Hi all i am doing my 2nd combined party. My first was a great success... i have been out of the loop since my baby was born and also moved... so i figured this would be a great booking gig...


I need some suggestions and advice.... we are doing a mystery host give away to their fav party of their choice... with a good pts given if they book a show... in order to keep that date and not just get the points... there will be an additional bonus given after they close their show.

I am making the fresh lemonade with lemons and little umbrellas in the glasses... wanting to do the carribean theme...

as far as apetizers... i need something easy quick and non expensive... the other 2 party consultants will be bring apps too...

any help would be greatful it is june 2

Clubhouse chicken squares are my go-to recipe when I need something tasty and not too expensive. You can also cut them into more pieces to serve more people.

You can also make dip from any of our seasonings (1 cup sour cream, 1 cup mayo, a couple tablespoons seasoning), and serve it with mini pretzels. The BBQ rub makes an EXCELLENT dip, as does the dill or Southwest.

Hi there! I'm so glad to hear that your first combined party was a success and that you're getting back into the swing of things. Congrats on your new baby and the move! For your upcoming party, a Caribbean theme sounds like a fun and refreshing idea. The fresh lemonade with little umbrellas is a great touch and will definitely add to the tropical vibe. As for appetizers, some easy and budget-friendly options could be fruit skewers with a tropical twist (think pineapple, mango, and kiwi), a cheese and cracker platter with some tropical fruits like papaya or guava, or even a simple shrimp cocktail. Also, I love the idea of a mystery host giveaway and offering a bonus for those who actually book a show. That will definitely incentivize guests to not only attend the party, but also book their own. If you're looking for more booking ideas, I would suggest highlighting some of the amazing host benefits, such as discounted and free products, as well as the opportunity to earn even more rewards by having a successful show. I hope these suggestions help and I wish you all the best for your upcoming party on June 2nd! Happy cooking and selling!
