Hi Ladies,
I'm good at wedding planning, but terrible with basic parties. I'm hosting a Thirty One gifts party to help get free or cheaper extras for my bridesmaids. I'm having a destination wedding and so I'd like to get them bags/luggage in addition to a necklace or earrings. The consultant I'm working with is amazing. She is even offering me 5% of the commission from the party to use toward purchases on top of the hostess gifts. But I'm concerned. I realize she will "run" the party. But what do I need to do? I've never even been to this type of party. Should I be providing lots of food, or just appetizers and drinks? Also for the record, I"m not inviting the bridemaids to the party. I don't want them in anyway paying for their own gifts.
Thanks!!!
