Select Invitations to Your Purse Party

Work with your consultant or purse party company on invitations they provide. These invites are usually custom made for each party to showcase the merchandise that will be available.

Send an electronic invite as a back up--or replacement for--print invitations.

Decide on a format for the invitations. A hastily made flyer will not attract as many customers as a pre-printed card. Custom-designed invitations add a personal touch to the party.

Look for purse-themed invitations to get guests excited about the party. Check craft stores and websites that cater to bridal showers for shopping-themed invites.

Consider creating elaborate invitations for a high-end purse party. Even something as simple as attaching a purse-shaped favor bag with few chocolates to the invitation will entice a few big spenders your way.

Select invitations that get your point across without being an advertisement to the purse party company you are working with. Remember that you are inviting your friends to a party, not setting up shop.
Decide What to Include on the Invitations

Make sure to state on the invitations whether or not those invited can bring guests. Since purse parties usually count on word of mouth for sales, you want to be able to house the maximum of guests without it being too crowded.

Define the type of purses you will be selling. Most purse parties these days are for custom bags distributed by a few companies. While these purses are similar to designer bags in style, they are not knock-offs or replicas.

Ask guests to RSVP, so you can get an idea of how much food to serve and how many purses to have on hand. Always plan for a couple of extra guests.

10
Include your phone number or email address in case guests want to ask questions or need more information about the party.

Tips & Warnings
Send your invitations out about two to three weeks before your purse party, so that people have time to set the day date aside.
Including the website for the purse company you are working with may help showcase your merchandise, but it may also encourage people you invite to hold their own parties rather than attend yours.
