I got a call from a new consultant doing her first bridal shower in a few weeks. The bride is from another state so all the free product and gifts will be shipped to her, but she wants to encourage all the guests to buy for themselves too.
The way I have handled this in the past is to have everyone place their orders. Then I divide all the orders into two big orders and have the bride's gifts go in as one big order in her name and ship it to the brides state along with the free product (the bride's the host) Then I put all the other orders in as one name and have them direct shipped to one address (either me or the host of the shower) and someone delivers them. Usually everyone paying shipping covers the direct shipping cost. This may not be the "proper" way to do this, but the times this has happened to me it has been thrown at me last minute (like after I take the orders :yuck
My new consultant isn't really comfortable doing it this way, do you have any other ideas???
Thanks!
