Which Tastefully Simple party type is right for you?

The party is really at the heart of Tastefully Simple: getting friends and family together for an evening of food and fun!  But there's a lot more options than just the traditional "pass and sample" party.  Here's a rundown of our party options:
  1. The Tasting Party! Friends and family at your home or a public gathering place
    1. Relax and Savor - You and your guests sit and enjoy a presentation while we pass around individual products for sampling.
    2. Mix and Mingle - This "buffet style" party is more casual, with brief presentations before and after the sampling period.
  2. The Catalog Party! You gather orders from your friends and family
    1. Traditional Catalog Party - You'll have catalogs and order forms that you'll pass around to your friends and family.
    2. Online Party - You can share an online party page with friends and family, and they can place orders online.
    3. Hybrid Catalog Party - You can use both traditional catalogs and order forms plus online ordering to maximize your orders.
  3. The Facebook Party! Your friends and family visit a Facebook event page at a certain date and time and participate in online chat and interactive fun.  Your guests can then order online at the conclusion of the party. The Facebook Party can be combined with a catalog party.
  4. Freezer Meal Workshop - This is a totally different kind of party: a number of guests each pre-purchase a product collection that is used with additional ingredients to prepare a bunch of meals that can be frozen and heated up later.
All of these party options earn the host the same rewards: free products based on party sales and monthly host specials.
