How Do You Host a Pampered Chef Bridal Shower?

[ChefBeth2]

I have a friend whose son is getting married in September. My friend LOVES Pampered Chef! I was thinking of approaching her about hosting a bridal shower for her future daughter-in-law.

How would a PC Bridal Shower work? Do the guests come and watch a kitchen show and then order items off the bride-to-be's wish list? And, then the mother-in-law/host could give her hostess benefits to the new bride-to-be?

I'm just trying to picture how to do this so I can approach my friend about doing a show!

Please give me ideas/thoughts!

Thanks,

Beth in PA

Bridal RegistryNow is the perfect time to approach anybody about the wedding registry and a bridal show. Your friend's daughter in law can sign up for a gift registry with Pampered Chef and let friends and family members know about the online registry so they can purchase gifts if they cannot make it to the show. Also for out of state or city friends and family can order also and her guest sales will accumulate with each purchase.
How fun it is for the bride to pick out FREE products for her new kitchen, new home and new husband. The cookware is lifetime guarantee so stress that for higher priced items.
At the show do a short demo and concentrate on getting her wish list products displayed during the show and concentrating on great features and benefits that our products have to offer. Make sure they order for themselves also and for the bride. Depending on the month, stress the guest special and also the host special so the bride can get bookings and take advantage of future monthly host specials for 60% off.
Good luck and let us know how this turns out. I hope they want to do it!

Hey Beth,That's a great idea to host a Pampered Chef bridal shower for your friend's future daughter-in-law! Here are some ideas and thoughts on how it could work:1. The guests can definitely come and watch a kitchen show, just like a regular Pampered Chef party. The consultant can demonstrate various products and recipes, and the guests can sample the food as well.2. As for ordering items off the bride-to-be's wish list, that could definitely be an option. The consultant can work with the bride-to-be to create a wish list of items she would like for her new kitchen. Then, the guests can choose to purchase items off the list as gifts for the couple.3. Another option could be to have the guests contribute towards a larger item, such as a cookware set or a stand mixer, as a group gift for the couple. This way, the bride-to-be can still receive items she wants for her kitchen, but the guests can also pool their resources for a bigger gift.4. As for the hostess benefits, the mother-in-law/host can definitely give those to the new bride-to-be. This could be a great way for the bride-to-be to start building her own kitchen collection. Plus, it's a nice gesture from the hostess to the bride-to-be.5. You can also incorporate some fun games or activities into the shower, such as a recipe exchange where guests can bring a favorite recipe to share with the bride-to-be. Or, you can have a "guess the kitchen gadget" game where guests have to identify different Pampered Chef products.I hope these ideas help and give you some inspiration for approaching your friend about hosting a Pampered Chef bridal shower. It's a unique and fun way to celebrate the upcoming wedding and help the newlyweds start their kitchen off right. Good luck! Best,
