Everything about Posh Parties, start to finish.

Where you create one

You set up parties right from your own account. Two pages do the work:

You are set as the party's Advocate automatically because you are logged in. There is no box to pick yourself, and the credit is yours.

The setup form, field by field

About the host

Every party has a host. Pick one of three ways to set that up:

• I am the Host. You are hosting your own party.
• Mystery Host. You do not have a host yet. You will pick one of your guests later with the Make Host button.
• A named host. Enter the Host First Name, Host Last Name, and Host Email. You fill these in unless you chose one of the two options above.

Allow Ship to Host

This box starts out checked. When it is on, guests can send their order to the host for pickup for $4.99, and everything ships together at the end. When it is on, you also fill in the host's address: Street Address, Apt / Suite (optional), City, State, and ZIP Code.

What you can change later, and what you can't

When you submit, you go straight to that party's dashboard, ready to invite guests.

Open the party from your dashboard and tap Edit. You can change the Name, the Description, and the Ends date and time. The Starts date shows on the form but you cannot change it.

Pushing the end date out

Change the Ends field and save. That is all there is to extending a party. If your party has guests shipping to the host, you will see a quick confirm:

Tap Yes, update the end date to push it out.

Here is the one thing to remember: the end date is your plan, not an automatic shut-off.

The end date does not close the party on its own

When your end date passes, nothing closes by itself. Your party keeps taking guest orders until you or your host taps End My Party. The date is there to set expectations and to give your invites a deadline. The party stays open until someone ends it on purpose.

• After the end date passes, your party list may label the party Ended. That is just a label. The party is still open.
• Guests can still order during that time.
• To actually stop orders and start rewards, end the party yourself. See Ending and redeeming.

Pick a date you will actually act on

Since closing is a step you take, treat your end date as a real promise to your host and guests. Pick the day you will sit down, end the party, and walk your host through their rewards.

What moves a party from one stage to the next

Open to Host redemption

This happens when you or the host taps End My Party. You will see a confirm first:

At that moment, party sales lock, the host's rewards freeze at whatever tier they reached, and the host gets an email plus an Open Host Shop button:

Host redemption to Closed

This happens when the host checks out of their Host Shop (even if the total is $0), closes without ordering, or you finalize it for them. Now the party is closed for good.

What your host sees at each stage

Joining

Guests get an invite email. The subject reads "You're invited to {your party name}!" and it has a personal link inside. Tapping that link brings them right into the party shop, with no code to type. If a guest lands on the party page without a link, they enter their name and email, a link gets sent to them, and that link brings them in.

RSVP and ordering

As guests move along, their status updates on your guest list: Invited, then Yes when they join, then Ordered when they buy. They shop the party catalog, pick how to ship at checkout, and once they pay, they show as Ordered.

Party sales and your reward tier

There is one sales number that drives host rewards:

Rewards are earned on party sales, and they lock in the moment you end the party. Here is the full chart:

Under $100 in party sales, there is no reward tier yet. Keep the party going to cross $100.

What each perk is

• Perks Points. Store credit the host spends in their Host Shop. $1 of Perks is $1 off.
• Half-price items. That many items at 50% off in the Host Shop.
• Free shipping. The host's own order ships free. Without it, the host's shipping is $4.99.
• Friend passes. Passes worth $25 plus an extra half-price item, which the host can send to friends.

How your host redeems

1. You end the party. Rewards are figured out and frozen.
2. The host opens their Host Shop from their dashboard.
3. Step 1: "Here's what your party earned." They see their Party sales total and tap Continue to Shop Your Rewards.
4. The Host Shop. They spend Perks Points, pick half-price items, add bundles, and build their cart.
5. Checkout. If anything is owed after Perks, they pay it. If Perks cover the whole thing, it is $0. Either way, they confirm.
6. Done: "Thank you! Your party is complete. Guest and host items ship together in one package."

A host who does not want to add anything can just tap Close without ordering. That still closes the party cleanly.

Host bundles

Inside the Host Shop, your host can build category bundles:

The three categories are Hand Crème, Chunk, and Face Mask. The host picks their own scents, and the lowest-priced of each three comes free. They can do one bundle in each category, once per party.

When Ship to Host is on, guests can send their order to the host instead of to their own address. It all ships together in one box when the party closes.

What the guest picks at checkout

How the shared shipment works

1. Guest "ship to host" orders are held until the party closes, so nothing ships out one at a time.
2. The host ends the party and shops their own rewards. The host's order also goes to the host's address.
3. At close, all of it is grouped into one shipment to the host, and tracking is shared across those orders.

That is the line your host sees: "before we ship the consolidated order."

Closing a party happens in two steps, with a redemption window in between. That is on purpose. It locks the host's earnings in place before they shop.

Step 1: End the party

You or the host taps End My Party. Party sales lock, rewards are figured out and frozen, and the host gets an email:

Nothing ships yet, and nothing is final at this point.

Step 2: Host redeems, party closes

The host shops their rewards and checks out. That final checkout (or a close without an order) is what truly closes the party and releases the shipment. The emails that can go out here:

Sending your host a gift optional

Before you close, you can send your host a gift from $5 to $50, straight from your own Perks wallet. At close, it moves from your wallet to theirs, with the note: "Your gift to your host has been sent from your Perks wallet." It is a nice way to thank a great host.
