I am new to PC, I want to do an Open House but my house is too small. Is it okay to do one at a meeting room at a local hotel? Please help. Also any ideas on flyers or invitations for Open Houses? Jeanette
 
Hi Jeanette - I had the same issue not too long ago. My husband is in the military and I am doing a show for our wives club (about 40-50 wives) next month. My kitchen and living room combined couldn't seat that many people comfortably. So the host and I decided the battalion classroom (which is a classroom type environment the guys use) would be the perfect place. And because I won't have access to an oven, stove, etc. I am doing a sip-n-dip theme for the warmer months ahead. Anything that needs the use of a major kitchen appliance, I am making ahead of time. I would definitely consider a local hotel and invite as many people as possible because more than likely not everyone will be able to attend. Take advantage of the large area! Best of luck to you!!

As a fellow PC user, I can definitely relate to wanting to host an Open House but feeling limited by the size of your house. I think it is absolutely okay to look into using a meeting room at a local hotel for your event. It may even be a better option as it will provide a neutral and professional space for your guests.When it comes to flyers or invitations, I would suggest keeping it simple and eye-catching. You want to make sure your event stands out and entices people to attend. You could include a photo of your products or a special offer to grab people's attention. Also, be sure to include all the necessary information such as date, time, location, and any special instructions (such as RSVP or parking information).One idea for a flyer could be to design it as a mini catalog, showcasing some of your top products and highlighting the benefits of attending the Open House. You could also consider sending out digital invitations through email or social media to save on printing costs.Overall, don't stress too much about the invitations. The most important thing is to spread the word and make sure people know about your Open House. Utilize your social network, word of mouth, and any other resources available to you. Best of luck with your event!
