I would like to run a idea through you all. I am planning on doing a open house in May hopefully. But I was wondering about when I do the flyers (we live in a neighborhood so I might just do half at a time) but, put something on them like bring this invitation for a chance to win a free prize. And like do a drawing every 15-30 minutes or so and have the invites numbered so that is corresponds with it. Maybe that will get more people to come if they know that by coming they automatically have a chance to win something. Just a thought. Would you do a demo or just have product and food out and just talk about it all. I know it would be to many people to have time for any kind of demo.
 
This is just my opinion. For a neighborhood Open House I would have some food out and products displayed. I wouldn't do a full demo. I would work the room and talk to everyone that shows up about hosting a party and the business opportunity.

Good luck and tell us how it goes!
 
Hi there! Your idea sounds great! Offering a chance to win a free prize is definitely a great way to attract more people to your open house. Plus, having a drawing every 15-30 minutes will keep the excitement going throughout the event. I think it's a smart move to number the invitations so that it corresponds with the drawings. As for the format of the open house, it depends on your preferences and what you think will work best for your audience. A demo can be a great way to showcase your products and services, but if you're expecting a large crowd, it might be difficult to do one-on-one demos. In that case, having products and food out and talking about them could work well. It's also a good idea to have some informational materials available for attendees to take with them. Good luck with your open house!
