Invitation Wording Tips for a Successful Event with Casey

[clewisrae]

I have read tons of posts and I still can't find the right verbage for my invitations. I'm going to send the invitations through evite.com. I am a new consultant in my first 30 days and I want to host a show at my house for my family/friends. This is going to sound bad, but I want the specials so I can add to my kit. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Casey

why don't you post some ideas of what you want to say and we can help you tweak it.

I want people to know that it will be from 2-4. I will have everything ready when they get here. They can come in & out between those hours. I don't know what I am making yet, but I'm gonna make 3 or 4 items. I want them to be able to come to my house. See the products and I'll answer questions, and they can order. I don't want them to feel like they have to come and stay from 2-4. I will also be playing the PC Pool and they don't have to be present to win. They will pay there $2 per square and I will draw a number once the party is over and call the winner.

Based on my experience, as well as others here, you don't want to use the "open house" phrase. It's better for people to think that they need to RSVP and that there's a specific start/demo time. Otherwise, they won't let you know whether they're planning to come, and they probably won't come at all.

Ann is totally correct! Sell it more as a Holiday Extravaganza or customer appreciation show.
