I just received a call from a friend who wants to host a party, but her home is not big enough and she wants to know if I will have it at my house, but she is the host and gets all the host benefits Can I do that?:confused:
 
Sure, I have done that before. I just have the host buy the ingredients and bring them to my house to do the demo.

Great! Thanks

Oh! one last thing- would I have the items shipped to her or me?
 
Easy for you!I have had one host do her shows at my house before (she's done 2 shows for me so far). It makes it so easy! I can set up my display the night before, she brings the ingredients and we just let her guests know by invite and by phone that it's not at her house. I've never had a better show! She's my best host so far ($1000+ everytime), and she even brought me a recruit! Pampered Partner doesn't care where the show is held, you just put her address in the show info. If you're putting the show into your website, it lets you put the address of the show, as well as the shipping address (the host's house). And you can personalize the e-vites to mention that it's at your house instead of hers! I personally think this makes my job easier because I know my way around my own kitchen, I can have all the set-up work done ahead of time, and the host can put all of her focus on getting those invites out and RSVPs in! Good luck!
 
YOu could do either. If you ship it to yourself, still list her as the host, but in the host information screen, have the address read:
her name
c/o your name
your address

Oh and the tax rate would be based on whichever address the show is being shipped to. I don't know about your area, but here in Illinois, tax rates can vary by town. So one town may have a different tax rate than the one right next to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I host a Pampered Chef party at my house if someone else is the official host?

Yes, you can host a Pampered Chef party at your house even if someone else is the official host. The official host is the person who will receive the rewards and benefits from the party, but you can provide the space and help facilitate the event.

What is the role of the person hosting the party at their house?

The person hosting the party at their house typically provides the venue, helps with setup, and may assist in inviting guests. They can also contribute to the party by sharing their enthusiasm for the products and engaging with guests, but the official host will be the one receiving the rewards.

Will I receive any benefits for hosting the party at my home?

How do I coordinate with the official host for the party?

Communication is key! Coordinate with the official host to discuss details such as the date, time, guest list, and any specific arrangements needed for the party. Make sure to clarify your role and how you can best support the official host.

What should I prepare for the party at my house?

Prepare your space by ensuring it is clean and welcoming. Consider setting up seating for guests and having some snacks or drinks available. You may also want to prepare a demonstration area for the Pampered Chef consultant to showcase the products effectively.
