When I've done them, I always have some sort of snack on SA. Last year it was cupcakes from the floral cupcake pan. Take a piece of stoneware, a piece of cookware and several SA pieces to show how they mix n mingle. I did one a month or so ago and got some florist's foam and shoved all the cranberry scrapers in it. I put it in the trifle bowl and used the striped towels to cover the green and fill the bowl. It looked great. Tie a ribbon around it for an eye catching display. It was the centerpiece of my table. Anyway, hope this helps some!
 
Yeah I need some ideas, as I won't be doing a regular show and I don't know how these routines usually go..HELP
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I provide drinks at my open house?

Yes, providing drinks can enhance the experience for your guests. Consider offering a selection of beverages such as water, iced tea, or a signature drink that complements the food you're serving. This will help create a welcoming atmosphere and keep guests refreshed during the event.

How can I encourage guests to place orders at the open house?

To encourage orders, create a sense of urgency by offering exclusive discounts or promotions for guests who place orders during the event. Additionally, provide a clear and easy way for them to place orders, such as a sign-up sheet or a mobile ordering option.
