I’ve only ever been to two. I was at one last night and she had fruit and fruit dip (marshmallow cream and yogurt), Reisen chocolates and lemonade. This was in addition to the pork Jamaican jerk salad the rep made.

Oh have fun with your show. I am a consultant and love it when hosts do more then rely on just me to provide all the food.
Chips and salsa is a good idea, finger sandwiches (just take a regular sandwich and cut it into 4), cupcakes, brownies, raw veggies with dip, and at my last show the host made a great little salad (it was just chicken, penne pasta mixed with some greens but not sure what she used).
Honestly I think from the many I have had and done finger foods are the easiest to deal with. For you and the guests
Good luck and have fun!
U could try pary crossiants with chicken salad and maybe bibb lettuce on it. we have had this numerous times and it is delicious. also get party crossiants and buy ham and cheese and make sandwiches out of that. also i have a recipe for ham roll ups. get 2 lbs of cooked ham sliced thin, and 1 lg carton of softened cream cheese and 1 jar of small dill pickels. spread the cream cheese on the ham slice and line up 2 pickels end to end and cut them into bite size pieces. they are really good and so easy to make. u can get the best chicken salad at sams club and they also have the party crossinants..
You can serve bite size crackers topped with creamy herb mashed potatoes and sprinkle some cheese on top of it. Bake it. Serve it warm with non-alcoholic fruit punch or sweet iced tea.
I served it once for a casual tea party with my friends and they loved it.
These were tested at a ward picnic some time ago with great results.

Remember that having other “finger foods”/”snacks” at a Pampered Chef party isn’t necessary, but I’m sure the guests will appreciate it. The key for you is to keep it simple and cheap! I like the idea someone else had of checking with your rep and finding something to complement what she’s fixing!
Relax! It’s your party…you shouldn’t have to work too hard before it.
I would find out what the consultant is making and then do something that would compliment that item.
theres a cookie type thing with a hershey kiss in the middle of it (yummy). Ask your consultant what she recommends.
stuffed peppers…..they are real good. if you dont know how to make them all you do is…. cut a pepper in half then put some cream cheese on the pepper and last but not least put a slice of bacon on the top…..cook in the oven till they look dun…. hope you like it…
here are my favs…..hamburger, cheese and salsa dip with nacho chips, little smokies, and colby jack cheese and butter crackers. Its very yum and very filling.
Chips and salsa are usually a hit.
How about taco dip? Spread cream cheese over a plate, then pour salsa on top. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and eat with salsa.
Pizza dip is similar. Cream cheese with pizza sauce, then sprinkle mozz cheese on top. Heat in oven only long enough to melt cheese on top. Serve with Ritz or Tollhouse crackers (not saltines).
