I am organizing an open house for a host appreciation event. I may even make it a Mystery Host show too. Just wondering what you have found to be the best days of the week for doing something like this?

Thanks!
 
I had mine on a Sunday around 1 and 10 ppl showed and I send out like 40 invites.
 
As an experienced host for various events, I have found that the best days of the week for hosting an open house or appreciation event are typically weekends. Specifically, Saturday tends to be the most popular day for these types of events as people are more likely to have free time and be able to attend. Sundays can also work well, but keep in mind that some people may have religious or family obligations on that day. If you are considering making it a Mystery Host show, I would suggest holding it on a Friday or Saturday evening. This allows guests to unwind after a busy week and enjoy the event without having to rush off to work the next day. Additionally, having it in the evening allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, as people are not as rushed compared to a weekday event. I would also recommend sending out invitations at least a few weeks in advance to give guests enough time to plan and RSVP. This will also give you a better idea of how many people will be attending and allow you to plan accordingly. Overall, the key is to choose a day and time that will be convenient for the majority of your guests and make them feel appreciated and relaxed. Good luck with your event!
