Now What? Sandwich Houseparty

[mrsboz]

I just got invited to the sandwich houseparty. I have never done one before. Maybe they told me what they will give me but I didn't notice it anywhere. Did anyone else get it and what exactly do you have to do?

I got this one too....I try to read the postings on the party conversations to get ideas. With the party pack, you'll get coupons to buy the Sandwich thins and its up to you how to use it during the party. You could set up a sandwich bar and have guests put together their own, or you could pre-make the sandwiches for your guests.

Go to the My Party site and see what will be coming in the box next week. The giveaways are grocery bags, coupons, recipes, and grocery list pads.

With the Olympics going on, I'm thinking of an Olympic theme...like who can make the most interesting sandwich, the tallest, sandwiches with names of countries....I'm still working on it too!

I've never done oen before. I'm just wondering how much this is going to cost me? Is it really worth it to do a party for them and we have to pay money? I just really don't know what this is all about. How many people are you inviting?

You can count your family too right? My immediate family is five alone so if I just invite four or five people I will be at 5-9 and that is what I told them that I would have.

The cost is really up to you. I go through my cupboard first and supplement with stuff from the store. I know I already have mayo, mustard, tuna, cheese. I have to buy fresh veggies and some cold cuts. I'll be going through my freezer to find some unusual makings. I could cut up chicken and make a chicken salad?

Try not to think of it really as a party, but more of entertaining. Invite people you'll have a good time with. Since there's already five of you in your household, maybe you could invite some kids and their parents? The point of Houseparty is to spread the news about their product...so even if you only have some people at your house for an hour or two, just give out the coupons and a sample....

There will also be information coming in your packet. Don't stress out! Its supposed to be fun! Oh, and try to remember to take pictures...I always forget and then I can't post pics about my party.

I got this one too.. I love those sandwich things and already use them. All you do is have a party..find ideas, recipes, etc., on the website. Then I post a few pictures. I don't know if I'm supposed to do more.

This is a question that has to do with houseparty, sorry for being off topic. But, does anyone know if you can put a seperate shipping address than your home address? I live in a Condo and would like my stuff shipped to my brother's home so I know it will be there! TIA!

I would change your address to your brothers for this party and then change it back afterwards. But the packs are being sent out this week, so I don't know if you can change the delivery address. Maybe you can call?

How you do it is up to you. I would provide the basics for the sandwhiches (ie mayo, mustard, lettuce, pickle, tomato) and then ask everyone to bring their favorite sandwhich filling (turkey, roast beef, tuna, egg salad etc).

We did this for a pizza party once, I bought crust, sauce and cheese. And asked everyone to bring a topping. We got a lot of pineapple (which surprised me), some pepperoni and olives.
