With kiddos out of school for the Summer, booking In Home Parties can tend to be a little bit challenging. The best thing that you can do is embrace the obstacle by offering fun, kid-friendly theme parties to your Hostesses!
One of the great things about the direct sales industry is that often times we can work with our kiddos right along with us, so why not bring everyone together and showcase your products at the same time with these summer home party ideas?

Pool Party
Summertime is made for swimming! Take to the water and host a pool party with everyone and find ways to incorporate your products into the summer fun activities.
You can feature your Summer Product Line all while enjoying some summer sun!
You may want to consider having pool games where the winning team gets free samples of your products right then!
Carnival Theme
Gather your fellow friends who are also direct sales representatives for different companies, and come up with a mini carnival theme.
Each “sponsor” would have their own table to showcase their products.
You’ll need to create activities for the kids to enjoy and have fun doing.
Some suggestions would include
Granted the primary focus will be on ensuring the kids and families have a good time, but I assure you that the moms won’t miss the chance to be scoping out your products.
You could even host a Mystery Hostess Party during this event.
Photo Shoot Party
Consider hosting a photo shoot with your products and your guests. The idea behind this concept is to make it a fun event for families to get together and capture photos they can take with them.
This also allows your potential customers to get a sense of how they would use your products with their families.
Be 100% honest with your friends and tell them you’d like to get photos of them using the products you sell and that they can get to keep pictures.
Many people also love the chance to be “famous” too.
Old Fashioned Tea Party
Big kids and little kids love the chance to dress up for an Old Fashioned Tea Party!
Host an afternoon tea party (after nap time, of course) to show off your products in the cool comfort of your living room.
Have age appropriate games, flavored teas, and finger foods.
Give prizes for who wears the funniest or biggest hat to the party.
Nap Time Online Party
If you can not get everyone together in person, schedule a “Nap Time Online Party” for Moms!
You can easily host an online party via your favorite social media channels while all of the littles are sleeping soundly. You can choose to have
You can handle this in a few different ways. You can get a hostess to be in charge of rounding up all the attendees and get the hostess benefits.
You can offer up some prizes and promote the event yourself and offer up some extra incentives for anyone who decides to schedule a party for themselves during the event.
These are some ideas that may create lasting memories with potential bookings throughout the summer months and beyond.
Show your Hostesses and Guests how awesome it is to truly have a “family business” and invite them to join your team as well!
What are some out of the box summer home party ideas that you can come up with?
In the summer you can never go wrong with a pool party! Everyone loves the pool! Great ideas.
I think a photo shoot party would be a lot of fun! Work it. Own it. Now give me your “one more cookie” face. Love it!
Pool parties are always a big, big hit around here. There’s nothing more fun that the pool, cool drinks, and nom noms!
I love the ideas that include kiddos in the mix! That’s always been my issue when I’ve been invited to home parties – I always have to make sure I have a sitter. I hope these ideas start to change that!
I love the photo shoot calendar idea – that is just too much fun! All of these ideas are fabulous for summer though and I can’t wait to plan a party!
These ideas are adorable! My kids are older now so they do their own planning! In fact, my son and his friends just took a mini road trip much to my chagrin….they better be home soon lol or else! The nap time online party sounds good to me…now if only they’ll nap!
My kids would love the pool party! It’s been a long time since I’ve been to an in-home party and they are always a ton of fun.
All great ideas but Nap time online party is just genius!

TEA PARTIES! I totally remember building a little fort either outside, or in the living room with my friends (and even my parents) and having little tea parties, so many awesome memories.
