the invites.

I don't ask them if they want me to do it for them. I tell them that I will take care of all the invites and I just need them to get the addresses to me by a certain date. I give them an address list form and put their name and the date I need it returned to me on the top along with a SASE so they can mailit to me.

What you might want to try if you get some resistance is tell them that you are trying something new for a few months and would they help you out with this experiment.

I'm with Linda, for my guests, it's not a choice. It's just the way that I run my business.

Just to give you all an example of what I used on my postcard invites is an Avery label 6572 and their is 15 per sheet. I give these to the host and say mail these early and follow up OR only use them as reminders. I don't trust these as they have gotten lost in the mail.

I do mail invites and those are usually one that I print on VERY bright paper. I have an example of it posted as well. I usually print the address information on the back side and close with mailing seals so you don't have to deal with envelopes

(I am thinking I will start to hand write the address to see if attendance goes up)

I run the PC invites through my printer for the Host/show info. I hand-write the guest's address.

I run the PC invites through my printer for the Host/show info. I hand-write the guest's address.

That's what I do but I do just the opposite. My crappy printer can't consistently align properly so I handwrite the show info (date, time, host, etc) and run them thru the printer for the guest's name & address.

I have to adjust it everytime HO designs a new invite too. Here's the one that works for my printer (HP3055). I can't take credit, someone else put it out here and I adjusted it for my printer. You might be able to use it or make minor adjustments for yourself. This is for the plain invites (FK01).

This Avery thing is pretty cool. I feel so computer savvy. Thanks for all the tips and help, everyone.

Does anyone have the 50 Guest in 5 Minutes that has 2 vertical copies side by side--ie It makes two on every sheet of paper and you just cut down the middle and wrap around an invitation pack. I don't have the doc file just the paper copy and I used my last one and can't make copies anymore.

ChefJill, I would love that please!

Not sure if this is the one you're talking about; this is the 50 in 5 that I have!
