Ditto what Beth said.
Unless you have another show & can tack their orders onto that show. But you'd have to be willing to go the extra mile to pick up the orders from the host & get them to the guests of the failed show. It would be a little extra customer service and they would probably appreciate it.

You could put it through as a single order, so that at least her "guests" would be able to split the higher shipping costs. You could then add it to an existing show, too, as an additional order, and help out a hostess who is doing really well, as a sort of "reward", as it would probably boost her show to another level.
That being said, I'd probably add a little something to the order, for your cousin, for her efforts. Something small, that is...perhaps a grill rub?
