Meet up with your consultant. Discuss whether or not games are appropriate, and allot a specific amount of time to playing games if you decide to proceed with them.

Plan games for more than the number of guests that have been invited. Some may bring visitors.

Tips & Warnings
Play games that promote the jewelry. For instance, give the winner an extra discount on a purchase, or give a piece of jewelry as a prize.
Limit the time for playing games. The focus of the day should allow for plenty of time to try on jewelry.
Watch for signs of boredom or disinterest during game time. Some guests may wish to exclusively spend their time looking at the jewelry.
