I had my first show last night and only 4 people came. My host got alot of outside orders though and it was over $300. I got 3 bookings 2 shows and 1 catalog. Yea! I did the Tapas and they loved it. Thanks for all of the encouragement of this board. I made alot of mistakes, but on average I think I did fine.
 
That's great! Wow, that's a lot of bookings for a small number of people at the show. Congratulations! Way to go!
 
Congrads!!That was a great first show. Awesome on the bookings. :)
 
Congratulations!~Great Job! Don't you feel better now that your first show is over? After my first show, I thought WOW! I really can do this! :p Congratulations and good luck on future shows!
 
Congrats!! I can't wait!! So how long after you got your kit did you have your first show? I think I'm going to have my first one at my home. Probably only 5-6 ppl as well so I hope I do as well as you did!! :p

Congratulations!Wow, you got a lot of bookings off that show - fantastic!
Don't worry about the mistakes, remember, you're
pampered, not perfect! Also, if you forget what you
were going to say, just remember, no one else there
knew what you were going to say next so improvise!

CONGRATS on your first show! VERY EXCITING! You must have done a GREAT job to get all those bookings from such a small show. See...small shows are not always a bad thing.
 
Don't worry about any mistakes you made. Chances are your guests didn't even notice them. I've heard people on this website and from others that we are pampered chefs not perfect chefs! :p
