Taste of Thailand Party
It's as Simple as 1-2-3!

1. Before

  • Choose a party site (church or home) and date.
  • Send invitations downloadable here.
  • Create a WorldCrafts interest center combining products, as well as pictures and stories of the artisans. Consider ordering the Fall 12 Hostess Sample Set [H124118] ($99.99). Or create your own collection of products to sell at the event.
  • Take some time to read about Thailand. Learn about the culture and issues such as human trafficking. Go on a virtual prayer walk or watch other short, informative videos. Share these links with several guests before the party and ask them to share about them during the party.
