Not quite sure where to put this, but I managed to run out of the Guest Order Forms for the F/W catalog. I thought I had another pack of them, but they are the S/S 07 ones. :cry: Can I use these, just pulling off the wish list? I don't want to buy more if I don't necessarily need to! I have to say, I've never seen anyone use the wish list at my shows!

They're the same, right? I placed my order for the S/S 08 ones already, but I have a few shows before I will receive them!
 
So long as they are the write-ins you can use them. I always use mine from season to season. Just tear off the wish list and you'll be fine.
 
That's what I do, too.I LOVE that the new order forms for Spring are designed to be used over several seasons. I also like that HO moved the special shipping and "consultant use" areas to the back to remove confusion.

Me too! And the outside order forms actually have ROOM for consultant information now!


Thanks everyone!
 
I have never used the order forms they send us, I always print my own (oustide order forms) off and use those at the shows.
 
I got this idea from another consultant who is really into earth friendly things....she hands out the drawing slips & explains her earth friendly way of doing things is have them list all their want items on the back of it & what they don't order she can keep track of & let them know when/if it goes on sale. She also takes her laptop to the shows & gets all the info entered on it & then tells them she will email them their receipt.

The problem there is that it's not a legal receipt, unless she gives each guest a sheet of the receipt paper at the show to print it on. Our receipts are supposed to have the boilerplate on the back about warranty, etc.

Nicole:

I have at least 30 of them left if you want them--they don't have my info on them either! Let me know. I am in the phone book if you want to call me or you can e-mail me at: [email protected] .
 
I have a full pack of the itemized ones and won't need all of them - send me a PM if you are interested.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I run out of guest order forms during a party?

Are there any differences between the current guest order forms and the S/S 07 forms?

Yes, there may be some differences in design and product listings between the current guest order forms and the S/S 07 forms. However, the essential information needed for placing orders remains the same, so using the older form is still viable.

Can I print additional guest order forms if I run out?

Yes, you can print additional guest order forms if you have access to a digital version. Just make sure they are formatted correctly and include all necessary details for your guests to fill out.

Is it acceptable to mix different versions of guest order forms at a party?
