In P3, do I make the bride the host, or the host the host? Do I put in a co-host?
 
Most consultants do the host as the host, and the bride as a co-host. Then they both get the 10% PHD, and it makes it easy to split up the host benefits no matter how they do it. (Some hosts use the discounted/half price/special themselves and give the bride the free credit; some give it all to the bride; some keep it all for themselves, etc.)
 
I have a Bride, a host and a co-host. How do I set that up on my website? Do I make the host the host and the co-host the co-host? How will people know who the bride is if her name isn't on something.

I think I just confused myself!!
 
If you have all 3, then one of them won't get any benefits (at least with a receipt in their name). You can create multiple shows on PWS, so that each name is represented. Then when you get online orders, you just point P3 to the show(s) with orders.
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I would recommend making the bride the host of the party. This way, she can receive all the host benefits and rewards for hosting a successful party. However, if you would like to have a co-host, you can definitely add them in as well. Just make sure to communicate with both the bride and co-host about their roles and responsibilities for the party. Happy hosting!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a P3 Wedding Shower and how does it differ from a traditional wedding shower?

A P3 Wedding Shower is a unique event hosted by a Pampered Chef consultant, where guests can celebrate the couple while also enjoying cooking demonstrations and purchasing kitchen products. Unlike traditional wedding showers that focus solely on gift-giving, a P3 Wedding Shower combines socializing with a fun cooking experience, allowing guests to learn new recipes and techniques while contributing to the couple's kitchen essentials.

What are some tips for hosting a successful P3 Wedding Shower?

To host a successful P3 Wedding Shower, start by choosing a suitable date and time that works for the couple and their guests. Create a guest list and send out invitations well in advance. Plan a menu that includes easy-to-make recipes that can be demonstrated during the event. Set up a comfortable space for cooking and socializing, and consider incorporating a theme that reflects the couple's personality. Finally, ensure that the Pampered Chef consultant is well-prepared to engage the guests and showcase the products effectively.

What etiquette should be followed when inviting guests to a P3 Wedding Shower?

When inviting guests to a P3 Wedding Shower, it's important to be clear about the event's purpose and format. Include details about the couple, the date, time, and location of the shower, as well as any specific instructions, such as whether guests should bring a dish or contribute to a group gift. Be mindful of the couple's preferences regarding the guest list, and ensure that invitations are sent out at least three to four weeks in advance to allow for proper planning.

How can I encourage guests to participate in the cooking demonstrations during the P3 Wedding Shower?

Encouraging guest participation can be achieved by creating an interactive atmosphere. Start by assigning roles or tasks to guests, such as chopping vegetables or mixing ingredients. Offer small incentives, like a raffle for a Pampered Chef product, for those who actively participate. Additionally, make sure the recipes are simple and fun, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and engaged. Highlight the benefits of the products being used to spark interest and excitement among the guests.

What should I do if guests have dietary restrictions or preferences?

It's essential to consider dietary restrictions and preferences when planning the menu for a P3 Wedding Shower. When sending out invitations, ask guests to inform you of any allergies or dietary needs. This will help you plan a menu that accommodates everyone. Offer a variety of dishes, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free options, to ensure all guests feel included. Communicate openly about the ingredients used in the recipes during the event to keep everyone informed and safe.
