Friendsgiving Menu Template

What you get

For the friend who offered to host and now has twelve people bringing food. The potluck sign-up keeps the table balanced, with a chart of how many appetizers, sides and desserts to ask for by guest count, so you do not end up with five bowls of mac and cheese and no salad.

On the day, type or write each dish on a fold-over food tent and tick the boxes for nuts, dairy, gluten, vegetarian and vegan, so guests with allergies can choose without asking about every dish. Tall place menus, a framed buffet board and a drinks card make the table look planned, and the tips page covers buffet food safety and how to set the line so it keeps moving.
