We recommend having one person posted near the door who’s responsible for greeting guests and having them sign in. This also allows you to follow-up appropriately and continue building relationships with your donors. It’s important to get everyone’s name, email, and phone number when they first arrive so you can track who attended. ![]() We’ve also put together a helpful party planning checklist that can be found here.

Promotion: Decide if you want to create a printed invite, or just invite people online through sites such as Evite or Punchbowl.Work with the hosts to create a guest list, and encourage attendees to bring a friend or associate to help grow the list.

You can use funds from the distributed fundraising program to cover costs of fundraisers like these. Budget: Create a simple budget for the costs of the event.Also be sure to give yourself enough time to send out invitations and get the event on folks’ busy calendars. Timing: When deciding when to hold your house party, be sure to consider key dates, such as holidays and annual community events that might compete with yours.(Note: committee members can definitely take on more than one role.) ![]()
