Congratulations!! There are so many great ideas on here about theme parties. Just so you know, every season PC comes up with three great "Celebrations" shows and they provide an outline, recipes, and recipe cards you can get to hand out to guests. Those are easy ones to start with because it's all formatted for you and the "training" is great with the step by step guides. But, you can do whatever you'd like. The ones I do most often are Death by Chocolate, Mexican Fiesta and "Sip and Dip" where it's mostly our dips or maybe a really simple appetizer. Or even "Simply Stunning Appetizers" or "Easy Entertaining Ideas" is good. I'll see if I have any files with anything pertaining to this.

I'm excited that you've decided to join with such an awesome company!!! Good for you. This is such a gREAT time to get started. Especially with the Jan and Feb host specials. Please feel free to post any questions you might have...this site is awesome and everyone is so helpful. I assume you have a consultant you've been working with?? Be sure to go to some cluster meetings! They are awesome motivation, training, recognition and FUN! Please feel free to post questions or email me if you want to.

Here's a file that I found that I received from someone else. I've done this show several times, especially this time of year.

Feel free to email if there's something specific you're maybe looking for. I'll keep searching! Some people do "Desperate Housewives" or "Survivor" themes. Some have even done a "Murder Mystery" kind of theme, but that seems like a lot of work to me. THen again, I've never done one of those murder mystery parties. My suggestion, especially starting out, it to stick to the simple ones, but ones that may give it a little flair, especially if lots of the guests have been to lots of PC shows.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Congratulations on getting commitments from four people to host shows in January! That's a great start to your journey as a Pampered Chef consultant. As for themed parties, there are so many fun ideas that incorporate the use of kitchen products. Here are a few suggestions:1. "New Year, New Kitchen" - This theme could focus on using new kitchen tools and gadgets to kick off the new year with healthy and delicious meals. You could showcase products like the Veggie Spiralizer, Indoor Grill, or Air Fryer.2. "Game Day Eats" - With the Super Bowl coming up in February, this could be a fun theme to showcase recipes and products that are perfect for game day parties. Think about featuring items like the Quick-Stir Pitcher, Mix N' Chop, and Stoneware Baking Pans.3. "Around the World" - This theme could highlight different cuisines from around the world and the kitchen products that make it easy to recreate these dishes at home. You could feature products like the Garlic Press, Food Chopper, and Knives.I hope these suggestions help inspire your themed parties! Best of luck with your shows in January.
