How big is your table? I've always split the table into little areas: wedding regsitry (SS bowls, fake bouqet with PC products in it, Small SA caddy and bowls, etc), Host/Guest special for now and next month, and relevent area (i.e. present ideas around holidays, grilling for summer, new products right now, place setting ideas for fancy smancy event, etc). I find that by setting areas I only bring what I need for each area for that small space and then I don't over-pack. It's also great to use a box or your crate to add height and visual interest to your display (and for carrying everything). I hope I helped give you some ideas

That sounds like a great space! You could even make 1 table half bridal/half fundraiser to help with those things! I also have made a tri-fold board (science fair board) that I set on a table that on one side has current month's h and g specials and on the other side and the next 2 months of host specials. I put these in clear pockets, so I can re-use my board) in the middle I put recruiting info, a collage of the "average" products a host gets for free, bridal flyer, fundraiser flyer. This always goes in the center of my main display, so it hopefully gets people to look at the other areas as well Just another idea. Also, a great thing is the quick stir pitcher filled with water and confetti, people (and esp. kids) love seeing how it works!

A little of everythingI agree, the new kit on a table would be a great idea. Also I would try to bring a little of everything. Popular pieces, new items and things you just love to show off.
Alot of our stuff is pretty small and not to heavy but will give a good idea to what we offer. The small saute pan can count for cookware and it's in the kit. One piece of stoneware, maybe a basket. Trifle bowl is a must.
Hope it goes well. Are you having a drawing? Are you going to let people demo on potatoes or veggies?
