Where do people put a dedication?

In the note when they sign up. Only you and anybody helping you run the page see it, on your private link and in the spreadsheet you can download.

Can two people share a Sunday?

Yes. Change how many each row takes to 2 before you make it.

What if somebody needs a different Sunday?

They change it from the link in their confirmation email, or on the same phone they signed up on, if the Sunday they want is free.

How to set it up

Check the SundaysIt starts with twelve Sundays from next Sunday, one giver each. Take off any Sunday the church decorates itself, like a major feast day.
Add the detailsPut the usual cost, the florist you use if there is one, and when to drop them off in the description.
Send the linkPut it in the bulletin with the QR code, or in the weekly email. Nobody needs an account.
Print the dedicationsYour private link lists each Sunday and its note, ready to copy into the bulletin.

What helps

Popular dates, like an anniversary or a memorial, go first. Share the link early in the season.
“One sign-up each” is on, so the Sundays spread around. Turn it off if you have more Sundays than givers.
Notes are only shown to you, so a dedication stays private until it's in the bulletin.
A Sunday has no time on it, so there's no calendar file. A mention in the bulletin the week before is the reminder.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.
