14 reasons to host a home party in 2014

Having grown up with a mom that enjoyed having & going  to home parties with family & friends, I've always loved the whole concept of getting the ladies together for fun and shopping! I was mystified by the Consultants that would teach us about the latest MUST-HAVES and how they can provide solutions for whatever area their expertise was.



Whether you're a regular PARTY GAL, or you are thinking about hosting your FIRST-EVER home party, here are my TOP 14 Reasons to Host a Home Party in 2014!

1. Home Party companies have great HOST REWARDS, so you can get the products you love FREE or at a DISCOUNT!

2. How long has it been since you've been saying "We need to do something together?" Your friends NEED AN EXCUSE to get together!

3. FEEL GOOD because you are helping to grow a business! Home Party Consultants are small business owners who rely on Hosts to help them meet new people. With no "storefront", they NEED YOUR HELP to meet your friends.

4. Be the EXPERT! Introduce your friends to your favorite products...when they see how great they are, they are sure to THANK YOU!

5. You put a lot of care into your home, BE PROUD. Use that living room that you've decorated perfectly, or show off your newly remodeled kitchen.

6. Have a PAY IT FORWARD PARTY! Donate your free products to your favorite charity or give them to a friend who could use a kind gesture!

7. STRENGTHEN YOUR COMMUNITY by getting your neighbors together to get to know each other. Also, shopping with Consultants in your community helps strengthen finances for those in your area.

8. Setting a party date creates a firm deadline to finish projects on your "Honey-Do" list, and is a great reason to clean the house :)

9. You get ONE-ON-ONE EXPERTISE and RECOMMENDATIONS from your Consultant who can help you figure out which products are perfect for you!

10. GET THE KIDS INVOLVED! They will learn a great deal about social skills be watching you and helping you prepare for a party. From inviting guests, to preparing for the party, to greeting guests as they walk in the door, it's all about how to pull off an event!

11. If #10 isn't your cup of tea...Use the party as an excuse to GET THE KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE! Need a break? Girls Night In? A Home Party is is PERFECT EXCUSE!

12. Make a VALUABLE CONNECTION. By becoming friendly with a Home Party Consultant, you will have a great resource the next time you need a business contact, whether it's for a fundraiser that your church needs, a function at the school, or even if you just need advice on someday starting into a business of your own.

13. STAY UP WITH THE TRENDS. Home Party companies are typically up with the latest & greatest! It's a simple way to stay current with the latest trends without having to search them out in retail environments.

14. GET GOING! If you've been considering starting your own business, a party is the perfect way to see how the process works, ask lots of questions, see if the Consultant would be a good partner with you as a Sponsor, and you may just be able to start for free or at a discount from your party!

Since I am a HOME PARTY LOVER, I hope that at least one of these 14 reasons have inspired you to schedule your own Home Party for 2014! I'd love to hear which one spoke to you the most, please leave a COMMENT below :)

Having a gathering? Wondering how much dip you should prepare?

Figure on about 2 tablespoons of each dip per person unless there is no other food being prepared. If the majority of the guests are teens you might want to consider double that amount!

Don’t forget the Blue Aztec Chips; about 1 oz or 18 chips per person is a normal serving.
