A party isn't a party without people - let's go get them!

First, create a physical guest list! It's more important than you think to write names down. Try to quickly jot down 80 names; not everyone you invite will want to (or will be able to) come, so plan to over-invite! Usually only 1/4 of invited people will attend. As people say YES, it will be easy for you to track those names on your list! Feel free to use the document below to help you do this. *I know 80 feels like a lot, but I bet you know more people than you think; and I would guess that your Fb friends list is at least 3x that amount! Turn on Netflix, set a timer for 8 minutes, and see what you come up with. Easy!
Inviting your Guests - this is the most important step!
📱Simply copy and paste the invite below, and adjust it to sound like you; people can smell a copy/paste consultant message a mile away (if you do not know how to copy/paste, message me and I will help you).
⭐️ PRO TIP: You will have better results if you end with a yes/no question. Yes/no questions invite response. Remember those middle school notes with the Yes/No/Maybe boxes? Everyone replies!
My challenge is for you to have at *least* 25 guests that want to attend your party and that get IN the party group! Having at *least* 25 people in the group on your behalf seems to be the magic number that makes sure you earn a host package! If you easily get 25, don't stop there! Keep going; the more guests = the more lives impacted!
📱Message your friends/family one at a time. Individual messages are 7000% more effective than group texts/messages (ok, I made that number up, but trust me - sending invites through a group message is bad news bears for a party!). Plus, individual messages tells each friend that you took the time to think of them personally - invite the people you would invite to your house!
👉 Because you're in Facebook, be sure to add the person's name to each message to make it unique and keep you out of Facebook jail. 🤪
📱Try to message 50-100 people; the more you invite, the better your party will be!
👉 For friends who are reached more easily via text message, texting may feel more personal - so feel free to send each of them a personal text in lieu of FB Messenger.
⭐️ PRO TIP: Over invite and keep going until you have 25 yes RSVPs! This is a good number to ensure an amazing host package!
An invite message you can use - be sure to make it sound like you!

Hi <<NAME>>! I am hosting an online Norwex event to learn more about reducing toxins in our homes. I love <<insert something YOU love about Norwex & why!>>. The event will run from Tuesday through Friday next week. There is no live event to show up for - it's like an online open house and we learn about cleaning without harmful toxins. I thought you might be interested in checking it out. My consultant is even sending samples to anyone who wants them to try before you buy! 📬😀 I'm looking forward to learning and connecting with friends this way. It would be so fun to have you join us! Want to come check it out?
Getting your Guests into the Party Group:
This step is for your YES people! Send your YES guests this message:
I'm so excited you can come!! Please click this link: https://linktr.ee/NorwexParty, click the Facebook party group at the top and request to join. My consultant will get you added right away! 🙂 I can't wait to "see" you there!
🚫Please do NOT just add people to the group without them telling you, "YES" first! Mass adding people feels spammy and puts people in a weird Facebook limbo!.
Resist the Urge to use the Invite Button!

🚫Please do *not* mass add people to the group without them telling you, "YES" first! Mass adding people feels spammy.
💡Send the party group link TO your *yes* people and let them ask to join. Please do NOT add people using the "invite" button! Using the invite button puts people in a weird Facebook limbo!
ONE LAST THING...
People get invites for stuff all.the.time. and often don't respond right away. Why? Typically because they get distracted.
Don't let it bother you when people don't respond. It's actually very likely they're interested, but just forgot to respond.
👉 If you don't hear back from them within a couple of days, check back in. It will make them feel like you're really thinking of them and want them to come, not just messaging everyone you know.
⭐️ PRO TIP: Here's a great way to follow up! "Hi {first name}! Oh my goodness, the days are all running together and here it is already {insert day of week}! 🤦♀️ My Norwex party starts {insert date} and I forgot to follow up with you! How are you hanging in there?!"
I APPRECIATE YOU!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to read and consider these best practices. It's not rocket science, but I've found that every successful party starts with two things in common:
1) "OVER" inviting to get 25 "yes" guests. You never know whose life will be changed by your willingness to share Norwex with them!
2) HOW people are invited to the party. When they see that you took the time to personally reach out to them, they'll be more likely to invest their time in participating in your party.
I am so looking forward to our workshop! Please reach out if you have further questions. Otherwise...HAPPY INVITING!
