I have a shower on Friday and I had heard somewhere about a "packet" you give guests? What do you all give the guests? Just a catalog and order form or what? Please help, I gotta do this tonight! THANKS!
 
Catalog, order form, pen.

I put them into a manila file folder so they have someplace to keep receipts. Some people use 2 different colored order forms for showers, so they can keep track of purchases for the bride, and guest purchases for themselves.

thanks ann ... i didnt really want to print off a whole bunch of stuff to give them ... i can handle the catalog, order form and pens!
 
I don't give them order forms until the very end. My guest packets have:

3 x 5 card with my contact information
door prize/drawing slip
blank sheet of colored paper for wish list, writing down ideas, etc.
current special on 1/2 sheet
catalog
Why Book a Show Tonight? flier


Mine are in homemade lap boards. I used 3-ring binders with pockets in both the front and back. I cut the ring portion out, giving me 2 boards from each binder.


It doesn't wind up costing me a lot. Most of the stuff can be reused all month, and not everyone takes the contact card.

Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming shower! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I love to give my hostesses and their guests a special "packet" to make the most out of their event. In addition to a catalog and order form, I also like to include some recipe cards featuring our products and a special hostess gift for the shower hostess. This way, guests can see the products in action and get some inspiration for their own cooking. I would be happy to help you put together a personalized packet for your shower tonight. Just let me know and we can work together to make your shower a success. Best of luck!
