Tastefully Simple does mixes, dips, sauces, soups and such. Really, really good stuff. I've been to a ton of these parties. Basically, whoever is having the party and the presenter makes a bunch of the foods/dips and they get passed around for sampling. At the party, much of the stuff is served on/with their (really yummy) beer bread or crackers. After the presentation, the foods are then put in the kitchen (or whereever) and they become your munchies for the rest of the party.
As for what I would do for points... yeesh. That's a toughie because I'll be honest with ya, that food is very hard to resist. As for me, I think I'd try to stay as low in points as I can the day of/prior to the party and allow myself to use flex points, if necessary, without feeling guilty. Basically- plan ahead. It also depends on how much will power/restraint you have. I don't have much. You'll be having a lot of 1-2 bite sized samples during the party so each won't really be too many points. Just remember those little bites can add up more quickly than we like!
