I'm doing a show for my Mom on Friday and will be doing her reminder calls for her tomorrow. I'm just wondering what you guys say when you call guests to remind them of a show. We mailed out invitations, but not everyone has RSVPd, so I want to touch base with everyone to make sure they are aware and to "entice" them to come.
 
"We are really looking forward to seeing you at the party on Friday! It's going to be a lot of fun. I have learned so many tips that I want to share and wait till you try the xxx I'm preparing for you. Please consider bringing a friend - the more the merrier! See you at 6:59!"

Always assume they can't wait to be there. They'll let you know if you are wrong and then you can offer to show them a catalog for the outside order.
 
Hi there! When I make reminder calls for events, I usually start off by introducing myself and letting the guests know that I am calling on behalf of my mom's show. Then, I thank them for being invited and mention that we have not received their RSVP yet. I also mention some of the highlights of the show, such as special guests or performances, to entice them to attend. I always make sure to be friendly and enthusiastic, and I end the call by asking if they have any questions or if there's anything I can do to help make their experience at the show more enjoyable. I hope this helps!
