Potluck signup FAQ
How do I set up a free potluck sign-up sheet online?
Create a free SignUpSpark account, add a slot for each category with a cap on each, and share the link. On Pro, you can describe the potluck instead ("Easter potluck for 25 people, need 5 mains, 8 sides, 5 desserts, 3 drinks") and Create With AI builds the categories for you. The signup page has zero ads on every plan.
Can attendees see what others are bringing?
Yes. Each category on the signup page shows which slots are filled and the names of who has signed up, so families can avoid duplicates and balance the spread without messaging the organizer.
Do guests need to create an account to sign up for a potluck?
No. Guests sign up in seconds with their name and email. No password, no app, no account. Only the organizer needs a free SignUpSpark account.
How is this different from Google Forms or SignUpGenius for a potluck?
Google Forms can't cap categories (no "max 5 desserts"). SignUpGenius can, but ads may show on its free-plan signups. SignUpSpark caps each category and has no ads on any plan. Neither SignUpSpark nor SignUpGenius makes guests create an account.
Can I add categories like mains, sides, desserts, and drinks?
Yes. Add each category as a slot with its own capacity, and add, remove, or rename them before publishing. On Pro, Create With AI can draft the category list from your description.
