Details
Host a relaxed Friendsgiving: one spreadsheet for who's coming, who brings which dish, what's still missing, and who owes whom for the shared costs.
WHAT YOU GET
• Friends list for up to 30 friends with RSVP (Yes, Maybe, No), plus-ones, dietary needs and an automatic headcount
• Potluck sign-up sheet with 120 rows for mains, sides, appetizers, desserts, drinks, ice, plates and cups, and games
• Still Needed view showing what's covered and what's missing in each category, with the first dishes already coming and who's bringing them
• Suggested amounts per category worked out from your headcount, which you can override
• Dietary check for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free guests
• Shared cost splitter: split equally, per head with plus-ones counted, or between a custom list, with each friend's fair share and a settle-up instruction
• Timeline for the prep days and the evening, timed from when friends arrive
• Games and activities list, dishes to give back, borrowed items and leftovers going home
• Dashboard with days to go, friends coming, headcount, categories covered, still needed, shared costs and balances settled
HOW IT WORKS
1. Type the date, arrival time and host on Settings, and add your friends with their RSVPs.
2. Fill in the Potluck tab as people sign up and share the Still Needed tab with the group.
3. Log shared costs and open Balances to see who owes whom.
