Last-Minute Bridal Shower Gift: Get a Pampered Chef Item!

[PCSarahjm]

Last night at a show a couple of ladies ordered gifts for a shower(which is Sunday). I want to give them a little card or something to give to the bride at the shower saying she will be recieving a Pampered Chef item. Does anyone have something like this? I have to get it to them by this afternoon. TIA

I have just given blank pretty cards and have had the guests write out a personal note (I picked up the cards at a dollar store). I do this at my showers, where there are no gifts to open. Each guest fills out a card with what the bride will be receiving and a personal note of congratulations, and then the bride opens the cards in front of everyone and reads off what she'll be getting.

Oh, good idea! I just let the bride look through the order forms after the shower. The other thing I did (because I can't figure out a better way to do this) is I created an extra guest named (the name of the bride) Bridal Gifts. I separated out the guests orders and added their items for the bride to this guest (wrote a note for the guest on their receipt, noting the total they spent on the gift). I gave this to the bride for her receipt for guarantee purposes, and printed an extra copy for her noting who gave her what items so she'd have that info for thank you notes. If anyone has a better way of doing this, I'd love to hear it. The reasons I did this were a) so the bride has records for warranty and b) to keep her gifts separate from her own order so all items count towards guest sales.

I did this card, really simple. If you don't like it you can change it. You might even cut out a picture of what she is getting or copy and past it to the card before you print. (That's what I would do). I'd just print on cardstock. You can get the envelopes at the office store.

I did the card on a postcard template, just ignore the lines.

Here's a sampled of one I do in Word. I have fancy paper with a border that I print it on.

I copy and paste pics of what was ordered for them if specific items were ordered.

I do almost the same thing-but use the brides married name for this purpose, and her maiden name for the host benefits receipt.

My director always puts the orders from a shower that are gifts for the bride, together as one order, under the spouse's name. That way, the bride, who is the host, has all her products on just two order forms. My director says she also pays the $4 shipping on this order, if needed.

This works, except in those months when guests get something FREE with a $60 order; in those cases, I have to keep everything under each person's order. I mark on the receipts as to who gets what, (bride or guest), and have the show come to me so I can personally sort it. I like to handle my bridal showers "with kid gloves", to make sure it's done correctly, then I deliver it to the bride when it comes in.

Hope that helps!
