The second Bachelorette Party

Was not as bad as the first. The first cost me money because they stole one of my items plus none of them ordered. Taught me a good lesson though.

The second one was fun. The girls ordered, (most of them anyway) and the bride was taken care of. But I still didn't make a lot of money, the party did $500, so I made $200, still worth my 3 hours.

I have ANOTHER one on this coming weekend (tis the season!) and I employed my rules with them. They had to give me a head count two weeks prior to the party. (no less than two weeks or the party is considered canceled) Then if they have a certain number of girls, they have to gather a donation to the bride "booty" of a certain amount. Up to 10 girls, they have to each give $20, after 10 girls to 15, they give $15 per. 15 and up, they give $10 per. Giving the bride some shopping money and that is their gift to the bride, plus the bride receives the hostess credits, giving her more. Then if the party doesn't order; the way I have seen it go MANY times, the bride is covered. :)

So this party, I have already gotten head count, it's going to be 9 girls. So the bride will have $180 to spend on her own items and they can shop too knowing she is taken care of. We'll have fun too, I play two games to lighten the mood and then a demo geared towards how the bride keeps the momentum going with her man.

We'll see how it goes....
