[Best of Boards]  [BoB for Bunnies] [Tealited Tidbits]

*Give each guest a balloon as they arrive -see the Balloon Game on Games

Welcome
TP Roll Ice Breaker
This works especially well if you are late arriving to set up - while you are setting up your display toss a roll of toilet paper around the room, telling each guest to take "as much as they think they'll need". Be sure to tell them not to worry - you grabbed a double-roll as you left the house to make sure there's enough...
Then when you are ready to begin, each person must tell something about themselves for each square of toilet paper they took! At the end, count up the squares, I give a tealight for most & least number of squares.

Who brought a guest?
* Tealight for each unplanned guest & the person who brought them

Left Right Game

I left my house and was on my way to (Hostesses name) house.  But I left the directions at home right by the phone!   I knew right away that I needed to have the right directions to (hostess name) house, so I turned left and I turned right and made my way back to my house for the right directions. Sure enough, there they were, right where I had left them, right next to the phone.

Finally, I was on the right track.  I arrived right on time and set up my display right over here.  You all arrived and sat right down. I'll get right to work and tell you all about our wonderful company, hostess program and income opportunity.  I hope nothing will be left out.  In a moment I will be showing you our exquisite candles and products.  If you left home with the intention of shopping for gifts tonight, remember, we have the right gift for everyone. Review your shopping list, we wouldn't want anyone to be left out. We have just the right gifts for Birthdays, Anniversaries, and even just those special occasions.

PartyLite has a 60 day money back guarantee! When your merchandise comes in please check it right away and if something is not right please call me right away and you can be sure I will take care of it right away and make it right.  You don't want to be left with something you are not 100% satisfied with, right?  If you’d like to be a Hostess and earn lots of free merchandise, or if this is the right time for you to explore joining PartyLite as a Consultant, please talk to me right after the demonstration.

I’m enjoying the being here with all of you tonight and I hope that you are having fun, too.  I know you can't wait to see if we have that special item you have been looking for and so without further delay I will get right to the point of this demonstration, which is showing you our fabulous candles and accessories.  Therefore, there is really nothing left for me to do now except to congratulate our winner! Right?
