Purse Party Mania

Are you thinking about hosting a designer purse party for friends, colleagues or family and wondering where to start? Hosting a home purse party (also known as a handbag party) can be a fun way to get together and socialize. Using the services of a a purse party consultant is a great way to ensure the success of your party and cut down on the amount of work that you have to do personally.  However, if you want to host it entirely on your own without the help of purse party consultant, here are a few tips that will help ensure that your first designer purse party is a success.

1.  Sourcing Purses and Handbags – The first step toward creating a successful first designer purse party  is finding a good source for the purses, handbags and accessories that you will have on display at your gathering.  Although large purse party companies are the perfect option for those looking to start a designer purse party business, someone wishing to host their first party on a shoestring budget is better off  finding one or two local stores that are willing to loan purses for the  event. You should find that many small businesses are  willing to supply you with a few designer purses on the understanding that you will pay them for any purses that you sell at your party. (Some may require a small deposit.)

2.  Determine a Location and Menu for Your Party – Usually, you will want to host your first purse party in your own home or that of a friend.  Although venues are sometimes rented for larger events, don’t attempt this for your first designer purse party unless you are absolutely sure that you will be able to get enough people to cover the costs.  Instead keep the party setting small and intimate.  A small venue and a simple menu will help you avoid being overwhelmed by planning and will keep your costs down.

3.  Advertise Using Email, Free Media and Social Networks – Use email to invite friends, family and casual acquaintances.  If you want to expand your list of invitees beyond these people, then consider using free media sources and social networking sites.  Free classified ad sites like Craigslist and social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter can be great avenues for getting the word out about your designer purse party.

Keeping your first designer purse party straightforward and simple will help you ensure your success and provide you with a great springboard toward bigger and better future events.  Now get out there and start planning!
