What Should I Include in a Host Packet for Show Day?

[AZPampered Chef]

I want to include this in my host packets. Does anyone have anything that they would add or change? Is there something like this already out there that someone has done better?

Thanks in advance!

THE DAY OF YOUR SHOW

• I will arrive at your house 45 minutes to 1 hour before your show.
• Have an area prepared for the demo. If your kitchen isn’t large enough, don’t worry! We can do the demo in the dining room or another living area, as long as there is a large table for the demo.
• Please consider where you will keep your animals during the party.
• I will be preparing some yummy recipes, but if you’d like to have some snacks for your guests that’s fine. You’ll also want to have drinks available.
• When it comes time to sample the recipes, you will need to have plates, napkins, and any necessary tableware such as spoons or forks.

I think this looks good - I would send it separate from the host packet though - like as a post card reminder a couple of days before the show.

That's a good idea! If doing a postcard, I would also add how excited you are for the show!

I'd add a line to contact you if there isn't a table. I've got a card table I take for shows with that problem, but I don't leave it in the car (it's also my sewing table). Having the host let you know will give you a heads-up to pack a table (although that is something that should come up during host coaching).

To me it kind of sounds like these should be points to make during your host coaching calls. Especially the one about the pets. Just reading that could make some people who treat their pets as part of the family put off. If you talked to them about it during a host coaching call you could make it a bit more light and maybe offer a funny circumstance that you ran into when the pets really caused a problem.

Just my $.02. If you still decide to do it in written form, I like the idea of the post card better. It would need to be sent out early enough though so that they could purchase the plates, napkins, forks, etc.

That is all stuff I discuss with my host during call #3.

I Agree this would be part of the host coaching, but I think it would be great to send it as a reminder a few days before the show. Sometimes the host gets so much information that he/she may not remember these important points. It is a good idea to have it in writing. They are busy working on inviting guests, getting outside orders, and cleaning their house. Great idea.
