Party Prep

Plan Early
The earlier you can tell your guests about the party, the more time they will have to clear their schedule and commit to attending your party. Send out your invitations as early as possible. Ask your consultant to help you do this.

Over Invite
Plan to invite 2 times the amount of people you want to actually attend. If you want 20 people to attend, you will need to invite at least 40 people.

Hold The Date
Rescheduling a party can drastically reduce the final guest tally. Once you schedule your party and announce the date, try to keep that date finalized.

Email & Phone Calls
It is a good idea to email your guests 7 days and 1 day prior to the party as reminders. You should try to call all your invited guests at least 3 days prior to the party to obtain a final head count.

Setting The Stage
Setting up your home for the party needs to be completed prior to your guests arriving. Please discuss the needs of the consultant prior to the day of the party. They often times need a spare table to display their samples. Some consultants bring items that need to be plugged in (like a stereo or electric vibrator), so please allow them access to an outlet. The ordering room should be a private room in which the consultant can take a few minutes in private with each guest for the ordering process.

Helping The Consultant
As the hostess, you may be asked to help the consultant during the presentation, or during the ordering process. Please coordinate with your consultant regarding any times they need an extra hand.

Safety & Shopping Smart
We encourage all our hostesses to obtain the full name, phone number and email of your consultant. You may want to ask for a mailing address of the consultant, however, this is not mandatory for the consultant to release their home address for any reason. You may verify that they are an independent consultant with our company by asking for their unique website address. Each website is personalized with their information. If you cannot find the consultant's website, we highly encourage you to call the corporate office to verify that the consultant is active and in good standing. Brown Bag Party is not responsible for non-delivery of products. To ensure you and your guests receive the products you pay for in a timely manner, please ask for a receipt of all your purchases and the consultant's contact information prior to the consultant leaving the party. Our typical shipping times vary by location. Other than back ordered products, our normal shipping times are 6 days to the eastern time zone, 4 days to the central time zone, 3 days to the mountain time zone and 2 days anywhere in the western time zone. These times are from when we receive a paid order from the consultant and should be used only as a guideline. Please direct any shipping issues directly to your consultant. If they cannot be reached or the problem cannot be resolved, feel free to call the corporate office at 866-849-4697.
