Rowan555 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I noticed the house party option at Miniatures.com and since I coordinate a homeschool group, this might be something fun to do at one of our meetings. Has anyone done this, and if so, is there anything I should know? Seems like a good deal, but I'm wondering if there's a "catch" I'm missing.

Minis On The Edge Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have not done it personally but have a friend that did and she got a lot of nice stuff because she hosted it and got some sells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I was thinking about hosting a party, but none of my friends are into mini's . . . . unless a bunch of you would like to come?!! I'll put out the Green Apple Pucker and brownies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The Brownies got me coming! My friend who had one invited her friends who were non mini people....That is, until they came to the party. NOW she has mini buddies to play with. Wish I lived closer to her myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hmmm, maybe I'll put some feelers out to my friends and see if they're interested . . . I do have a birthday coming up! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_F Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I held a HBS house party last March. I didn't know anyone locally that was into miniatures (you have to have a minimum number of guests to qualify for some of the perks) so I emailed HBS and asked if I could host a party where family members in my same household placed orders and if that would qualify for the guest requirements. They said yes! It turned out that I was able to get other family members/friends outside the home to place orders as well (the HBS party was my birthday party :lol: ) and it was great! No hidden catch to the party - when you ask for & get your party information package - everything is explained in plenty of detail - there's no obligation for minimum party totals - but the higher your party total, the more mini's the host(ess) gets for free! We even got free shipping on the party purchases and the people at HBS were a dream to work with - very patient individuals with all the questions I had prior to my party! It was such a great experience that I am planning a second party in the near future Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks for the reminder my birthday is comming up soon too and I wanted to do one. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan555 Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 I emailed them last week and never heard back. I called today and the woman who answered said they don't reply to the emails, they just process the requests and send out the materials. For those of you who are like me and expect email confirmations, thought this might help. They did have my name on file, so obviously they did process it. I hope the catalogs come soon! I'm also thrilled to know that the orders can come from other people in the same household. My two kids want to purchase kits with their own money, so now I just need one more victim...er, customer...in order to get the free Coventry Cottage :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Sounds like a wonderful idea for you -- do invite your homeschooling moms, too, they'll love and maybe y'all can get goodies for the kids to do a Christmas project :lol: Keep us posted, it sounds like fun.
