Wow! So, I have a host later in the month that I haven't heard from at all....she hadn't responded to the host coaching letters, emails, or the phone call I made.
Just now, she sent me an email - here is the body of it:
Becky,
Attached is my invitation list for the Pampered Chef party on Thursday, Jan. 28. What time is it going to be held? The list is extensive, but my past experience is, invite everybody & hope for about 10 people. I will be out of town from Thursday, Jan. 14 until Monday, Jan. 25.

The list was an excel spread sheet, so I'm thinking when I open it up it will be 40-50 names, 60 tops.
Nope, not 40-50. Not even 70. This lady has 101 names on her guest list! It's going to cost me $50 (plus minis and envelopes and labels) to mail these out!
So - I'm thinking I either find a way to ask her to pare down her list (quickly as she is leaving for vacation!) or I just mail postcards. She won't be home until a couple days before the party, so I'm not sure how she's going to contact and make reminders....and I didn't get phone #'s, but she did give me emails for about 1/3 of them.
What would you do?
