Tips for your Christmas party
Share it earlier than feels necessary
Weekends in December book up, so send your date and sheet right after Thanksgiving.
Lean on make-ahead dishes
Dips, cookies and slow-cooker dishes travel well and let guests prepare in advance.
Think about warm food
Oven and outlet space runs out at parties. Ask people to bring dishes in a slow cooker, or ones that are good at room temperature.
Run a gift swap separately
If you are adding a gift exchange, keep the spending limit and rules in the event details so the food list stays simple.
Common questions
What should I ask guests to bring to a Christmas party?
Appetizers, cookies, drinks and paper goods are the easiest requests, while the host handles the main dish or the space.
Does this work for an office Christmas party?
Yes. Coworkers can sign up from a shared link, with no login and no reply-all thread.
Can I add a cookie plate or secret gift list?
You can rename or add any item, including a cookie plate. For gift names, use a dedicated gift exchange tool.
