Where can I host a party?
The choice is yours. You may opt for a party at your home, at your work place or perhaps at your local day care centre, ladies gym, hair salon etc.
What Day / Time should I conduct a party?
Once again the choice is yours & it really depends on the optimum day & time that is suitable to you & your guests. A Gekho party can be conducted on a weekday or weekend, during the day or evening. Sunday & Saturday afternoons & Friday evenings have proven to be the most popular.
What Time would I conduct an office party?
The optimum time for an office party is during lunchtime or after work hours. If available, the office boardroom is usually a suitable location to set up a party.
Who Do I Invite?
If you select an office party then your employer may limit you to invite work colleagues only.
If you prefer a home party then you could invite friends, family, work colleagues and neighbours. Your guests should also be welcome to bring along a friend or two. For instance a guest could bring along their daughter / mother / sister / flat mate etc.
Be sure to utilise your “data base” of contacts from your mobile phone, email address book & also face book.

How Many Guests do I invite?
There is no limit to the number of guests that you can invite or the final attendance numbers. It is always best to over invite to allow for those people who are unable to attend. Of course, the greater the attendance, the more free host rewards that you will receive.
You also have the opportunity via our on-line product gallery & printed catalogue to collect orders from guests who are unable to attend.
How Do I Invite Guests?
Two types of invitations are available for you to distribute to guests. Hard copy printed invitations or an email invitation. You can opt to use just one type or you can choose both.
Should you book a party on line then simply indicate which invitation type/s you would prefer. The email invitation will be automatically sent to you upon confirmation of your party booking. The hard copy printed invitation will be posted to you (allow 2-3 days for delivery).
If you book a party whilst attending a party then the Gekho Consultant will issue hard copy invitations to you immediately & the email invitation will follow (allow 48 hrs for receipt of email invitation).
An email invitation is usually all that you may require should you host a workplace party.
It is always a good idea a few days before your party date to give your invitees a courtesy follow up call / email / text message to remind them about your upcoming party and if they cannot attend would they like to place an order and / or book their own Gekho party.
What is the duration of a Party?
A party duration varies depending on your guests & how long they wish to stay. Our Consultant can certainly accommodate a time duration which suits you. As a general rule allow 2-3 hours which includes an informal 15 minute presentation explaining our products and current offers, followed by plenty of time for you and your guests to experiment and enjoy our large product range.
An office party, if conducted during a lunch period, may only take the time of the lunch hour (ie 1-2 hours).
What are some occasional themes for a Party?
The following occasions are a great idea to host a Gekho Party…
- Bridal Shower
- Birthday Party
- Farewell Party
- Hen’s Party
- Xmas Shopping Party (an opportunity to start the Xmas shopping early)
- Social / Sporting Group Party (conduct a party at your local sports club or your child’s day care centre)
- Fundraiser Party – Conduct a party to raise funds for your local school, sporting club etc (see below for more information)
- Conduct a joint party with your friend / work colleague
- Or simply … a great social get-together with your friends & family
How does a Fundraiser Party work?
Your free host rewards could be raffled to generate funds for your charity / organisation.
Gekho has been involved in many fund raising events in the past so please contact us and we would be happy discuss ideas that can be personalised to your next fundraising function.
What happens if a guest cannot attend & they wish to place an order?
Your guest can place an order if they are unable to attend a party by visiting our on line product gallery on this website. Their order is then automatically emailed to our office and then on-forwarded to the respective Consultant conducting your party. Your guest may also print their completed order form from our website & forward this to you.
Another option is for your guest to view our hard copy printed catalogue (a copy of which can be requested from your Consultant) & complete the accompanying hard copy order form.
Any orders or party bookings generated by guests who are unable to attend your party will be included in your overall party total which will then increase the value of your free host rewards.
How do guests discover what products are sold by Gekho?
Your guests can visit the gekho website & view the on-line pictorial catalogue. Our product range is also featured in our printed catalogue – copies of which can be requested from your Consultant.
What time does the Gekho Consultant arrive to set up?
The Gekho Consultant will arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to your party commencement.
What do I need to provide for the Party?
The Gekho consultant will only require a table or two to display our jewellery products. However if this is not available then they can certainly compromise with what you have available or alternatively supply their own table.
Do I need to provide refreshments?
It is up to you whether to provide food & beverages for your guests though it is best to keep refreshments simple to allow you more time & less stress prior to your party.
What payment options are available at a Party?
At a party guests can pay via Cash, Master Card or Visa or they can defer payment & pay the host prior to delivery. Orders placed outside a party (ie before or immediately after your party) may also pay via Cash, Master Card or Visa.
