Please take note of these important party reminders:
Your 30-day window begins at the Date and Time of the Party Event, not the day you create the party.
Parties can be created in advance, however, orders may not be placed within a party greater than 60 days before the event date.
Please be mindful of this TIME detail: Parties close 30 full days, starting from the day and time of the party. For example, if you party was tonight at 7 pm, Day 1 would be up at 7pm tomorrow night and so on…
Therefore, it may be a good idea to schedule those online party TIMES later in the evening to catch any last-minute sales.
As a reminder, parties automatically close in one of two ways:
-
When the Hostess order is placed, or
-
Thirty days from the Party Date and *TIME* of the Party
Here are some quick tips + suggestions regarding party dates:
-
Parties can be opened and receive orders in the party before the party date.
-
Parties that already have an order placed cannot have the party date moved.
-
Set reminders on your calendar or in your phone so you don’t forget!
-
It’s a good rule of thumb to remind your hostess to place her order as soon as the party is over, or at least a week before the party automatically closes.
-
Create parties/offer party dates for the same day of the week so you’ll always know when to look for closing parties (2+ days prior, to be safe).
Parties with orders placed cannot be extended by Customer Service beyond the close date: If your hostess chooses to reschedule a party that already contains an order or orders, you must close out that party. You could also choose to simply create a new party while leaving the original party open for more potential orders until it nears the original 30-day close date, just remember to place any hostess orders if rewards are earned.
