Bring a dish

Online potluck sign-up, sorted before the party.

Build an online potluck sign-up sheet for dishes, drinks and supplies, with a quantity for each item. Guests claim what they'll bring during RSVP, and you and your co-hosts can see who's covering each need. This is the bring list for guests' contributions; use the menu for the food you're serving.

A warm, mixed group of friends arriving at a party with dishes held high — a pie, a big salad bowl, a bag of ice
  • Guests claim as they RSVP
  • Atomic coverage, no double-claim
  • Dietary labels & day-of status

How it works

A list that fills itself in.

Set out what the party needs — pick a category, name the item, say how many — and your bring list is ready. Turn it on and every guest gets an optional moment on the RSVP to grab something, so the whole spread comes together while you plan.

  • Six ready categories — mains to supplies, or add your own
  • Set how many you need of each, one to ninety-nine
  • Guests claim in a single tap as they RSVP
  • Optional deadlines, dietary labels and day-of status

From a blank table to a full one

Three steps to a covered table.

  1. You list what's needed

    Category, item, how many. Add the green salad, the bag of ice, the folding chairs — the stepper handles anything you need several of.

  2. Guests claim as they RSVP

    Everyone sees the list grouped by category and taps "I'll bring this." Something that needs a few? They pick how many and can leave a note like "gluten-free."

  3. The list keeps itself honest

    Each item shows what's covered and who's got it. A fully-claimed dish reads as taken, so it can never be grabbed twice.

Everyone loves bringing a piece of the party. Nobody loves bringing the third bowl of potato salad.

One list, always current

Always in hand

Nothing doubled, nothing forgotten.

Watch the list fill in as guests claim — each item marked covered or "3 of 4, one to go," with the name beside it (only you see the names; guests just see what's still open). Need to even things out? Adjust a quantity, reassign a dish, or sign up the friend who told you in person — every change you make is quietly marked, so you can tell your edits from guests' own sign-ups.

  • See covered versus still-needed at a glance
  • Reassign or top up any item yourself
  • Add a bringer who told you in person

The details

Built for real gatherings.

Potluck or backyard BBQ, baby shower or class party — anywhere guests pitch in.

Categories that make sense

Mains, appetizers, sides, desserts, drinks, supplies — six to start, and add your own for décor, games, whatever your day needs.

Claimed right in the RSVP

No separate link, no sign-up. Guests grab an item as they reply yes — or from your live invitation page any time after.

Yours to fine-tune

Adjust quantities, reassign a dish, remove a claim, or drop in a bringer yourself. The list bends to how the day actually shapes up.

Common questions

Good to know.

Do my guests need an account to bring something?

No. The bring list is part of the RSVP — guests tap "I'll bring this" as they reply, with nothing to install and no sign-up. They can also claim from your live invitation page later, and change or drop what they picked.

Can two guests bring the same thing?

Only up to the number you asked for. If you need one green salad, the first claim covers it and it shows as taken. Want several? Set the quantity higher and the item stays open until it's filled.

How is this different from the menu?

The menu is where guests choose which dish you're serving them. What to bring is where guests sign up to bring something themselves — the right tool for a potluck or a bring-your-own gathering. You can run either, or both.

Will it cost extra?

No. What to bring is included on every plan. Invitation sending is priced by guest count.

Can my co-host manage the bring list?

Yes. Co-hosts can build and tend the list right alongside you — adjusting quantities, reassigning items and adding bringers. Only you, the owner, control the money and the event itself; co-hosts can view the plan and receipts, just not buy upgrades or change them.

Can I get a printed copy for the day?

Yes — one tap gives you a PDF of the whole bring list, grouped by category, to check the night before or hand to whoever's helping set up.
