Anybody think "Parties in a Box" is a viable business opportunity?

My sister and I are considering starting our own business, something to the effect of "Parties in a Box." It would be geared towards today's busy families who simply don't have time to shop twenty different places to find the things necessary to throw a child's birthday party. We're thinking about selecting certain themes, say for instance a pirate theme, and for x dollars, you're box would include a set number of invitations, plates, cups, etc., game ideas, party favors. We've also considered adding an additional fee for us to mail out your invitations, address thank-you cards, prepare party favor bags in advance, etc. So, our question is this - do you think this is a worthwile idea given that times are becoming tighter economically (our line of thinking is that perhaps the Libby Lu parties, and other expensive location parties will start to dwindle and home parties will be on the rise again...)?

Home Parties are on the rise again - which is why I really looked into which company I wanted to be a consultant for. Starting your own business is great, but it is costly (accounting fees, incorporation, possible liability insurance, business insurance for inventory, shrink control, etc...) and time consuming. I would recommend working as an independant consultant for a successful company and then save your money for your own business. Finding and maintaining working Capitol is the #1 issue most new business owners face.
The company I chose is Arbonne International, they are rated the #1 home based business to get into by Citi Corp because it's only $36 to start and you don't have to invest anything after that. You work your own hours and set your own goals. The products are consumable - meaning customers will re-order. They are also all natural, botanical and safe - AND they WORK! There's a 45 day money back guarantee, ensuring happy customers and happy consultants! I have tried all the products now and I love them! I enjoy a 35% discount as a consultant - fantastic!
Check it out, call a consultant or manager in your area and experience a party, try the products - talk and then decide if Arbonne is right for you! It was the right choice for me, I am going to be a District Manager after August and I am on track for earning my Company paid for Mercedes!
Good Luck in your endeavors!

ou guys should also create a customizable box where they can include things that fit them specifically. The idea of mailing out the invitations is a great idea too because it can be very time consuming. Some things to include in case you havent thouht of them is: plastic tablecloths, party hats, noise makers, Plates, banners or decoration you can hang, and most importantly balloons!

Good, Great idea !

Go, Ahead !!

Changing trends, and paucity of time.
You will make good money.

Good Luck.
