Have you ever heard of House Party?

I know most of the world knows about Swagbucks, BzzAgent and a few other sites like that, but have you ever heard about House Party?  I hadn't until about a month ago when one of my iVillage Mom's said that she belonged and that there was a party that I might enjoy. She sent me the referral and I immediately signed up and applied for the Freeze and Shake Cocktail party. I didn't hold out much hope that I would actually be picked.

You probably are wondering what is House Party?

What is a House Party™?



House Party™ lets people who really love something host a special event featuring a fun, free, exclusive experience sponsored by the world's leading brands.


Cool people sharing cool stuff. A House Party™ is thousands of parties happening across the country on a single day, hosted by people just like you. Each event is sponsored by a leading brand and focuses on something cool–like a new product, hit TV show, or great cause–that the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends.

You host. Everyone wins. House Party lets you share the stuff you like with the people you like, through a fantastic, free party experience. What's the catch? There is none: Our partners understand that if they share something good with the right people in a fun way, we'll all help spread the word.

Well to my surprise, yesterday I received and email from them saying that I had been picked to hostess a Freeze & Shake Cocktail party.  I followed the directions on their site and set up my party.  I am inviting 10 or 11 neighborhood moms and will combine this with a game night.  They also send a party pack and I can't wait to see what is in it.

What's inside the party packs?



Each event has a unique Party Pack filled with all kinds of free stuff to make your party a success. We've thrown all kinds of events: TV Viewing, Wine & Chocolate Pairing, Kid-centric, you name it.

For this House Party, they will send coupons to purchase the Freeze and Shake products.  Luckily I looked up where I could find them and they are sold at Sweetbay in Venice.  Since this party contains alcohol, I was reading that if my guests are not registered on the House Party site then they will have to fill out a waiver and I can just email them back.

I am really excited for my first House Party.  If you would like to sign up please leave a comment with your email address and I will send you a referral.
