Make a Party Packing List

Have you ever gotten to a party or event and realized that you've forgotten something really important?  Have you forgotten something that's not really that important, but you forgot it nonetheless?  Well, today, you're going to make a list that insures that never happens again.  You should have a list of everything you take to parties and have it ready to print and check off as you get ready for your parties.  Last week, we talked about organizing your week and having a day where all you do for your business is get ready for parties.  I have a hard time making any of these priority over the others, so I'm just going to write them in the order I think of them.  I'm also including a downloadable checklist you can edit for your needs.  This is a list that you use to make sure you can do that:

• I make Sample Packets to make sure I don't forget anything for application purposes, but if you don't, you'll need:
      Alcohol prep pads
      Orange Sticks
      Files
      Samples
      Business Cards
      Application instructions
• Even if you do have sample packets, you'll still need to bring:
        Nail Scissors
        Cuticle Pushers
        Heater
        Extension Cord
• I also have my binders that have my sample packets in them as well as:
        Customer Care Cards
        Catalogues
        Pens
• Include 5 Hostess Packets (or more!)
• Calendar
• Party Bank
• In case of guests with painted nails, I also bring:
        Acetone/Nail Polish Remover
        Cotton balls or pads
• Don't forget your Book to Look Boxes! (Make sure they're the right ones, haha.)
• You'll be lost without basic business supplies like:
        Calculator
        Receipts
• Hostess Gifts
• Party Prizes
• As a last look, make sure you're not supposed to bring something for refreshments (see Theme Parties).

Homework:  Tell me what your checklist has on it, or what I forgot!  Due January 26.
