Host Your Own Pampered Chef Party: March Open House Ideas

[ChefMrs.Ray]

Hey all! I have been doing PC for a couple of months now and am qualified woohoo! I just got a recruit which is amazing but she was my only host for March and I am now at a loss for parties this month. I decided to do an Open House for a second kick off. If anyone has any ideas for this type of show, recipes, games, formats, themes I am open to it all and really need some inspiration!!! Thanks so much!:chef:

I did an open house at a community center on post. It was a lot of work but at the show, the demo recipe was the deluxe cheeseburger salad and the early arrivers prepared the recipe. There are other threads on here with lots of cool ideas to use at your open house. I used some ideas for invitations from here. I gave out tickets for those who RSVP'd early, made a purchase, etc. I gave away the host benefits! Hope that helps a little!

Congratulations on getting your first recruit and becoming qualified! That's a huge accomplishment. I can understand feeling a bit lost with parties this month, but an Open House is a great idea to kick things off again. Here are a few ideas that might help:- Consider having a theme for your Open House, such as a Spring Fling or Fiesta. This can help give your event a fun and cohesive feel.
- For recipes, you could do a mix of sweet and savory appetizers, along with some refreshing drinks. Pinterest is a great resource for party food ideas.
- As for games, you could do a "guess the number of candies in a jar" game or a "blindfolded taste test" game with different snacks. You could also have a raffle for attendees who place an order at the party.
- In terms of format, you could have a mix of mingling and presentation. Start off with some time for guests to arrive and chat, then do a short presentation on some of your favorite products or specials for the month. After that, give guests some more time to mingle and place orders.
- Don't forget to have plenty of catalogs and order forms on hand for guests to browse and order from.I hope these ideas help inspire you for your Open House. Good luck and have fun with it!
