Lisa Renee Jones has kindly offered to help her readers host book parties. Basically this is a Tupperware or jewelry party but, with books! Here’s a breakdown of the information:

Who: You (the Host) + at least 9 attendees. We will only allow parties with a minimum of 10 people.

What: The Book Parties are actual, physical, parties that you host at the venue of your choice. If you have followed the steps below to get your party started then Lisa will send you a box of goodies, including:

  • A paperback copy of If I Were You (Inside Out #1) for each partygoer
  • LRJ/Inside Out Swag
  • Door Prizes
  • Hostess Gift
  • Other miscellaneous items which we will try to tailor to your event/theme **there are NO guarantees – you will get goodies – you just won’t always know what they are until they arrive.

When: The party date will be at your discretion. However, please allow at least 2 weeks’ time (from the close of your RSVP’S) so we can get the party box together and shipped.

Where: The venue of your choice. Your home, local bookstore, library. Anywhere that is legal, and for which you have permission to use J

Why: Because this will be SO much fun! Invite your friends for a night of terrific reading, games, and much more fun. Recruit some new Lisa Renee Jones fans and show them what they’ve been missing!

OTHER:  The books and items provided contain adult themes, when you agree to host a party, you agree you will not give books or products to anyone under the age of 18 years old.

  3. While waiting for your Welcome email or to get your party process rolling please consider the following steps:
    • Join the Party with LRJ Facebook Page– this will help connect you to other hosts so you can brainstorm ideas. It is also helpful for the admins to have the hosts in a group so they can have a back-up way to contact you or post new information.
    • Grab a banner/button- you will find graphics here that you may use for your invites or promotion.
    • Start your online guest list. Yes, these are real parties. However, it will be simple and easy for future reference to use a Facebook Event page, or EVite.com to form and keep track of your guest list. Also, at some point you will need to hand over this list to the admins so they can confirm your information. Instructions on the EVite.com process can be found here . NOTE: If you are using either EVite please allow the guest list/event to be public. Facebook events also should be public so we can verify RSVP’s, however, you can join the facebook group and see alternatives.
