Friendsgiving sign up list

Friendsgiving works best when everyone brings something, and when you know what that something is. Make a list, send one link to the group chat, and your friends tap what they are bringing.

Tips for a smoother get together

Host the main, ask for the rest

Most Friendsgiving hosts cook the turkey and ask friends to cover sides, desserts and drinks. Put your own dish on the list so people can see what is already handled.

Let friends pick their specialty

People love bringing the dish they are known for. Leave room on the list for guests to add their own, so the grandma recipe and the famous dip both show up.

Cover drinks and supplies

Wine gets claimed fast. Add non-alcoholic drinks, ice, plates and napkins too, so those do not fall on one person at the last minute.

Share the same link again as a reminder

A few days before, send the link again. It shows what is still missing, which is easier than texting people one by one.

Common questions

How do I organize a Friendsgiving potluck?

Make a sign up list with the dishes you need, share the link with your friends, and let them claim items. Check the list a few days before to see what is still missing.

Do my friends need to download an app?

No. The list is just a link that opens on any phone, with no account needed.

How many dishes should I ask for?

A good rule is to ask for about one dish per two or three guests, then adjust. You can change how many of each item you need at any time.

Can I use this for a regular Thanksgiving too?

Yes. There is a Thanksgiving version of the list with the classic dishes built in.

Is it free?

Yes, free for you and your friends.
