WHAT YOU GET • Dashboard with days to go, RSVPs, dishes covered against what you need, gifts to open, the time gift opening will finish, kitchen clashes and a plan from the night-before prep to brunch • Gift opening order: list who's opening in turn order and every gift goes round one at a time, with a round, a turn number and a rough time for each. Mark big gifts Save for last • Gift list for up to 120 gifts with who it's for, who it's from, where it's hidden, wrapped, opened and thank-you sent • Wake-up to brunch timeline: tie each step to the night before, wake-up, gifts start, gifts end, guests arriving or brunch, and the clock times fill in • A running order of the whole morning sorted by time, ready to print • Guest list for up to 60 people with RSVP, adult or kid, here for the whole morning or brunch only, diet and allergies • Who-brings-what sign-up for egg dishes, sweet bakes, waffles and French toast, fruit, coffee, mimosas and the hot cocoa bar, showing what's covered, unconfirmed or still missing • Christmas countdown checklist with 25 dated tasks and a shopping list by store HOW IT WORKS 1.
