How to Buy at a Jewelry Party

An invitation has arrived for a friend's home jewelry party and you can't wait to go! From experience, you know that these parties can be intimidating. There are so many jewelry choices and the prices are a little unexpected. If you keep your cool and don't get caught up in the party atmosphere, you can leave this home party with a great treasure and not break the bank.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Assess your jewelry and wardrobe and determine what you need the most. You may have a favorite necklace that needs matching earrings or a cute matching bracelet. Write your needs down on a small tablet.
2. Invite one or two friends to come with you. Most home jewelry party consultants offer gifts to guests who bring friends. You might score a cute piece of jewelry this way.
3. Arrive at the party right on time or a few minutes late. Most hostesses serve festive alcoholic drinks before the home party and you don't want to drink one. The more drinks you consume, the more jewelry you might buy!
4. Look at your tablet frequently to remind yourself what you really need. Only focus on those items that match your criteria.
5. Ask the hostess if there are any specials or sales going on at her home party. This might help you decide between jewelry pieces.
6. Walk away if you do not see anything you wish to purchase. Don't feel bad if you do not want anything and don't buy something because everyone else is. Head to the snack table and enjoy the party from there!
7. Inquire about hosting a party. If the jewelry is still out of your budget and you really like what you see, you might get some free pieces by hosting a home party of your own.
