Tupperware parties are a great excuse to have a neighborhood party and invite kids, husbands and friends. Tupperware parties are also popular with moms and dads with busy schedules, and most Tupperware parties are held within the neighborhood. They also provide an opportunity for a few hours of socialization and smiles, without taking too much time from home responsibilities.

You don’t have to be a commissioned Tupperware consultant to host your own Tupperware party. In fact, most Tupperware parties are hosted by ordinary moms with the help of the consultant. Hosts are given free or discounted Tupperware supplies based on the sales made in the party. Tupperware parties are a great way to get your girl friends together, especially your married friends who will only be too willing to cut back on a trip to the mall from buying wares they need and are looking for some female bonding.

Tupperware parties may also seem a little outdated in the day and age of online shopping, but you can always make things a little more interesting by catering to an All-Girls Tupperware party that not only sells kitchenware. Some Tupperware parties also include sex toys and lingerie among the wares you can choose from!

When it comes to making invitations for your Tupperware party, keep in mind that you’re inviting moms and even dads, so it doesn’t have to be too elaborate or fussy. A simple invite with the words Tupperware Party! and even some Tupperware design ought to do the trick. More important than the design are the details, which should be printed clearly, stating the date, time and venue of the party. Include a telephone number, a cellphone number and an email address so your invitees can RSVP within a certain date. Don’t forget to remind them that attending will automatically win them a prize from Tupperware!

  • Display. Set up a display table where you can display different Tupperware items for sale. You should also be using these Tupperware items in your party, whether it be for serving food, preparing food or your kids’ toys. Make sure that you have a big table set up with a lot of chairs surrounding it so that your consultant can properly show all the Tupperware items’ features to your guests.
  • Decorate. Once you get these details settled, it’s time to prepare your party space for your Tupperware party. Tupperware parties are usually held during the daytime, so you can host outdoor activities such as a swimming party or a barbecue. You can use typical party decorations like streamers and balloons, but remember that this is a very informal gathering so you really don’t have to.

    Discussing for the tupperware party

    Discuss. A week or two before the party, have a sit-down with your Tupperware consultant to discuss some details of the party. These details include what Tupperware items are to be showcased at the party, selling and delivery arrangements, product catalogs and prizes to be handed out. Remember, if you’re holding a Tupperware party, it’s more likely that you’re doing it for your guests and less for yourself. So make sure that you and your Tupperware consultant smooth out the details to ensure that your guests and neighbors get the best and most efficient service and delivery of the goods they’ve ordered.

  • It’s Not a Mall. Keep in mind that you should not force any of your guests to buy any of the wares. One reason why many women feel unsure about going to Tupperware parties is that they feel like they will be coerced into buying expensive plastic ware. Gently remind your Tupperware consultant that your guests shouldn’t feel like they are pushed into making a purchase.

Once you’ve gotten the decorations and the business side of things down, you’re ready for your Tupperware party.

Fun Food for a Fun Party

Tupperware mainly centers around the food, so your food and drinks should be served with Tupperware utensils, plates and tableware. Highlight Tupperware’s colorful design and durability with these menu items:

  • Vegetable Sticks and Dip. Healthy and pleasing to the eye, serve these crunchy appetizers in colorful Tupperware chips and dips plates. Other appetizer options include tortilla chips with salsa and hors d’oeuvre.
  • Potato Salad. Prepare potato salad a few hours before the party and put it in the refrigerator to chill. Bring the salad out when the party starts.
  • Finger Sandwiches. Prepare an array of sandwiches and cut them into bite-sized squares. Remember that you want your guests to focus on the Tupperware and not be distracted by messy food, and small sandwiches make for a neat treat.
  • Pizza. You can save yourself the trouble of cooking up a storm by simply picking up the phone and dialing for a pizza delivery. You get it hot, fast and pizza’s always an instant hit for kids and adults alike. (Learn how to make finger pizzas)

  • Barbecue. There’s nothing more American than hot barbecue fresh off the grill (Tips on how to barbecue ribs). Assigning one of the hubbies to grill duties is one way to keep him busy while you’re all marveling over Tupperware’s newest products.
  • Fruit Slices. Colorful, cheerful and healthy, fruit slices are great for weight-watchers and they do a lot to showcase Tupperware’s design and colors.

When it comes to food in a Tupperware party, anything goes. If you feel like you don’t have enough funds to feed a big party, don’t be afraid to limit your food to sandwiches, chips and dips. Keep the drinks free-flowing. Some Tupperware parties are popular because alcoholic beverages are served, and moms don’t have to feel guilty for taking that occasional drink with friends.

Tupperware Party Games and Activities

Your guests would love to have a chance to win Tupperware items of their own. They’re free, after all! Here are some great things you can do to make things more interesting, exciting and a motivation for your guests to come again to your next Tupperware party:

  • Cooking Demonstration. Your consultant can show some neat tricks and tips on the various uses of Tupperware items by doing a simple cooking demonstration for your guests.
  • Watch this movie to see the demonstration of tupperware for the cook.

  • Tupperware Prizes. Assign prizes for early birds (first guests to arrive) and most active guests (the ones who asked the most questions about Tupperware) among some other categories you can think of worthy of a Tupperware prize.
  • Tupperware Hot Potato. Use a Tupperware item as a hot potato to pass around. The guests must form a circle and pass the item to the person next to them as music plays along. As soon as the music stops, the person caught holding the item is out of the game. This continues until only one remains.
  • Tupperware Guessing Game. A game based on Charades, guests must try to guess which Tupperware item the host is referring to using only actions. The guest who correctly answers first wins the actual Tupperware item being described.
  • Guess the Number of M&Ms. Fill a Tupperware pitcher with M&M candies. Have your guests list what how many M&Ms are contained in the pitcher. The person who gets the closest number to the actual number of candies, wins the pitcher and the M&Ms.
  • Tupperware Scavenger Hunt. Hide small Tupperware items at various places in your house. Hand out a list of clues on where they may be found. The person who finds the item gets to keep it.

Tupperware parties are not as outdated a concept as you think they are. People still like to see things before they buy and if you think about it, socializing and small parties don’t go out of style. It also doesn’t hurt that Tupperware is a very good brand of kitchenware, and everyone needs kitchenware! You can also host a Tupperware party for housewarming parties, engagement parties, off-to-college parties, all of which Tupperware items can prove to be very useful. Don’t miss out an opportunity getting a bargain from a Tupperware party for all the wrong reasons!
