How to Throw a Fashion or Beauty-Product Party

Fashion and beauty-product parties provide a popular way for women to get together and share their ideas for looking their best. The beauty-product parties most often include consultants from commercial companies such as Avon, Mary Kay, VIE at home or Artistry by Amway. Lavish, Purse Party, Imagine Accessories and Petra Fashions offer in-home parties revolving around fashions and accessories. You could also throw your own fashion or beauty party using cosmetics available in stores -- and invite your guests to bring their favorite fashions to model and trade.

Instructions

Choose the kind of party you want to throw and whether you'll use trained consultants or your own favorite products and fashion sense. Contact a consultant if you choose to use a commercial-product line, and set a date.

Determine what kind of resources you need if you use a commercial-party format. Your consultant provides the information you need when scheduling a party and the benefits you expect with a successful party. If planning your own party, you'll need a place to display your wares, mirrors and a comfortable seating area.

Invite 15 to 20 of your friends to attend the party. Explain other options for making purchases to those who can't make it. These options could include an online business site with your party information, or ordering from a catalog. Ask for RSVPs so you know how many guests to expect.

Prepare beverages, and possibly small appetizers, for your guests. You won't need to serve much food at a cosmetics or fashion party. Keep beverage selections simple -- such as water, tea and coffee.

Begin setup about an hour prior to the party. Set out your display tables and products. Place your mirrors where guests can admire their selections without interrupting the flow of traffic in the party area. Set out facial tissues and wipes if you planned a beauty-products party.

Meet your guests at the door with a smile. Allow your consultant to run most of the show if you selected a commercial company. Chat with your friends and support their merchandise choices. Offer a place where your guests can try on fashions, if your party offers clothing. Offer easy methods of payment if the merchandise is yours.

Allow your guests to comfortably explore the merchandise at your party. Allot two to three hours from the beginning of the party until your last guest leaves with a collection of merchandise. Keep the focus on the merchandise and having a good time. Don't try to entertain your guests with party games or distracting activities.
