We have this wonderful resource for the Holiday 2011 with tips and recipes and gift ideas, but what I don't see if the ability to set up a show on the website and have the "theme" be a holiday show like we have in the past. Anyone know if we will have that choice later on, or not now since there aren't really "theme" shows? There are still soooo many choices of themes, like Mexican in Minutes or Appetizers so I'm not sure why we wouldn't have the Holiday option. :confused:
 
I'm sure we will have the option next month. I notice they aren't too quick to make things like that available too far in advance...;)

For those of us that like to plan in advance, it doesn't make it very easy. I want to send out my annual Holiday Open House evites, but can't set it up yet. I agree that they don't always make things available too far in advance, but I know that it will or has stayed available into the SUMMER sometimes. Go figure!!
 
Don't hold your breath...I've been wondering the same thing...so I emailed them today. This is the reply I got:

Thank you for contacting The Pampered Chef. Unfortunately we have not received any information on a holiday themed shows on our website. Please continue to watch for further updates.

Needless to say, I'm very dissapointed, as I would like to have a holiday open house type show where I'm not demonstrating a recipe...the recipe's will already made and people can just eat, enjoy themselves and see the holiday entertaining ideas. LAME!
 
Ugh! Frustrating! I wish they would do things earlier for us consultants on military bases overseas. It can take up to 2 months for us to get our stuff! :(
 
I posted this question earlier today, but didn't realize so many of us were looking for it - maybe we should bombard HO with calls!
 
In the PC Newswire from today it has a section for Holiday Marketing Guide. In this section it has "Supporting Materials"...then under Personal Website and Email Support it has a picture of what is obviously a template for a holiday E-invition. It says, "holiday cheer" and it shows an image right out of the holiday mini catalog. I just sent a couple emails begging them for a holiday template. This is so frustrating.
 
It is extremely frustrating! I have two open houses NEXT weekend and can't get the invitations out that I want! Grrrr...
 
Here's an invitation you can print out. There's probably a way to copy and paste it into an e-mail. But it sure would be nice if they could put this on our PWS's so we can use it for e-invitations.

We should all be emailing them all day today. I just sent an email to every address they have...I even attached the picture of the e-vite. Oddly enough, the e-vite was saved by them as "holiday e-vite.jpg". Seriously...then really need to make us feel like they are listening to us.
 
They just put the Holiday 2011 e-invitation template up!!!!! I'm so excited. You guys should go check it out....it's perfect for what I'm planning!
