This letter is good, but it looks like a LOT of info that may be overwhelming to someone who's never hosted...

You might want to skim some of it and explain some things during host coaching, such as the business, etc.
 
wow we are close to each other!! I am in Crestview.

I think your letter looks nice but is a little lengthy. But some people need things like this when doing shows to help them understand better so really it is up to you.
 
Amelia - I have to agree with the others. While it's great info, it's almost "overload" - you might get cancellations from people who look at that and think "WHOA this is too hard!"

Here is what I put in my host packets. It's simple and breaks it down for them, and then lets them know I'll be calling them to talk more. Hope it helps!

I agree. I think 2 pages is too much info. I'll attach mine as well.

I would leave out steps #1,3,5,9. I send an email w/online ordering instructions. I think that the recipe options & receipt info can be talked about over the phone.
