So I had my first party last night and must say that it was a complete success! The sun was out and the heat was low which made it a beautiful night to sit poolside and talk about some Tupperware.
I must admit that a little pang of nervousness hit right before my guests arrived but that quickly faded once they started coming in and browsing the catalogs. I had wanted to make it more of an Open House format but given that it was a small number of guests (10 total) I was able to individually answer questions and give brief explanations of some of the items currently on sale.
Each guest walked away with a small token of my appreciation for coming and the winning members of Family Feud Team #1 all went home with a snack cup, one of my all-time favourite Tupperware products.
Seeing as I was the actual "host" of the party as well, I wanted to give away some of the goodies that hosts can actually get when they have their own party. Frances' breath mints in her purse won her the watermelon special addition tumblers and bucket while Lila's Kleenex still in a package (my sister was mad that I wouldn't count all of her Kleenex that were strewned about her purse) won her 1/2 price on an item in the regular catalog.
All in all I would say the party went off without a hitch really. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun -- I hope my guests did as well. They were in and out in under 2 hours and everyone left with a little something from me for FREE, which is always a nice bonus, and a smile on their face. Mission Completed.
I decided that if I blog about a party, I would put down some of the particulars in order to show potential hosts all the free product and great benefits they can get for hosting their party and to help out other consultants as well when they plan their parties.
