Hostess coaching is key too. The hostess has to stress the fun, not the product!
We do need to keep in mind that Jen Fong's expertise is in social media, not parties. That influences her opinion on this, I'm sure.

Hi Razorbackmama,
Just wanted to let you know that I actually do have quite a bit of experience with parties. I work with Luce, Murphy, Fong and Associates helping companies create and launch, which includes writing and evaluating their parties. I conduct parties myself on a regular basis as part of this work. In addition, I was CEO of a party plan direct selling company for several years, and had much experience with the party from that aspect as well.
I hope this is helpful!
Jennifer Fong
