You might be able to appoint her as cohost and have someone else listed as the main host. Have everything shipped to that other host and direct ship her items (it may cost extra). The main host can also have their guest order as a guest order.
Since cohosts split benefits, you can still rightly assign free and discounted product value to her.
You'd have to check if P3 can handle that.

So what address do you have in for the host? Where the show took place? How about doing that?
Make sure the host's address is where everyone is going to pick up the products. Then, on the host's order use the "Direct to Shipping address" and put in her address across state under the contact address on her record. Does that work?

But since the host was my friend, she is going to pick it up during spring break. But I think since she was so understanding, I might jus pick it up and send it to her myself!
The good news is, I got the tablecloth!:chef:

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my host lives far away from where she hosted the party?

How can I ensure my host feels supported even if she is not local?
To support your host remotely, provide her with digital resources such as a host guide, product catalogs, and links to online training. Regular check-ins via video calls or messaging can help her feel connected and supported throughout the process.
Can I still deliver products to my host if she lives far away?
Yes, you can arrange for the products to be shipped directly to your host’s address. Make sure to confirm her shipping details and provide tracking information so she knows when to expect her order.
What if my host has questions about her party after it has ended?
Encourage your host to reach out to you with any questions she may have after the party. You can set up a follow-up call or provide her with a dedicated email address for inquiries. Being responsive will help her feel valued and supported.
