• I am looking forward to your party on ______. One of the most enjoyable aspects of hosting a Pampered Chef Cooking party is to choose your recipes…and here they are! Keep in mind these tips as you look over your choices:
  • One of the most important things I’ll need to know is how many guests you expect at your party, so please plan to give me a confirmed guest count when I call you 2 days before your party. The best advice I can give you to ensure your party is a great success is to invite everyone you know and to follow up with a phone call a couple of days before your party to remind your friends and also to get their RSVP. All of my successful hosts agree that this is the key to more fun and more free products!
  • When your confirmed guest count is 12 or more, which is our goal, you can choose one appetizer or main dish AND one dessert for me to prepare. If your guest count is less than 12, choose any one recipe for me to prepare!
  • Please have all the items set out on your counter for me EXCEPT the refrigerated rolls, biscuits, or breads. You don’t need to measure, chop or slice anything for me – I’ll take care of all of that! If you can just do the “Prepare Ahead” instructions on the menu that would be great.
  • Have a drink station ready so your guest can help themselves. That way you have time to greet everyone when they arrive.
  • All I need for my demo is a table or counter to work from…and don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of room in your kitchen or living room…being “cozy” is great!
  • You may serve more food, if you’d like, but don’t feel like youmust. Many hosts just put out quick snacks like cheese and crackers, chips and dip, etc. But if you LOVE to cook and entertain, feel free to get creative! Better yet, if you love hosting a party, then please consider becoming a consultant…many of my hosts do exactly that! And the great thing is that YOU can take all the bookings from your party to get your business off to a great start, plus you can get a discount on your starter kit!
  • Relax and have fun! I promise I’ll do all I can to make your show a great success and an enjoyable event for you and your guests!

Sincerely,
