How to Throw a Lingerie Party
Host a lingerie party in your home to obtain free merchandise. In addition, most companies also offer their party hostesses discounted and bonus items. Review your options before selecting a lingerie sales company; you want one that will provide you with the most benefits. In most cases you earn hostess gifts according to the event's sales amount, so work with your consultant to plan a successful lingerie sales party.

1
Contact a lingerie party consultant to schedule your party. If you already know a lingerie sales consultant, book your party with her directly. Otherwise, you can find a sales representative in your area via the website of the lingerie company.

Choose a date and time when you expect a lot of people to be available. Evening or weekend dates may suit women who work full time, but an afternoon might be best for guests who can attend while their kids are in school.

Send invitations. Include friends, family, co-workers and women you know from social circles such as clubs. Invite many women--you'll need several guests for your party to be a success. Ask your consultant to provide door prizes for attendees who bring a friend. Advertise this on your invitation.

Plan to serve food and drinks. Coffee and cake, wine and cheese or a buffet of finger foods are suitable for this type of party, during which guests will be playing games, trying on lingerie and submitting orders.

Plan party games with your sales representative. She will likely have several game ideas. Pick the games you feel best suit the personality of your party guests. Ask your consultant to provide free samples and game prizes.

Ask your lingerie consultant to visit your home before the party. This will help you set up the party space for her demonstration. Provide ample space for everyone to participate as well as a private place for women to try on lingerie. Provide a table where your consultant can sit and process guest orders after she has completed her demonstration.

Obtain catalogs in advance. Pass these around to prospective guests to generate interest in the event. Collect catalog orders from friends who won't be able to attend the actual party.

8
Review the benefits you'll get for hosting the party. List the items you want and discuss the amount of sales your party must generate for you to obtain this merchandise. Find out if another guest will need to book a party for you to reap these bonuses. If so, ask a friend who likes the products to book a party of her own.

9
Wait until after the party to review your final benefits. Check over your order to insure you are satisfied with your choices. Ask your consultant to contact you the next day to collect your final order.
