Ideas for Your Party Plan Theme Book

Need ideas for Themes for your Theme Book?



The following are themes I have used in my Tupperware Parties, but most can be adapted to any Direct Sales Business.

---

Auction Party

This is by far the most popular theme party that I do as a direct sales party plan consultant.

Guests who attend a home party demo using the Auction Party usually book with me, and the party theme they choose is almost always another Auction Party.

Great consultant games!

To prepare, you will need to make up Funny Money (pretend $100 bills) out of green computer paper.



Guests earn Funny Money for:

--Showing up on time
--Bringing a friend
--Bringing an order other than their own
--Answering questions
--Dating a party


Guests spend Funny Money on:

--Use the funny money at the end of the show to "bid" on different gifts

--Use one gift per five guests. Make sure these are larger items than just regular party favors

--The guests who do not get a large item get a smaller party favor

---

Wedding Shower Party

Always, always put a page in your Party Themes book about Wedding Showers. Many companies, like Tupperware, encourage customers to register for a gift registry. Be sure and mention this on your page if it is something you offer.

--Set up a bowl on a table for cash donations for the bride

--Guests put money into the bowl and the bride will be able to spend it at the party

--or, Have the bride fill out a gift registry

--Demonstrate basic or starter products

---

Banana Split Party

Have each guest bring a banana and give away points for various things like:

--Color of the banana
--Number of spots on the banana
--Size of the banana

Give out a prize to the person with the most points.

You may also want to encourage your guests to bring a "dressed" banana.

This can get quite silly!

Award a prize to the most creative.

For my parties, I demonstrate this party theme like this:

--(for Tupperware) Use the Serving Center to put ice cream toppings in, such as sliced bananas, cherries, nuts, sprinkles, etc, and the ice cream freezer containers to put the ice cream boxes in

--Demonstrate the Ice Cream Scoop

--As a snack, guests made their own sundaes!

This same concept can be used for other foods like BBQ Hamburgers, or Tacos, etc.

--(Tupperware) You can also make ice cream in the Tupperware Quick Chef by mixing frozen blueberries, cream, and sugar

Children's Parties

This is one of the popular party themes for stay at home moms. As a party plan direct sales consultant, this is very fun to do.

Invite mothers and their children. Hold your in home demonstration in the morning, on a weekday. 10:00am always seems like a good time.

--Demonstrate Children's Products

--(Tupperware) Show how Modular Mates and other containers can be used for toys and crafts

--Have a craft or other activity ready for the kids to do while the moms listen to the presentation

I recently wrote an article about doing Tupperware children's parties.

Couples Party

This is always a fun party to do.

You can demonstrate entertainment products for holding dinners and get-togethers.

Its great to invite your hostess and direct sales or party plan company guests to bring their spouse to your parties.

Men have a tendency to purchase more than the women if they see something they like! Take advantage of this!


(Tupperware) Make a Giant Kiss

--Give each couple a party favor funnel

--Block the hole with a mini marshmallow

--Coat the funnel with Pam spray

--Melt Chocolate Chips or a Chocolate Bar (you can ask guests to bring one) in a Heat n Serve in the microwave

--Pour melted chocolate into the funnels

--When it dries, pop it out and you have a Giant Chocolate Kiss



Couples party themes can be done with any company, just get creative! You can even branch off many party themes from this one concept!

Mystery Hostess Party

This is one of the party themes I always have a page for in my book, for the timid guest who wants all the goodies for hosting a party, but just doesn't want to actually have one.

For those who are interested, I will invite them to one of my semi-annual Mystery Hostess Parties. They will be required to bring a friend or two, and attend a party at MY house.

At the end of the party, I draw a name from those who attended, and that person receives all the hostess credit.

They get a drawing slip for:

--Attending
--For each friend they bring
--For each item they buy or each $10 they spend

Important to note: I do not credit the hostess of the original party for dating a party if one or more of her guests are interested in attending a Mystery Hostess Party.

Baby Shower

--(Tupperware) Show how to make Homemade Baby Wipes with the Square 2 Modular Mates

--Show how to make Homemade Baby Food with the Tupperware Ice Cube Tray and/or the FreezeSmart Containers

--Demonstrate Tupperware Midgets and show how they can be used instead of those prepackaged formula packets for travel

--Demonstrate other Baby Items

--Demonstrate Rock N Serve containers as a time saver, and encourage guests to buy a container and fill it with a homemade dinner for Mom for when she comes home from the hospital.

Pampered Party

I invested in several large buckets for guests to soak their feet in. They were asked to bring a towel.

I demonstrate several products that could be used to spice up a bathroom and different products that help to organize it.

(Tupperware isn't just for kitchens!)

I also give my party plan demonstration guests a recipe list of different bath products they can make and store in Tupperware.

Then we make our own bath salts, using Tupperware products, and each guest gets to go home with their own salts in a Midget container.

---

Microwave Meals Party

This is a good party for any Party Plan company that features kitchen organization products. For my parties, I demonstrate easy meals to be made in the microwave, and show off that line of products.

I focus on saving time, since many moms today are rushed for time.

---

Fundraisers

It is extremely important that you include a Fundraiser page in your Theme Book.

Many attendees at your party are on their school's PTA or are involved in children's activities or a church.

Each of these women will have an opportunity to participate in a fundraiser,

and many will be on the committees to decide what they choose as a fundraiser.

You want to make sure that they know that your company offers fundraisers.

I've recently come across a great site for those who want to include theme parties in their direct sales or party plan home party demonstrations.

This terrific site sells the theme party binders already put together!

Perfect if you are pressed for time or not the creative sort.

The pages are colorful, professional, and page protected.
