I was getting ready to walk out the door to head to the host's house this afternoon when she called me. She said she had "handed" out 40 invitations and yesterday she had 7 coming. Today she got 5 email cancellations and only had 2 coming. She said she didn't want me to waste my time driving to her house (she lives about 30-35 min away) for only two people. I told her I didn't want to do that either. Been there done that and it's not worth it.
Now tell me........I was at work all day and got off at 4:00. We've been e-mailing this week about the show and even emailed this morning. Did she have to wait till 5:00 to call and cancel when I was planning to be at her house at 5:30. I was literally walking out the door. :grumpy: Had I been on the interstate half way there I would have been extremely upset. So I'm at least glad she caught me before I left. As of last week she had about 35 people coming then it turned into 2. I knew 35 people weren't coming but she seemed to think so. She even wanted to two double recipes to have enough food. That all changed by Wed of this week and she said to make only one. Then today she's down to 2 people.
The "old" me would be very upset and discouraged by this but for some reason I'm not. I needed the show but it would have been more of a waste of my time to drive that far for two people to buy probably a total of $75 worth of PC.
This comes down to the host not following through with her guests. I offered several times to mail out the invites but she insisted on handing them out at work. I kept telling her to call the guests to remind them but I could tell that never got done either.
She wants to do a catalog show now but I doubt it will do very well. We'll just have to see I guess.
