Potluck sheet
New Year's Eve party sign-up sheet that covers the midnight toast
Appetizers, a dessert table, something sparkling for midnight and a plan for cleanup. One link makes sure the countdown is not the only thing that arrives on time.
Free. No ads, no account, one link to share.
The two things every party forgets: the toast and the cleanup
Most guests will bring appetizers, so the template leans on finger food and sweets, and then covers the parts that usually fall through: sparkling wine and a non-alcoholic option for the toast, plenty of ice, cups for everyone and noisemakers. Ask for lucky foods too, such as black-eyed peas, noodles or grapes, if that is part of your tradition.
A party that ends at 1 am needs a plan for the next morning. The sheet has shifts for setting up, running the playlist and cleaning up, so the host is not alone with the dishes. Share the link a week or two ahead, since December calendars fill early, and post what is still unclaimed with the copy-as-message button a few days before.

Quick answers
Can I keep the party alcohol free?
Yes. Rename or delete the wine line and keep the sparkling cider and juice. Every line on the template is editable.
Guests will come and go. Will the list still work?
Yes. Each line has a number wanted, so a late guest can still claim something that is open, and a full line shows as full.
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.
