I am trying to figure out ways to put together an invitation and flyers for a show that I am doing for a couple that lost their home in a fire in December. My cousin and the daughter of the couple are hosting the show and then her mom will get all of the free products, plus we will have the list of products she wants/needs there too so people can buy for her...similar to a Bridal Show. Has anyone done a fundraiser show before for someone who lost their home to a fire? How did your word the invitations? Any other suggestions for the show? Thanks for any help you have!! :)
 
You could word the invites as a "Fire Sale"....this will get some heads to turn and then you could explain the situation and Date and Time!
 
That would definately get attention. I did one show for a friend (before I was a consultant) when her home was lost in a fire. It worked out well. You could put something about restocking the kitchen.

One thing I do for bridal showers is I cut out heart shaped pieces of cardstock (our local Ben Franklin has an accucut machine you can use if you purchase paper from them). I then put each item the bride wants on a heart along with the item number and the amount. I arrange these points in the middle to form flower shapes and put them on a poster board. I then cut circles and leaves out and draw on a stem to complete the flower look. Everything is attached with a non permanent adhesive so guests can come and take a petal off to indicate the item they are purchasing for the bride. That way there are no duplicates.

You could do something similar for this show. Either use the flower idea or "build" a house and use the bricks to write the product items on.

Good luck with your fundraiser!
 
I did this for a local family last year. The guy works with My John at the school... what I did was collect orders all month and the free product was chosen by the family. An email was sent out to my customers and then to all the school employees. I donated half my commission for the entire month of March last year. It wasn't my biggest month, but it was something extra for the family!

You should also contact the local newspaper and let them know about the fundraising efforts!

Comments please...Thanks for the great ideas for my fundraiser. If you would, please look over what I came up with for the flyer/invitation and then the product cards I will use. I went with the brick theme, to help rebuild/restock her kitchen. Any comments would be greatly appreciated :)

Nicely done! I hope this is a big success for you and Maxine!!
 
On the flyer it says "have something yummy to much on", instead of munch. Other than that it looks great!
