Velata Home and Book Party Success GuideIt’s exciting to have you as part of the Scentsy family. We want you to be successful and profitable while having the necessary tools to build a strong foundation for your Velata business. We have created this Home and Book Party Success Guide as a tool to help guide you on your path to success. This e-book is a collaboration of successful Independent Velata Consultants who wanted to support your dreams of building your business.

We’ve added lots of useful and creative tips, plus forms you can use at your discretion.

Let’s Get Started…Home parties can be the lifeline of your business. Maybe you started your Velata business with the intention of focusing on online sales, however, we don’t want you to miss the value of holding an open house, home party, or organizing basket parties. All are successful methods of marketing Velata products, finding new Velata Consultants and building a customer base for future sales. You may find you enjoy the social interaction and sales from these marketing methods along with your online methods.

First, get to know your products, the company history and plan for questions guests might ask. Create note cards with important tips you want to remember to share at a home show or with prospective book show Hosts. If you know your products and information well, you won’t sound scripted during a home show or consultation with a potential Host or recruit.

It’s easy to talk about Velata products, especially if you are passionate about them and love what you do. People are naturally attracted to enthusiasm and excitement, so let your passion show! It will make your sales and recruiting much easier

Host Coaching & PacketIt’s important you provide all the tools necessary for your Hosts to have a successful show. The following pages include suggestions for organizing a home, basket or book show.

Home Show Packet….

Create a binder with the following information included. To keep your information and flyers fresh and neat, place them in sheet protectors.

1. Velata Thank You Letter – Thank your Host! Also, recap the date, time and approximate time you will show up to setup and prepare for the show. Let your Host know you will be in and out of their home in approximately an hour and a half. Keep to this commitment so they know what to expect from you and realize you value their time.

2. (3) Current Catalogs – Be sure your contact information is on your catalogs.3. Order Forms – Minimum of (10) for outside orders. Again, be sure your contact

information is on each form. Please advise the Host to have customer’s fill out their name, address and phone number on the order form for processing purposes.

4. Hostess Memory Jogger – This form will help jog her/his memory on whom to invite. See above sheets

5. Invitations – Your goal should be a minimum of 40 to 50 guest invitations. Statistically, less than 1/3 will attend, so coach your Host to get as close to this number or higher, if possible. Mail an invitation to your Host, as well!It is best for the Consultant to mail the invitations for the Host. Doing so, generally results in a better turnout and sales. Mail a Velata postcard invitation at least 10 days prior to the event date. The goal is to have the post card delivered, to their home, at least 7 days prior to the home show date. One suggestion: Let your Host know if they get 40 on their guest list, you will mail them at your expense. If not, they will be responsible for the mailing cost. This doesn’t remove the responsibility of the Host to personally call and invite each guest. Remember, nothing can take the place of a personal invitation from the Host. If you do mail the invitations, be sure to get your guest list back from the hostess in a timely manner. Give host two weeks to complete it and tell her/him you will be contacting them if you don’t receive it. Hopefully, the host will have email and can email the list to you. If not, include a form for the host, with self-addressed envelope, for them to mail the guest list to you

6. Host Program – Make sure your host understands the Velata Host program including the Booking Coupon, (Perpetual Party Half off.) Ask your Host if there is anything they are working towards then coach them on how to go about achieving their wish list.

Page 5: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

7. Coach Your Host to Success! Have Hosts: Invite at least 40 to 50 guests. Personally call each guest and get RSVPs. Advise guests, who are unable to attend, to place an order online.

Consultants…make sure you have their party setup under events on your Velata personal website so those guest can place their order to go towards the host party total.

Gather at least 5 outside orders or $150 in sales. Get two bookings before their scheduled event. This will help them earn even

more free products. Consultant is responsible for completing the booking coupon for their Host.

Talk to your host about what food items he/she wants to have for dipping. Complete Who Do You Know Worksheet – Provide our Who Do You Know

Worksheet for your Host. You can modify this list easily and use it to help them create their invite list.

Close Party Within a Week to 10 Days – If they don’t close their party the night of their show, strive to get them closed within a week, if at all possible. Holding them open longer will cause a long wait for customers.

8. Business Card – It’s always wise to include your business card for future reference.9. Host – Monthly Special – If there is a Host or Monthly Special be sure to include a

flyer detailing the promotions.10. Velata FAQ – Answers to our most asked questions. We have provided a FAQ sheet

for your use. You will find this on Page 10.11. Host Envelope –The Host uses this envelope to place their collected money and

orders in for safe keeping. You can use the one we created on Page 16, or buy them from Velata success/Business supplies located in your Velata workstation.

It’s important for Consultants to follow-up with your Host at least two weeks in front of their show date and the week of their show.

Make sure your Host is prepared! Ask them if they have personally called each guests and if they have an RSVP total. In addition, remind the Host of the time you will arrive, expect to leave and a brief overview of your party agenda.

Your success will depend on how well you coach and prepare your Host. Poor Host coaching will result in low sales and disappointment for all those involved. Help your Host by providing them the tools they need for success, by being prepared and offering their guest a fun and exciting evening

Important Note: After the Host receives their Velata products, schedule a time to go over the products and to answer any questions they might have. This is simply good customer service and follow-up.

It’s Show Time!

Page 6: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

The date of your show has finally arrived! Here are some tips and suggestions for having a fun and profitable home show.

1. Arrive as Scheduled – Be sure to be on time and arrive at the time you scheduled with your hostess. Don’t be in a hurry and show up in a frazzled and disorganized state!

2. Host Welcome – Thank the Host for inviting you into their home and sharing the Velata products with their guests. If you choose, you can provide a small thank you gift, such as extra forks, a Velata spatula, or an additional lid.

3. Refreshments – Remind the Host to prepare and have ready the refreshments that will be used for dipping.

4. Display Setup – Use baskets or decorative items, you may already have in your home, to create a beautiful and inviting product display.

5. Welcome Guests – It’s vital to welcome guests as they enter. Give each a catalog, order form, door prize drawing slip and pen. Be sure to have your catalogs ready ahead of time. Insert the order form and door prize drawing inside the catalog and hand out with a pen. Tell guests to complete their door prize drawing and drop it in a basket you provide. Note: It is very important to open up the dialogue with your Host and guests. You want all attending to be comfortable and to enjoy the Velata products and home show experience.

6. Start on Time – If your scheduled party time was 7:00pm, start on time. Remember your promise to the Host to be in and out of their home in an hour and a half. You won’t accomplish this by waiting on an endless stream of late arrivers. In addition, it is respectful, of those who arrived on time, to start your presentation in a timely manner.

7. Introduction – Thank the Host and introduce yourself. Share just a brief minute or two about yourself and your Velata experience.

8. Games – Some consultants like to start the presentation off with a fun game. The choice is yours to provide this or exclude it from your presentation.

9. Presentation - Share the Velata story, products and how to use our fondue warmer. Keep in mind that people are always more interested in what is in it for them. Focusing on your “why” and background will be of little interest to guests. Instead, focus on the benefits of the Velata products and how easy it is too use.

10. Show Close – Draw from your Door Prize Slips and announce the winner. It is up to you what you give away. Thank guests for coming and let them know you will be seated at the kitchen table. When they are ready, advise them to bring their orders to you for totaling. Now is the best time to ask each guest, one on one, whether they are interested in hosting a show or would like to learn more about starting their own Velata business.

11. Host Benefits – Briefly go over what the host has earned up to this point. If they are short of their goal, advise them on how much in sales they will need to earn their targeted free amount. If they don’t close their party the night of their show, strive to get them closed within a week, if at all possible. Holding them open longer will cause a long wait for customers.

Follow-Up

Your work isn’t over once the show is closed. It is important that you follow-up with your host. Once they receive their Velata products, schedule a time to go over the products and to answer any questions they might have.

Hot Tip!

Start a Newsletter - If you haven’t started a newsletter, do so right away. Get permission from Host and guests to add them to your newsletter to receive Velata product promotions and announcements. This is one of the easiest and most cost effective tools to building long term relationships and on-going sales.

Important Facts to Share at Home ShowsVelata History…If you want to play the Velata story game, (Attached on page 20, is my version of the Velata story) it will go over everything about how Velata got started, about the product, hostess rewards opportunity and more all in a fun simple game.

Here is my little spill/presentation that I say when I do a party or fair. Feel free to use it or change it however it fits for you and your guest:

I would like to introduce you to a Velata - a chocolate Fondue. Velata is a Brand of the Scentsy Family, and just started May 2012. These Velata Warmers are lit by a 25 watt light bulb which keeps the Chocolate at a perfect temperature to keep the chocolate melted. It is really great because you don’t have to keep stirring or worry about the Chocolate scorching. You just melt the Chocolate in the Microwave for a minute and pour it in and it will keep it at the right temperature on low.

These silicone dishes are dishwasher safe which is a must for me because I hate to wash things by hand. Plus it can go right in the fridge or in microwave. So when you are done and if there is still chocolate left in the bowl just put the lid on and store it in either the fridge or right in the pantry. Then when you are ready for more just pop it on the Velata warmer turn it to high and let the chocolate soften back up. Once the chocolate is softened turn it down to low to keep the perfect melting temperature.

I have done Chocolate fondue parties several times and the original fondue pots are a lot of work, to make sure to keep stirring and adding more liquid so that the chocolate doesn’t scold, and the Chocolate fountain is even more work because you have to keep adding cocoa butter or oil to keep it at the right consistence, and is a huge pain to clean. That is what makes these so great.

My kids love to have Velata as an afterschool treat or we have it for an after dinner snack. We just add whatever fruit we have on hand and dip it in our Velata ChocolVelata is Fun and Easy!

Want to get Velata Product for FREE!! Then book a party with me. You can do a home Party or a catalog/basket party and get Free Products, 1/2 off items and free shipping for you and your guest. (You can also give an extra incentive for bookings.)

Want to Make Some extra Money? Velata is a great business because there is so much you can do with our company. You can do Home parties, Catalog parties, Fairs/Events, Fundraisers, displays, online networking, online orders, team building and much more. The great thing with our company is you can do as little or as much as you want whenever you want, and make as much money as you want too. Enjoy tasting the chocolate and looking through the catalog. Let me know if you have any questions.

Velata Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy is Scentsy Group offering a new brand?

A new brand offers Consultants a completely new party experience, a new opportunity to re-engage existing customers and attract new ones, and a chance to grab the attention of new potential team members. A new brand presents the perfect opportunity to increase your business.

What is Velata?

Velata is a fun, family-friendly way to experience chocolate fondue. Velata warmers include an exclusive, food-safe dish in which you can warm the world’s finest quality Belgian chocolate for an easy, enjoyable fondue experience.

Page 10: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

What does Velata mean? And how do you say it?

Velata, pronounced VEH-LAW-TUH, as in "Gotta Velata" is the Latin word for "veiled" or "covered."

What's the difference between a Scentsy warmer and a Velata warmer?

Unlike Scentsy warmers, Velata’s silicone dish is suitable for warming and serving food, is microwavesafe and dishwasher-safe. Velata warmers use a patent-pending technology that keeps the meltedchocolate at the perfect temperature — warm enough to stay melted, but not so hot that it scorches.

What type of light bulb does a Velata warmer use?

Velata uses a 25-watt light bulb — the same type of light bulb used in a Full-Size Scentsy Warmer.

Where are Velata warmers made?

Velata warmers are designed by Velata and made to our exact specifications by our trusted manufacturing partner in China.

Can I use a Scentsy warmer for Velata chocolate?

No. Scentsy warmer dishes are not made for food use.

Can I use my Velata dish with my Scentsy warmer?

Velata warmers are designed to work with the accompanied silicone dish. The type of ceramic material, the number of vent holes, the position of the light bulb relative to the dish, are all factors that can change the temperature of the chocolate. Use Velata warmers for warming chocolate; Scentsy warmers for warming wax.

Is silicone safe to eat from? Are Velata dishes BPA-free?

The Velata Fondue Warmer dish and lid (lid is available to purchase separately) are food-safe and BPAfree.

What kind of chocolate is used?

Velata uses premium Belgian chocolate — the finest chocolate in the world. We are launching with four flavors: milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, and caramel milk chocolate.

Can I use other brands of chocolate in a Velata warmer?

Our warmers are calibrated to work with the recipes of chocolate we sell. You will not get a better experience using any other chocolate. The Velata warranty will not cover damage caused by non-Velata brand products.

Page 11: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

How do I melt the chocolate?

Velata chocolate comes in a microwave-safe pouch. It is designed to be melted in the microwave and kept warm in the Velata warmer.

Can I melt the chocolate directly in the warmer?

Velata chocolate can be removed from the pouch and melted in the warmer. Please allow 45 minutes for the chocolate to melt.

Are the microwavable pouches food safe and BPA-free?

Yes, the Velata chocolate pouches are food safe and BPA-free.

Can the chocolate become scorched if heated in the warmer for too long?

Velata warmers come with a switch with the following settings: Off, Low, Medium, and High. High should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the Velata Fondue Warmer dish, but once the chocolate is melted, we recommend you keep your Velata warmer on the Low setting. If the melted chocolate is kept on Low, it should not scorch or burn.

What are the ingredients in Velata chocolate?

Milk Chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa liquor, soy lecithin, natural vanilla. White Chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, natural vanilla. Dark Chocolate: cocoa liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural vanilla. Caramel Milk Chocolate: sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, cocoa liquor, caramel powder (skimmed milk powder, milk proteins, sugar, butter), whey powder, lactose, soy lecithin, natural vanilla, caramel.

For a helpful, quick reference guide on all things Velata, download the "1.1 Velata Brand Aid" on the Training Center, under "Velata."

What is the best way to store any leftover chocolate once it has been melted?

If any melted chocolate remains in the dish, first let it cool, then cover it with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Velata chocolate is designed to taste great melted, not look great cold. The cocoa butter in Velata chocolate will "bloom" once melted and cooled, resulting in a cloudy appearance. Taste, quality, and appearance are unaffected when melted.

What is “bloom” and does it affect the taste or quality of chocolate?

Velata chocolate is made to be melted, chilled, and reheated without losing ANY quality. Just let the melted chocolate fondue cool to room temperature, cover it with the Velata lid, and refrigerate. But Consultants and customers should be aware that if they do save Velata chocolate for later, they might notice a chalky white substance or white spots on

Page 12: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

the surface. This is called bloom, and it’s actually a feature of premium chocolate. Since Velata contains no fillers or preservatives, you can sometimes see bloom when the sugars and fats separate from the cocoa solids. When you reheat the Velata chocolate, the sugars and fats reabsorb into the cocoa solids, and it looks and tastes just like the first time you dipped!

Is Velata gluten-free? Dairy-free? Sugar-free?

All Velata chocolate is gluten-free. Although our dark chocolate is free of dairy ingredients, it is produced on shared equipment with dairy ingredients and may contain trace amounts of dairy. No Velata products are sugar-free, but we are exploring sugar-free options.

Does Velata contain peanuts or tree nuts and/or is it processed in a facility that processes products that contain peanuts or tree nuts?

No. Velata does not contain any peanuts or tree nuts and is not produced in a facility that processes products that contain peanuts or tree nuts.

Is the Belgian chocolate used in Velata a Fair Trade product?

The vendor who is producing our chocolate in Belgium is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and the CAOBISCO who are committed to the social and economical well-being of cocoa workers and their communities.

Do you have plans to expand the Velata line to include food products other than chocolate?

We are always exploring new product opportunities.

Where will Velata ship from?

All Velata products will ship from our Distribution Center in Meridian, Idaho. They will be shipped separately from Scentsy Wickless orders.

Why isn’t Velata chocolate shipped with ice packs?

When pouches of delicious Velata chocolate are shipped from our distribution centers to your doorstep, the chocolate can melt in transit and resolidify as several chunks or one large block. Although ice packs are not used in shipment (since they melt quicker than the chocolate), Velata’s specially-designed pouches were developed to ensure the premium Belgian chocolate maintains its high quality and best possible flavor.

Why can’t both brands ship together to save on shipping costs?

Since Velata is a food product, it must ship separately from Scentsy Wickless wax products so there is no potential for fragrance transfer or absorption.

Page 13: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

How much will shipping fees be on Velata products?

Velata shipping fees/tiers are the same as Scentsy Wickless.

Are there any regulations with handling food and/or samples at fairs, shows, or home parties?

Regulations for food handling vary from county to county. In regard to providing food samples at fairs and shows, it is the responsibility of Velata Consultants to learn their local jurisdiction's regulations and work with the fair/show's management company to understand the specific requirements.

FAQ - Entering a Party Online

Follow these steps when entering a Party Order. Use the Order Tab at the top of your personal Velata website screen.

1) Choose which type of order you are entering, Home party, Basket party, Fair/show, individual order. Enter the Hostess Information. Check Yes on “Show on PWS” if you want this party order to show up on your Personal Web Site, for customer to order directly to the party order. Check Yes “Use Evites” if you want to send emailable invitations.

2) Enter the Shipping Information. (Note: You can click on the hostess and consultants for already saved address) Then click on the “Continue”.

3) Now you can “add a Guest” (in a box on the top of the screen.) This is also where you choose if they want the item shipped directly to them or if you want to add them to your

Page 14: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

newsletter. Once you have added a guest they will show up in your guest list. Here you will see a window under therir name to enter the item number they wish to order, then click “add to cart”. If it is a multi pack you will select the multi pack item code then it will take you to a screen to fill in which items you want in your multi pack.

4) Once you are done entering all the guest orders, Click on the hostess free credit product and the hostess ½ off items. You will also have a booking coupon on the top left hand of the screen. choose the guest that this will apply to, and enter the item number. This is a half off item for the Prior hostess’ ½ off booking reward. If you don’t have a prior hostess you can use the ½ off item for yourself. There is a $5 hostess fee, but it is waived if you use all half off items. Once you are done enter the orders and hostess rewards, click on “Continue”.

5) Now you can add the guest, hostess and/or your credit card payments. Once you have finished the credit card payments and balance is down to 0. You can Click on “Process Payments and continue” and they will verify that the order is correct, type yes if it is and your order will be submitted to the home office. (Note: Once the order is submitted you will not be able to change it.)

Congratulations on getting your order in! You can now watch the order number in your order history to see when it has been moved to shipped and be able to track the packages. If you have any other questions contact your upline consultant.

Shipping for Non-Qualifying Parties (Less than $150)Here are some suggestions should you have a non-qualifying party and haven’t collected shipping. Free shipping starts with a qualifying show of $150.00.

1) Just enter these orders as an individual order or you can add these orders to another party. 10% of the party orders give as credit to your host. This would raise the one party’s free percentage and should work out close to the percentage earned. The 1st host will miss out on the half price item, but since their party wasn’t a qualifying show, the 10% will serve as a thank you for their efforts.

2) Add items for personal inventory to make the party qualify. Let's say only $100 of product is ordered. Purchasing (2) warmers, $40 each, will bring your party to a qualifying show. Even if you give the host the half price or credit, keeping one or the other for yourself will give you a decent extra discount, plus give the host something for their efforts.

Page 15: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

Inventory at home parties, available for immediate sale, is always a good idea. If you can afford it, try to have on hand 2 or 3 warmers, especially during gift giving seasons.

3) Attach the orders to a party of your sponsor, upline, downline, or other near-by other consultant. Again, if this happens often, there are other issues to be addressed.

Hopefully, non-qualifying shows will happen rarely in your business or organization. If it does, supporting consultants by helping them consolidate orders would be a natural expectation of a sponsor, leader, or director in their organization.

4) Attach outside orders. Perhaps you have personal customers who are ready to order. Consider adding those to your host’s party to bring it to a qualifying show. Single orders, under $150.00, are normally charged 10% shipping. Add them to the show as a direct ship. This is an easy way of helping your host reach their goals and having a qualifying show.

Ideas to Get Your Business GrowingLaunch PartyBusiness launch parties can create a lot of interest and help you get people excited about Velata products.  One suggestion is to offer a prize for people who decide to have their own Velata home party or basket party. Keep it simple & affordable. Many Consultants are able to get 4 or 5 parties scheduled from their Launch Party.  Basket PartiesMany potential Host work and can take your samples/testers in to work with them every 3 months.

The Velata Story GameAdapted by Julia Baldwin, SuperStar Director

Directions - Each time you hear the word Velata, pass the prize to the person on your right. Whoever is holding the prize at the end of the story, wins!

The idea for Velata was born out of a joke during the Scentsy 2009 Convention. Two stagehands, providing entertainment between presenters, tried to use a Scentsy candle warmer as a fondue pot. This set an idea in motion and the result is Velata. Velata comes from the Latin word meaning “veiled” or “covered” as in “covered with chocolate!”

With Scentsy’s simple idea of a warmer and light bulb, we can now serve premium Velata chocolate in a specially designed Velata warmer. We have 4 flavors of Velata chocolate, made from the best chocolatiers in Belgium: Velata Dark Chocolate, Velata White Chocolate, Velata Milk Chocolate and Velata Caramel Milk Chocolate. Velata chocolate is gluten-free and Velata chocolate does not contain any peanuts or tree nuts. (It is also not produced in a facility that processes products that contain peanuts or tree nuts.) Our Velata dark chocolate is dairy free (although it is processed on the same line as products that contain dairy). You can choose from 3 different styles of Velata warmers in 8 fun Velata colors! There is sure to be one that will look perfect in your kitchen. Let’s not forget what a great gift Velata will make. Our simple design and delicious chocolate makes it easy to have fondue anytime.

Velata chocolate is easy to use! Simply put the Velata package in the microwave until melted (about 45 seconds). Pour the desired amount into your Velata warmer and enjoy!

Page 23: siterepository.s3.amazonaws.comsiterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/...home_and_book_pa…  · Web viewHigh should be used for preheating the warmer or melting chocolate directly in the

You can also melt the Velata chocolate right in your warmer but it takes about 45 minutes. To melt the chocolate in the warmer, turn your Velata warmer on high, wait a few minutes and stir. As it melts, you can adjust the temperature on your Velata warmer to medium or low. Velata warmers are super easy to clean up. If by some small chance, you have chocolate left over, you can purchase a Velata lid, pop it on the bowl, and store the Velata in your refrigerator, but my guess is there won’t be any leftover! If you reheat your Velata chocolate, it might have a white appearance to it upon reheating. This is totally normal and is a feature of premium chocolate that contains no fillers. Just heat and eat!

Hosting a Velata party is a fun way to get your friends together and a great way to earn Velata product for free and half price. You can also choose to combine your Scentsy and Velata parties together, while earning free Scentsy or Velata, (as separate parties), at one time!

Gotta Velata addiction? Join the fun and join the Scentsy Family. You can choose to sell Velata or Scentsy, or both! A unique business opportunity awaits—one team, multiple companies, and one paycheck.

Now, have fun shopping the Velata catalog and enjoy the premium Velata chocolate! Let your taste buds take you on a chocolaty Velata trip but please remember, don’t double dip!

Ideas for Themed PartiesOrganizing themed parties can make your home show even more fun and encourage more guests to attend. Here are a couple of suggestions for creating shows that follow a theme/season and create interests.

Mardi GrasHave your Host give out inexpensive bead necklaces and masks. Everyone starts with one necklace and mask. Select two or three words that guests cannot say during the show. If someone uses one of the words and another person catches them, they get their necklace. The person with the most necklaces at the end of the show, wins a prize!

Bridal ShowersVelata is a great gift for new Brides. Create a Bridal Registry for Brides to share with their family, friends and guests.
