When asking friends and family to do a show stress how it is a benefit to them to hold the show. You are not asking them for a favor you are offering them a fantastic opportunity to get free kitchen ware. I have a hard time remembering this. Do not make assumptions about whether someone would be interested in hosting a show or becoming a consultant - ask everyone.
Good luck with your new business.
