How to Do a Wig Party

Hosting a wig party can be a fun and creative way to make extra cash.

Hosting a wig party is a dynamic way to get together with your girlfriends and co-workers to dish about hairstyles, beauty and most importantly -- buying wigs. As the majority of wig parties are held by distributors or wholesalers, usually in the privacy of someone's home, you can allow guests to learn about wig application, styling and selection. You may be hosting the party simply because you're a social butterfly who has a great deal of women in your list of contacts. You can capitalize on the commission sales as the event hostess or if you're in the wig sales business yourself. No matter if you're hosting a party for entertainment or enterprise, plan it impeccably.

Instructions

1. Select a group of women you'd like to invite to the party. Think about who may be interested in wearing wigs as well as those who may take offense to the invitation. Limit your party to a manageable number of guests depending on your venue and individual attention you will be able to provide. Keep larger parties for when you'll have assistance greeting guests.

2. Book a venue for your party. Host the event from your home, another guest's home or an independent location depending on your budget. Reserve a small hotel meeting room or private room where you will have enough space for setting out your wigs and a few refreshments. Make enough seating available for your guests to sit as well as space for them to mingle.

3. Stock your inventory. Purchase one or two of the same wigs for on-site purchases. Purchase another one or two in styles that may attract guests that you didn't consider. Remember that not all of your guests will have the same taste as you. Purchase extra wig pins, wig caps and plastic combs and brushes for guests to use while trying wigs on.

4. Plan the party. Arrange catering for a more formal affair or if you simply don't want to fuss with handling food and beverage needs for your event. Make your space festive even if that means putting out a few colored balloons and table clothes. Play some music for guests as background music to set the tone for the event. Choose to serve guests cocktails, wine or non-alcoholic alternatives.
