Sndfrddy Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share their invitations they send out for open houses. The kind you just drop in for witout presentations or games. Just some snacks and drinks and cash and carry. Thinking of trying this at my house this year for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing. It's appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think this is a great idea, because I was thinking of the same idea in November to have an 'open house' to come between certain hours, have a few snacks, mingle and check out products to buy for Christmas time. I am trying to work on an invitation as well. I'm not sure if this is what you meant or not. I know there will be many others here, who are interested in knowing what to add to such an invitation as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Here is mine from last year. I did not mail them I just handed them out at work. http://www.amybills.com/invite.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thankyou very much for posting your last years invitation! Much appreciated! One question: Is it too rude to say somewhere on the invitation cash or checks accepted? That way people don't have to feel they need to get a large quantity of cash, not knowing what they might order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well, mine does not have any color because I did not have any color ink when I printed it last year. If you need help making an invite, let me know, maybe I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfswickery Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 on my Candle parties that are drop in at the bottom sort of small I always list what i accept. When I did my open house last year in Oct I did invite called a drop and shop party. I listed at the bottom once again that I accepted checks, cash, and most major credit cards. I just made it smaller so it did not stick out like a sore thumb. I think people liked that because i had a couple of ladies say they were glad to know I accepted cc before hand. That is just my thoughts on it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashlie K Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You can put "CASH AND CARRY ONLY" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You don't need to feel awkward about hosting a "party" for your products. It's not the same as having a personal party in your home. I send out E-vites for my open house. It' s a yearly event, I have it the first Sunday in December and I tie it into Christmas shopping, and every year it's been a huge success. If this is your first event, try using the word "Annual" in your opening line, for some reason that seems to bring more people in. Good luck with your Open House (that's the best way to have a party in my opinion, plus it takes pressure off of you hosting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Oh good grief, DO THIS! I do an Open House every year in December and it's a great way to rake in the $$ without leaving your house. Heh heh! I send a postcard to my customer list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 That's a great idea..........Do you get the postcards made for you? I know some places make customized cards like that........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Here is what I have come up with so far.....anything to add, take away or change?
