Three lines a course

Press Print the sign up sheet and post it where guests pass. Each course has three lines, so anyone can see which courses still need a dish. When the lines under Dessert are full, the next guest picks another course.

A potluck sign up sheet template for other meals

The Sheet menu has a small potluck of 10 lines, a large one of 30, a breakfast potluck (Egg dish, Bread or pastry, Fruit, Juice and coffee) and a cookout. One sheet leaves the Course column empty for your own courses.

  • Serves is the guest's own count of how many the dish feeds.
  • The sideways sheet adds a blank column headed Notes on ingredients.

Questions and answers

How do I get the potluck sign up sheet PDF?

Press the print button and choose Save as PDF as the printer. The file holds the sheet on screen, on Letter or A4, so you can email it or print it again later.

What categories go on a potluck sign up sheet?

The opening sheet has six: Main dish, Side dish, Salad, Dessert, Drinks, and Plates and cups. The breakfast and cookout sheets print courses of their own.

How is a potluck sheet different from a food sign up sheet?

On a potluck sheet each guest chooses a dish under a course. On the food sign up sheet the organizer writes the exact items first and people sign beside one.

Can guests sign up online?

No. This is a paper sheet that guests fill in by hand. The page stores nothing and sends nothing, so there is no link to share.
