Host Choice Themes: How I Boosted Sales with Creative Party Ideas

[raebates]

I have a fantastic host (4 shows in the last year). She ALWAYS does themes. The first one we did was Duck Dynasty. Next she chose Cowboys and Indians. (Don't criticize me. She's part Native American, so she decided "Indians" was okay.) After that it was the roaring 20s. On Friday she hosted a party with a Pirates of the Caribbean theme. It was a hoot!

I try to make sure the food I do for the show matches the theme. I get into the spirit by adding whatever props I can. For instance, at Friday's show I dressed the part. I made a tropical fruit tray. I used hot pink chocolate coins (doubloons with a Help Whip Cancer twist). I referred to the catalog as their treasure map. You get the idea.

This isn't the kind of thing that would appeal to every host or even every consultant. But, I've found that letting the host get as crazy as she wants can be profitable.

Wow, your host sounds like a lot of fun! I love how she always incorporates themes into her parties. It definitely adds a unique touch and makes it more exciting for the guests. And it's great to hear that you go all out with the theme and even dress up for the occasion. It really shows your dedication and adds to the overall experience. The tropical fruit tray and hot pink chocolate coins sound like a perfect fit for the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. And the fact that your host is part Native American and chose the Cowboys and Indians theme shows that she is respectful and inclusive. Keep up the great work and I'm sure your parties will continue to be a hit!
