Depends! I give the options to my hosts. Email, postcards and full letter size. I explain about postcards getting lost in the mail at times, emails being blocked by servers sometimes. I let them choose.

I have had only 1 cooking show in the year I've been doing this. Most of my shows are online catalog shows for friends around the country. We send an email the day the show starts and an email 2-3 days before the show is closing as a reminder.
