Christmas party potluck sign-up list
Christmas party at the office, at your club or with the whole family: a potluck buffet that everyone contributes to is little work and suits the season. To get more than just cookies on the table, agree beforehand who brings what.
What to plan first
Sort out the basics early: how many people are coming, is there a kitchen or only a power socket, and are you doing a Secret Santa? Calendars fill up quickly in December, so send the list out two to three weeks ahead. Savoury dishes that are easy to prepare and carry, such as sausage rolls or potato salad, work well.
A litre of mulled wine fills about five mugs, and a tin of cookies is enough for a small group. Put soft drinks, mugs and a few decorations on the list too – those are the things that tend to be missing on the night.
How BringABottle helps
Use the example list or start with an empty one, adjust the items and send the link to your WhatsApp group or by email. Your guests enter their name and tick what they will bring – no sign-up and no app. You can see at any time what is still missing and change the list later.
