Potluck sign-up sheet
Choose a ready-made menu, copy or print the list, and give guests useful categories to claim. Supplies such as ice, napkins, and serving utensils are included because they are the things groups forget.

Start structured, then let your family adapt it.

Want live claims instead of a static sheet?
Create a party and the same starter lists become claimable tasks with headcount, gaps, dietary notes, and kitchen warnings.
What belongs on a potluck sign-up sheet?
Use categories for mains, sides, desserts, drinks, and supplies. Add more than one claim spot where variety helps, but avoid prescribing portions: show the confirmed headcount and let each cook decide what their dish can reasonably serve.
Ask guests to flag dishes that need an oven, refrigerator space, or an electrical outlet. That catches conflicts before three casseroles arrive expecting the same oven shelf.
