So... I have a host wanting to have a house warming party. She also wants to be set up online so her out of state friends and relatives can order.

Next... how do I go about getting her set up online where they can view her wish list. Can I do it as a regular show and there is a way they can see it or do I enter it under bridal?
 
I think it has to be done as a bridal show so they can view the list. Not sure, I'm still a newbie....

I love that we can do the online ordering !!!!
 
To keep it simple and have her get the full hostess benefits rather than short by $15,
if it were a bridal registry, consider this. Have her make her list and give it to you
with her e-mail list. Then you could send out the e-vites for her with the list
attached. If you have her set up as a hostess on your website, they can order
through her party, and you will be notified and be able to enter the order with her
party. If by chance it got placed through her "bridal registry" she would not be
able to include it in her party. It would be a separate deal, as far as I know.

Ahhh I got it. That sounds cool. Ill let her know. She is super excited about it.
 
I often wondered how to do registry for things other than a bridal registry. Thanks for the input!!

So they would email you there orders and you would put it in? What if they don't feel comfortable giving out credit card info? Or are you saying that they would place the orders online and then send updates (to those on the list she gives you) via email when an item is purchased?
Sorry, I have been wondering about this as well.
