    How to Host a Scentsy Candle Party

    Scentsy candles are wickless wax bars that emit fragrance when they are warmed. The products are not sold in stores but through a network of independent consultants. When you host a Scentsy party, the consultant will bring products and displays to your home. You may hold a regular home party or choose an "open house" format. With a regular home party, the consultant gives a presentation to all of the guests in attendance. For an open house party, set a two- to three-hour time in which guests can stop by at their leisure; the consultant will then give mini presentations as people arrive.

    Party Hostess Duties

    Being a good hostess means being attentive to your guests. As a hostess, make sure your guests are happy and having fun at your home or party venue. The hostess is the point of contact for every guest and must take care of any and all problems that may arise during the event.

    How to Host a Fairy Tale Ball

    For a fundraiser that's more fun than the typical black-tie evening, a fairy tale ball may be just the ticket. Entire families can attend, giving you access to an audience that may not have attended in the past because of the difficulty finding babysitters. Make sure you enchant the children at the ball with the food and entertainment, and they'll make sure mom and dad take them to the ball every year.

    Ideas for Hosting a Music Listening Party

    Hosting a listening party is an opportunity to combine the elements of a good party with some good music. The event may be as simple as children performing a few songs they have learned on the piano or having a impromptu rock concert in the back yard -- or as formal as hiring a quartet to perform at a black-tie event. The type of music you are listening to at the party will dictate the other elements. A recital by 6-year-old children requires a different type of party than a performance by a professional chamber orchestra.
