I have a host that is having a cooking show. I am now sending out invites for my hosts so I was wondering does anyone have anything cute or clever to put on invites for people who are out of town or state that you know are not going to come to try and get them to place an outside order...

I have been trying to make invites with the invite icon provided for us with "Avery" suggested, but I have a Mac (APPLE) and it's just not working (or I might add that I'm NOT able to make it work). I really need help here is there someone that can help me? thanks in advance, Carol:eek:

I have been very intentional this last year in cutting down expenses, but they are still too high and I am embarassed to post them here. I did notice that I spent over $700 on postage. This does not include the cost of mailing the hostess packet. I have been mailing out the invitations...

Trying to get this done today....I have been increasing my use of the theme show invites that PC offers us. But...what is the way around the "you can't type on them and save your own copy?" I know I've poosted on here before looking for one and somebody was so kind and sent me an invite that I...

While I'm searching through the posts on here, I thought I would ask as well since some of you are so quick on here... Here's the situation, my friend is having her housewarming tomorrow, she is then hosting a show for me on the 24th. She has already sent out over 100 evites, but we wanted to...

I've been really hurting bad the past several months. My shows just aren't panning out. I've tried stepping up my host coaching, but still the shows are bombing. The catty shows are falling through, the cooking shows get cancelled. This month is the first month where I don't have the...

When you are sending out invites in an envelope do you put your address or the host's address in the return address spot?

I love to send invites, but I have found lately that the hosts I have recently insist on handling invites themselves. I've explained about being willing to mail mini catalogs and invites (etc.)... What do you say/do to get a guest list? Do you find people would rather not bother with...

For those who have been doing the mini catalog invites with a postcard or full-page invite (or for anyone who wants to respond), are you going to use the new labels on CC? Are you going to use the label in place of your full-page or postcard invite and just send the mini in an envelope with the...

I would really like to start sending the invites for my hosts, but I'm not sure how to get started. Here are a few questions I have... When you give them the host packet, what do you include as far as a guest list? How long do you give them to get you a guest list? Do you have problems...

Does anyone have a couples show invitation they have used in the past that they would like to share? I have a couples show coming up and it is the first one that I have ever done - any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks much.

I took the teleclass on PWS Savvy, but it was more on basics. So, I have many questions : 1) I was hoping to learn how to modify the titles and pics on evites. I know that we can customize emails and save them, but how can we individually customize for each host? 2) Can we send...

My baby is turning 4!! I am planning to do a pool party for him in June, but wanted to make the invitations myself and put his picture on them...anyone have any creative ideas on how to do this?

Has anyone done up anything that I can slip into a mini catalog that I use for my invites??? Thanks a bunch.

Has anyone mailed out Bridal Invitations and included the mini catalog? Does this take more than one stamp? Do you think it's tacky to mail the mini with the invitation?

those of you who send the mini catalogs as the invites... you still send the invite with show info on it or do you print out something else with the show info on it? If the first is the case, what do you put on the right side where normally the guest address would go? I'm sending some today...

I went to the local HO training and one thing she suggested was this: Don't ask for bookings. Instead, offer a service of teaching people how to cook on a budget. She said have the host ask guests to bring a recipe with five ingredients or less. Then, when have each one come up and choose a...

For the first time, I have a host who has e-mail addresses for all of her invited guests. She has done a good job with going on my website and entering in all the information. I am wondering though if I should just send "e-invites" via my website or if I should send physical invites as...

I've just started filling out the invites for hosts...do you put the hosts' phone & email, or yours, or both? What do you find is appropriate & effective?
