ok your reffering to an open house in your own home. not having one at someone elses house. don't open it up to the public if your not comfortable. its your home you do as you please. invite friends, family, past customers, people along those lines and tell everyone to feel free to bring a guest. make sure you give everyone a time frame instead of telling them it starts at such and such a time. you don't want people to feel like they have to show up at a certain time telling them it runs from 12 - 5 and to show up anytime is the best way to go about it. if you choose to serve food keep it to a minimum. people have a tendency to eat and run. (free food who can say no). i'd say get some cheapo clipboards from walmart and put an order form, business card, catalog/ brochure, and anything else like that that you have on each one and as people come in hand them one and a pen so they can fill out as they go around. set up a table with atleast one of each product you make so people can see it and all that. and just make sure to be availible for question. i like having cash and carry because people like to leave with something and try to have actual samples to give out to people. gotta love samples i don't have any pics but you can go on my website and get an idea of how we set up for craft shows. theres a pic on the home page.
