private parties and workshops

We have developed four different party options for you so you can turn sex toy shopping and sex education into an event to be remembered!

PleasureWare Parties
PleasureWare Parties are a wonderful opportunity for you to get your friends together, have a good time & shop for sexy toys from the comfort of your own home! The parties are fun and educational making for make for a fabulous bachelorette, birthday or anyday party!

How it Works
A trained Sex Educator from Early to Bed will come out to your home (in the Chicago area) bringing with her some of our most popular vibrators, lubricants, body treats and more. She will explain how everything works & answer any questions you may have about the toys or sexuality in general, as well as give everyone the chance to handle the toys, compare lubes & taste yummy body treats. You will then have the chance to order on the spot! Items will be shipped (free of charge) & arrive in 1-2 weeks.

PleasureWare parties work best with between 8 and 20 people. While most of these parties are fro women only, mixed gender groups are fine. Parties can be tailored to specific interests.

What it Costs
To schedule a PleasureWare Party we require a $40 deposit. This deposit is refunded if $400 or more in sales is made at the party. The hostess of the party gets 10% off her entire order. If more than $800 in merchandise is sold at the party, the hostess also receives a $25 Gift Certificate to Early to Bed. If the party is more than 20 miles from our shop we require an additional $25 transportation fee that is non-refundable.

AfterHours Parties

The party can last up to two hours. We’ll give a brief demo at the beginning and then we’ll roam the shop answering your guest’s questions and showing them how all the goodies work. You can bring snacks & beverages to make the event as festive as you want!

AfterHours parties work best with between 8 and 50 people. Mixed gender groups are welcome.

Private Workshops
If you really want to get a great in-depth education on a subject we can bring one of our popular workshops to you! Choose from a variety of subjects (pleasuring men, strap-on sex, masturbation…) and gather your friends for a class that is super-fun and informative!

How it works
Choose from our most popular workshop titles (available upon request) and contact us with the date you had in mind so we can make sure we have a Sex Educator available for that time. Then we come out to your home (or other space) and present a full-length workshop (approx. 60-90 minutes). Private workshops can also be held at our store after regular business hours.

Private Workshops work best with between 6 and 20 people. Mixed gender groups are welcome for some of the workshops.

The cost of a Private Workshop is $175 for up to ten participants. Each person over ten is an additional $15 charge. If the party is more than 20 miles from our shop we require an additional $25 transportation fee.
