I just got my 3rd cancellation for the month.. AARRRGGHHH!!

The host has been ill & in the hospital & just isn't up to her party this weekend. I offered to let her guests know & she gratefully accepted.

I'm trying to draft an email & so far have "Dear Friends & Family of ____,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, _____'s Pampered Chef Party on April 10th has been postponed until further notice. She was really looking forward to having you all over and showing off her new home and hopes you will be able to attend when she picks a new date."

Help me tie it up. Should I mention the fact that they can book their own party?
 
Do you think you might want to have an "online" party with her guests, so that they could take advantage of this month's specials? Then, when she is feeling better, you could still have another show with her. More sales this month for you, and may just boost the enthusiasm and anticipation for a show next month or so, too!!

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion! I attached the Trifle Bowl flier and added a blurb about the sale & the fact that it makes a great gift for Mother's Day, bridal showers or weddings and instructions for online ordering so the host would get credit.
