I think I have this in the right place for this question.

Okay I had a booth 2 weeks ago --got some really great contacts. Was sick and just now getting around to doing my drawing for a free cooking show. So I called the one that was picked out of the bowl (yes I was honest with it) called and the girl said, "well I live with my mom and I have to check with her", told her that I would follow up with her tonight (she that would be a better time). She also went on and told me how her Mother doesn't care for stuff like this that it maybe best to wait till "mom" is out of town. Now I don't know how old this girl is....what would you do? I know I have an 18 yr old son and if a PC party was the worst it got while we were out of town I think I would be happy:D ...but thats just me. I do know she has a baby.
 
I've had this come up and I've offered to let them have the show at my house. It's easier for them - no cleaning, etc...and then you don't have to leave!
 
Another idea that would work for this time of the year is simply to have it at a park! You could use a public shelter house and then perhaps if there are any older siblings, they could watch some of their younger siblings while the "show" is going on! I'm seriously thinking about promo'ing this for during the day this summer so that moms can have fun and shop while the kids are playing - and no one has to clean their house!!!
 
Andrea I like that idea.
 
That is a fabulous idea!!!! :cheerleader:

(that smiley never works for me :()

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wait for the mom's approval to book the booth winner?

It's generally a good idea to consult with the mom before finalizing any plans. This ensures that she is on board with the decision and that there are no misunderstandings about the booth winner's participation.

What if the mom is unavailable to give approval?

If the mom is unavailable, consider reaching out to her through a message or email. You can also set a deadline for her response to ensure that you can proceed with the booking in a timely manner.

How important is the mom's approval in this process?

The mom's approval is important as it fosters trust and communication. It also helps to ensure that the booth winner feels supported and that their participation aligns with the family's plans.

What should I do if the mom disapproves of the booth winner?

If the mom disapproves, it's essential to respect her decision. You can discuss her concerns and see if there is a way to address them, or you may need to choose another winner who has her approval.

Can I proceed without the mom's approval if time is running out?

While it may be tempting to proceed without the mom's approval, it's best to avoid doing so. Taking the time to get her input can prevent potential issues later on and ensures that everyone is on the same page.
