parties

Before your party

Choose a concept.
What kind of party do you want to host? Just a few options are a world bazaar, a retreat activity, a program for a study or class, a program for a women's meeting, a Christmas-in-August party, or a part of an party or emphasis. Our Web site offers free party theme ideas (see list at right), resources (see downloadables at left), recipes, artisan stories, country information, gift cards, and activities.

Choose a place and date.
What time of year do you want to host your party? Choose the place and date to host your party that suits you and your prospective attendees best.

Choose the time.
Plan at least 30 to 90 minutes for your party.

Recruit volunteers.
Talk with friends, family, and other group members to see who could help and what facilities are available.

Send invitations.
For ideas, see our promotional copy and party themes (see list at right). Feel free to create your own invitations with a color scheme or theme tied to one or more of the artisans' countries.

Serve snacks.
Recruit a friend to help prepare international snacks from our recipes. Appetizers and finger foods are better for parties than entrées.

Prepare party favors.
Duplicate the recipes on a culture-themed cardstock, if you like, and have these ready to give to guests as party favors.

Look through our items online and purchase products to display and sell at your party.
These items are returnable. Allow two weeks for delivery.

Order catalogs, if available.
Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-968-7301 to order catalogs for your party. WorldCrafts will provide you with a free catalog for each person expected up to 20 catalogs. For larger groups, please order a catalog for each 5 people. A downloadable version of the catalog and order forms are available online for duplication. As with other home party companies, WorldCrafts asks customers to share catalogs at parties as good stewards of limited resources. Allow two weeks for delivery.
