Lunar New Year dinner sign-up sheet for a table that feels abundant

Free. No ads, no account, one link to share.
A reunion dinner is built from many dishes
Lunar New Year dinner is usually many dishes shared by many people, and families have their own traditions for which ones matter. The template gives a starting point: dumplings, noodles, fish, spring rolls, rice and a few cooked dishes, then a second list for sweets and fruit. Rename any line to fit your family, whether you celebrate Tet, Seollal, Chinese New Year or another new year.
The kids need things too: red envelopes, games and crafts. Put those on the sheet as helper lines so older cousins can claim them in the open. Share the link a week or two before the date, since many people travel, and use the copy-as-message button to post what is left so aunts and uncles can fill the gaps.

Quick answers

Can older relatives sign up without an account?
Yes. They open the link, type a name and tap to claim a line. You can also add them yourself from your private manage link.
Do guests need to make an account?
No. They open the link, type their name and claim a spot. An email address is optional and only used if they want a reminder.
