Help Mom-to-Be get ready for her new little bundle of joy with Let’s Dish!  Host her baby shower at your local store and she dishes a FREE 4-meal session!

Anyone who’s had a baby (or knows someone who has!), can vouch that not having to worry about dinner for those first few months is priceless. Between the 3am feedings, diaper changes and extra loads of laundry, we’re convinced that a healthy, homemade dinner of, say, Sesame Apricot Chicken, will help new mommy keep her sanity…especially if she has other little ones to feed!

Sound perfect for your friend, sister, co-worker or cousin sporting a bump? Great! Here’s how to plan a baby shower with us:

• Contact your local store to set up a date. Please keep in mind that we may need as much as 4 weeks’ notice.  Our customer service manager will be happy to find a time and date that suits your needs. 
• Invite your guests. You can spread the word and even collect RSVPs using our handy invite tool at letsdish.com (our team can show you how).  In order to keep the party private, 12 people need to register for the session within 10 days of creating the party. 
• Come early and decorate. Hang storks, balloons, onsies…the skys the limit! We’ll supply scones and drinks, but feel free to bring in other snacks and refreshments.
• Dish. Mom-to-Be dishes a FREE 4-meal session! We suggest that everyone gives the guest-of-honor one of their meals, too.
• Everyone goes home with a bunch of great meals and a party favor of Decadent Molten-Chocolate cakes.  Now, that’s a celebration!

Please note: If you do not get 12 registrations, no problem! We’ll simply open the session up to the public so we have the opportunity to fill the remaining spots. Mom-to-Be won’t get a free session, but you’ll still be able to celebrate and head home with party favors and meals!

Planning a baby shower is sometimes stressful. Believe me…I know! I just survived planning my cousin’s perfect shower. That’s her with her hubby and my godchild-to-be Braden (4 weeks ‘til he’s due!), picking out their meals. At Let’s Dish!, we’ve always taken the hassle out of dinner. Now, we take the hassle out of baby shower planning, and help Mom-to-Be get ready, all in one tasty celebration!

PS: Don’t forget that we offer FREE delivery for new moms for the first 90 days after the baby’s birth!  Check out the offer here.

As with any private party, Let’s Dish! reserves the right to refuse a certain date or time, but we will always work with you to find one that fits in both schedules.  Sunday parties may be limited to 11am-1pm.  Please note that you must have 12 registered sessions in order to keep your party private, and for mom to receive a free 4-meal session.

• Let’s Dish! costs less than dining out. What was the check last time you brought the family to Applebee’s? $50? $60? $80? A Let’s Dish! dinner serves 4-6, and costs as little as $21 (that’s for salmon, tenderloin, etc).

• Let’s Dish! costs about as much as making it from scratch. We take care of the planning, the shopping, the chopping. And we do most of the clean-up. Do you think you could shop the grocery store and make flank steak or mahi mahi for the same $3.50 per serving they cost at Let’s Dish!? We couldn’t!

• Let’s Dish! value is getting better and better. While grocery prices rise, and our competitors cut back, Let’s Dish! keeps adding more value. We’ve added sides to almost every meal. We’ve launched DishRewards, which has already doled out over $100,000 in Dishing discounts. And starting in November, we’ll offer half-sized meals for smaller families (with smaller budgets)… more variety and more deliciousness, with sessions starting at only $54.

We’re all feeling the crunch these days. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise at mealtime. With Let’s Dish!, healthy, convenient family dinners can fit just about any budget. Sign up and start saving today!
