let’s plan a potluck!

Create a group meal

It takes about five minutes. You’ll get a link to share, and nobody needs an account. Questions? Visit our help center or email help@perfectpotluck.com.

1 About you, the coordinator

Only you need a password. You’ll use it to edit the sheet, send emails and change settings.

2 About the event

Guests can use this with your last name to look up the sign up sheet. We picked one, but feel free to change it.

3 Where is it?

We’ll add a Google Maps link for directions.

4 What should people bring?

Rename or add categories, and drag the handle to put them in order. # Needed is how many people can sign up for each. For example, if you need 2 people to bring 100 napkins each, enter 2 and add the note “Please bring 100 napkins.”

Not sure how much food you need? Try the potluck calculator. How many people are coming?

0 spots in all

Inviting mostly families? Ask everyone to sign up for 2–3 items.

5 Notes & links for your guests (optional)

Planning meals for one person or family over several days (a new baby, surgery, a loss)? TakeThemAMeal.com is built for that.
