Well, it came, we did, and it went. That's pretty much the whole thing in a nutshell. K agreed to bbq and I got potato salad, macaroni salad, juice, soda. I set out my demo kit on the dining room table, sort of how it looked in "The Setup" picture. Out of about 25 invitees and maybe 14 replies, I expected 11 to show up, but 8 did. It was ok. We soaked our feet and my girlfriend helped to remind of things to do. She was the only one who ended up buying stuff. My mother is supposed to have her Girls' Nite Out soon. That was the real purpose: to get my girlfriends to have pampering parties at their houses. Anyway, we talked and ate and tried stuff. Wasn't as whiz-bang as I hoped. I'll have to try again... *sigh*
I know you're all wishing the best for me. Thanks.

yep - keep at it. so now you know, you've got to spread the word/invites out to lot's more people. i think if you make it look as 'casually professional' as possible, the sales will come. meaning, maybe do a simple, cute business card - and hand it out to all your friends and their friends, etc. also, set up at the party is key too. make it it look as professional and 'put together' as possible. organise products as they would in the store.
Oh, wow, my first online prayer. That was the nicest thing anyone could do for me. Thank you, Tiff!
Btw, my mother brought her camera, but I forgot to take pictures until it was all over, hence the pix of the kids.
I've thought about my business cards. I'm not sure how close to the template I have to stay. The default title is "Independent Consultant." I was hoping to have something like "Pampering Specialist," or "Independent Pampering Consultant." You know, something different so people will ask me what I do.
