A starting point for your table
The potluck checklist.
Use this list when you set up your event. Decide what you'll cover as host, then ask each guest to add what they're bringing.
Main dishes
Decide what the host is making, then ask guests to fill the gaps.
Sides & salads
Mix warm and cold dishes. Agree on portions once you know the headcount.
Dessert
Add something sweet and note whether it needs fridge or freezer space.
Drinks & ice
Include water, other drinks, and a cooler if you need one.
Plates & serving tools
Remember cups, napkins, serving spoons, and a utensil for each dish.
Cleanup & leftovers
Sort out bags, containers, and a few people to help at the end.
Before you send the invite
Include an arrival time and a serving time, let people know where to park, and explain how to add their dish. Ask about dietary needs before the menu is set. A day before the meal, check the guest list and fill any gaps in food, drinks, or serving tools.
Your table. Your guest list.
Choose a private event for friends, family, or coworkers, and invite the people you want there. Planning a community meal? Make it public so people browsing EventPrism can find it.
A few things before dinner.
Is the potluck planner free?
Yes. A free EventPrism account includes event hosting, invitations, RSVPs, shared supplies, and comments. You do not need Pro to organize your potluck or coordinate what people bring.
How do we keep track of who brings what?
Add dishes, drinks, and supplies to the event with the person bringing each item. Guests who join can add their own contributions, and you can group the list by person to see how the table is coming together.
Do guests need an account or an app?
Guests need a free account to join the event, add supplies, or comment. They can do all of that in a web browser; downloading the app is optional. Public event summaries can be viewed without signing in.
Can I keep my potluck private?
Yes. Choose Private when you create the event and invite your guests. Private event details are available to invited members after they sign in; sharing the link alone does not make those details public.
Can I plan a Friendsgiving, office lunch, or neighborhood dinner?
Yes. Use the potluck event type for a shared meal of any kind. Add your serving time, dietary notes, and available kitchen equipment, then use the description for anything specific to your group.
