I just got a knock on the door and it was the UPS guy w/ a package for my Juicy Juice House Party.
If you've never checked out houseparty.com I highly recommend it. This is the second party I've been choosen for. The first was for Fisher Price and they sent us a ton of Fisher Price toys. This time it's juicy juice. We got juice, cups, plastic water bottles, reusable grocery bags, playing cards and coloring books. My mommy group loves that I keep having these parties and getting free stuff!

Purf I think the key is to give them the answers they want to hear. If they ask if you blog or chat online or use evite or any of that, say yes! (of course, I do all those things anyway.) The Fisher Price party was awsome. After the party I let my girls pick out one of the toys to keep and we donated the rest of them to a womens shelter so everyone got something out of it.
You don't have to buy anything. Companies are just looking to get their products out there. They have childrens parties but also things like popcorn, bras, cleaning products, etc. It's just fun to fill out the form and wait to see if you get choosen!
They want you to have the party so that everyone can try the products at the same time. Usually they pick a date but you don't have to do it then. I host playgroup at our house once a month so we'll just be sampling new juice at this months playdate. Houseparty loves it if you post pics of your gatherings afterward.
