How Many Will Turn Up at Tonight's Un-RSVPed HWC Show?

[MeesMom3]

Hey Guys,

Send me some good vibes ok. I have a HWC show about 20 minutes from my town tonight and this lady DID NOT ask anyone to RSVP! I've been trying to get an idea and she just keeps laughing and saying she keeps forgetting to make phone calls to find out! She invited 56 people. So I'm totally going into this thing blind! I don't know if there will be 5 or 50 show up! So we'll see!

How was it?

NOT ONE SINGLE GUESTS!!!!!! I was so irritated! First of all, this lady told me she invited 56 people. Then last night, she told me that at a women's club meeting, she put her postcard invitations on the table for people to pick up on their way out. Apparently, this is where her 56 invited guests came from. She didn't personally invite anyone. She didn't seem to care much either. She apologized, but with an "oh who cares" kind of giggle and shrugged her shoulders. And then she says "you win some, you lose some". uuggghhhh!!!!!!!

How frustrating! Win some, lose some??? Well, you lost with having to waste the time away from your family driving over there & with the sales you lost. Some people! Is she even going to try to collect orders for you considering she made you drive all that way for nothing?

She said she was, but I'll believe it when I see it. I do know some of the people she supposedly invited, so I'll call them to see if they would like to place an OO. It's one of those lessons learned. I'm going to start sending out the invites myself and see how this works. I'm trying not to get down about it. I'll just get back in the saddle and move forward. Summer is around the corner and I'm going at it with both guns blazin'!

Stephanie,
I am so sorry for your wasted efforts! That type of cavalier attitude from "hosts" is exactly why I started mailing out invitations! It made a world of difference!

 

[tlennhoff]

Oh geez. That is ... well I can't find words for it.

Good for you for trying to maintain a positive attitude. I think you'll find sending the invites makes a big difference.
