Depends.
If it will bump your catty show up to the next level and help her out I would do it! (She will be happy too!) If you do add it, you can do one of two things: still charge them direct shipping and put it onto the catty show like that so your catty host wouldn't be bothered at all...or, add it onto the catty show and you can run over there and pick up the products when they come in. No matter what...don't make your catty host "work" any harder.

I'd do the same. I usually always try and add individual orders to a show I have closing. The host will be pleasantly surprised and thankful.
And, once, I had another nurse from my husband's work give me an individual order for over $200, so I turned it into a catty show and made her the host. She was very appreciative, since it lowered her total quite a bit.
As for the shipping, I don't really have that problem, since each customer has to have her items individually shipped here.

I never charge full shipping unless someone wants something right away and I have no shows going in. If I'm adding one little thing, I just make sure it's OK with the host. If I have a few orders, I'll add it and just have the show shipped to me. Less work for the host and my guests only have to pay $5 shipping - everyone is happy!

Another thing that I'll do sometimes is add the extra order to the host's show that's already going in and only charge the $4.00 shipping. But I do it as a direct ship and pay the difference. We live in a rural enough area that driving to pick up the product at the host's house and delivering it to the guest could easily cost me more than the 2 or 3 dollars that I pay in extra direct ship charges.

We have to direct shipping, since I'm on an overseas military installation.
We're not allowed to "receive goods for other people" in our boxes. So, if guests ship to their hosts or to me, we can get in big trouble...
If my customers were allowed to only have $4 shipping, they'd be SOOOOOO happy!!

Ok thanks everyone..
The catalog show is being done by a friend who lives in GA...And the persons placing the orders are here, where I live in TN..so regardless, of whether I added it to the catty show or sent in as orders, they were paying the direct shipping either way.
Thanks you guys!
