Planning a Spring/Summer Open House: Need Help Wording Invite?

[nikki70563]

I need help with some wording to put on an invite. This is my plan I am inactive right now so I am planning to do an open house/spring/summer party on March 15th. How do you do an open house, need help wording invite, etc?? Any help please

Also besides catalogs what else should I get off the supply list that I would need because I have nothing for this season?

Do you want to offer door prizes? Mystery host?

I have done tickets - get one ticket for coming, 5 for bringing a friend, 5 for placing a $20 order, 20 for booking a show, etc... And then raffle drawing anything you might have in your stash OR draw a name to be the host of the show and get all the bennies.

You could do "everyone attending gets a gift" and make it a twixit or scraper or recipe card...

I don't understand what you are asking about supplies.

 

[nikki70563]

I don't understand what you are asking about supplies.

I know I need to get some catalogs because I have not got my changeover kit so just wondering if there is something else that I would need besides catalogs for my show.

 

[kspry]

Receipts is all that I can think of.

I just found a stack of F/W 2006 receipts. I am going to tear off the wish list and use them instead of buying new ones.

edit - and draw a line through the top where it says 2006, put the day's date of the order.

 

[nikki70563]

thanks....

This is what I typically order:Catalogs
Order Forms
PP Receipts
Season's Best Recipe Collections (10 in a pack) - I give 2 at each show (host/drawing winner)
Twixit Clips (these are my freebies at shows)
Come Join Us booklets
Your Life Your Way brochure
Recruiting DVDs
Packs of Invitations
Pack of Show Planners (free)Those are the basics to start the season. I sometimes get spices that I need to replace or fundraiser flyers/host benefit flyers if I need more, but I don't need those often.HTH!

Yeah, you can order everything - but the minimum needed for a show is catalogs & receipts.
