Potluck food sign-up sheet
A food-focused sign-up sheet helps guests choose useful dishes instead of repeating what someone else already claimed. Create one shared sheet, let guests claim what to bring, and keep the meal balanced.

Host tips
- ✓ Add a few starter categories so guests are not staring at a blank sheet.
- ✓ Make drinks and supplies visible beside food categories.
- ✓ Check the sheet for missing mains before sending the final reminder.
Build the food list around a balanced meal
Separate appetizers, mains, sides, desserts, drinks, and supplies before anyone signs up. This gives guests a useful choice and helps the host see whether the meal is missing something substantial.
Ask for exact dishes and servings
“Side dish” does not tell the host enough. Ask guests to name the item, estimate servings, and add notes for allergens, reheating, or serving utensils.
