I know other people on this forum have done this. Make sure that both of you invite at least 40 people and keep your demos short. I think what a few people have done is demo "stations" where they've grouped products and left out things that the guests can test - cucumbers/limes/etc.
If you do a search in the files section on open house you'll find ideas and invitations. Good luck.

My sister-in-law sells TS, and last month we did a dinner party (at my mother-in-law's house) where we created a menu of items that were made with Tastefully Simple items, but prepared and displayed with PC products. We invited 50 or so people, had 13 that RSVP'd, 25 showed, and we both had $1000+ shows. We really didn't do any demo, just had products displayed, and a menu typed up with what products were used. Granted, my mother-in-law went all out for it...it was a HUGE dinner, but you could do a simple appetizer & dessert, or even a main course in there.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Open House in the context of Pampered Chef?
An Open House is a casual gathering where a Pampered Chef consultant invites friends, family, and potential customers to explore products, enjoy food demonstrations, and learn about the benefits of hosting a cooking party. It serves as a relaxed environment to showcase the brand and engage with attendees.
How can I effectively promote my Open House event?
To promote your Open House, utilize social media platforms, create eye-catching invitations, and send out reminders via email or text. Consider offering incentives for attendees, such as a raffle or exclusive discounts, to encourage participation. Personal invitations can also make guests feel valued and more likely to attend.
What types of incentives can I offer to encourage attendance at my Open House?
Incentives can include free product samples, raffle entries for prizes, exclusive discounts on purchases made during the event, or a special gift for the host. You can also offer a cooking demonstration or a fun activity, like a recipe contest, to make the event more engaging and rewarding for attendees.
What are some creative ideas for activities during the Open House?
Consider hosting a cooking demonstration featuring popular Pampered Chef products, a taste-testing station with recipes made from those products, or a mini cooking class. You could also set up a DIY station where guests can create their own spice blends or kitchen gadgets. Engaging activities will keep guests entertained and encourage them to interact with the products.
How can I follow up with attendees after the Open House?
After the Open House, follow up with attendees through thank-you emails or messages, expressing appreciation for their attendance. Include a summary of the event, highlight any special offers, and provide links to your online store or upcoming events. This follow-up can help maintain the connection and encourage future sales or bookings.
