This party was a HUGE success. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to host this! We had great guests, food, music & needless to say......DRINKS! My poor DH was at the machine for a good two hours making drinks (but he loved it!) We went through a ton of mixes & tequila/rum. Everyone had such a good time & absolutely LOVED the quality of the machine. It is industrial-strength & can easily handle a BIG bash! Margaritaville.....YOU ROCK!!!! This will be the 1st of many parties here at my Tiki Hut! :)

I could not believe the stuff we got.. I felt like I won the lottery! We had so much fun, and we did the coconut bowling... what a riot! I handed out all of the $50 coupons and everyone was really interested in getting their own concoction maker. What a weekend! It couldnt have been better! My friends were quite jealous of my machine and I encouraged them to get their own. We are getting the cooler next! I especially loved that cd ~ party music is always a must! Some of the party was held indoors, but most of the craziness happened by the pool. Thank God we had Monday off... I needed a day to recover!

Oh we also gave out all the $50 off brochures that I included in the party bags I made, they were a big hit. I also have the Margaritaville cooler, and a few friends want to get that too! We are planning on spending Labor day weekend in Margaritaville with a big bash we're planning. Some family from out of state already said they are not missing this one! Thank you again Margaritaville, your generosity was overwhelming, and I of course sold a lot of people on your wonderful machine!!

After my party, my Margaritaville Frozen Concoction maker has been invited to more parties than I have!! We had a blast, everyone loved making a frozen concoction. The weather turned out to be sunny, warm, and beautiful. It was the perfect day and evening spent with family, friends, and neighbors, enjoying good food, music, dancing, karioke, and the BEST FROZEN CONCOCTIONS!! I added a lot of pictures, and I'm still not finished but take a look!

We had a great party, thanks to Margaritaville and House Party! We could not use the pool because it was raining, so we moved the party in doors. Everyone still had a great time. We love machine so much that we are going to buy one for my father in law as a father's day gift. We are looking forward to using the machine through out the summer and also for our future parties! Thank you for giving us the best House party package ever!

Here, the weather was lousy all weekend long so we weren't able to have our pool party however some of us gathered for a poker game and margaritas - had a great time. Hopefully when the weather is better, we'll try again for a pool party. Thanks Margaritaville for a fun poker game - everyone enjoyed their drinks! Cheers to y'all!

My party was great, but I just got a reply from HP about the shipment that was broken and missing the dvd, second cd and metal sign and they said nothing would be replaced and I would not get the rest of the shipment. Shame on you house party. I was so looking forward to the DVD and sign. They would have made great prizes for my guests. Oh well.

The party was a success! Everyone enjoyed the food and especially the margaritas. We experimented with different fruit and mixes...yummy! I had made chicken kabobs on the grill! Lots of food, drink and laughter! I had a drawing for the t-shirt and everyone got a coupon for the mixer. One of my guests was so impressed with the mixer that she is going to ask her boss to get one for the bar that she works at. I will be using the mixer for all of my parties this summer and I have quite a few planned! Thank you Margaritaville and House Party! You know how to throw a party! :)

Our party was yesterday and it was AWESOME. Everyone loved the machine. I'm really hoping that some will be buying because I am so thankful to Margaritaville Cargo and Houseparty for the chance to host such a great party.

Whew! The last car just pulled away from the drive way. I hope to have pictures up tomorrow. We had a great time. Jimmy Buffett played on the CD player all day long, and the margaritas, strawberry margaritas, and pina coladas were flowing all day as well. My precious Bassett Hound, Dudley, and mutt, Stella, sported flower leis--they were the host and hostess of the party! MANY HUGE THANKS to the folks at houseparty and Margaritaville for an outstanding party. I know my guests were really amazed by the simplicity and effectiveness of the frozen concoction machine. They all walked away with their discount coupons in hand! The guys were the most impressed (my husband is a mechanical engineer), and I can see many of them "needing" one of their very own!

Great drinks, great friends, and great food - what more do you need for a party? Friday's bash got moved to Saturday as people started to flesh out weekend plans. We set up around 1pm and the party kept going until almost midnight. Our Margaritaville Cargo frozen concoction maker got a real workout.
I was both photographer and bartender so the first batch of people that passed through aren't on my camera but I still have hopes for some more emailed pics. I think what most impressed people was the degree of automation of the machine. Ultimately as dinner rolled around, I gave up my bartender post ande let people just have at it!
We basically cheated. We used frozen mixers and fruit concentrates, added tequila or 51, a splash of water and a reservoir of ice. We had a mommy-to-be and a few people who needed to drive home, so we made refreshing non-alcolic drinks as well.
the travelling case is really an essential accessory. It made pakcing the machine and taking it with us so easy!
Several people commented that having the machine made it a real party. I understood this sentiment. Just looking at the machine sitting out makes you think "party"
We went swimming, boating and sunning and came back for more soothing drinks. A few neighbors stopped over to say hello (orat least that was the cover story) Most people caught on o the Jimmy Buffett connection. Of course the cd playing next to the blender could have been a bit of a hint.
Everyone who left, left with a full belly, a lei and a brochure. Mike, our resident card shark, took away the Margaritaville T shirt as the prize in our late night poker tournament. The rest of us decided to make a weekend of it.
Frozen mimosas, anyone?
