Create a guest list and set the date. The more people you invite to your party, the more opportunity for sales. Your hostess benefits (20 percent of party sales in jewelry credits) increase as the sales increase, so include your family, friends and work associates on your invitation list. Stress that the party is a great opportunity to purchase gifts for birthdays and holidays, or just to update your style. Paper invitations have a more personal touch, but invitations by email are faster. If you have more time to plan, mail the invitations, but if not, use email for quick responses. Encourage guests to invite their own friends and family to help increase the list of attendees.

Contact a Lia Sophia advisor. If you don't have any personal references, use the listing on Lia Sophia's website, where you can contact advisors in your area. Your advisor will coordinate with your schedule, confirm your guest list, and make plans to bring the appropriate jewelry selections.

Prepare your home for guests with simple appetizers and games to keep people entertained. Fruit plates and pasta salads are easy to prepare, and simple games, such as wordplay or bingo, inspire conversation. A home party is supposed to be a relaxed setting where guests feel comfortable shopping without a high pressure salesperson. The more fun people have, the longer they'll stay and keep shopping.

Set up an area specifically for jewelry sales and have a mirror on hand so people can try on their selections. Have plenty of table space available so the jewelry pieces can be easily viewed by all guests. Also have plenty of chairs on hand to accommodate them. Give your Lia Sophia advisor enough space to comfortably help customers and ring up your sales.
