Why it suits a family
- A dinner sheet has a count on each dish, so the table comes together without four bowls of mashed potatoes.
- A reunion or party RSVP counts guests, so one person can answer for a whole household.
- Sitting, visiting and moving schedules keep addresses and keys off the page: you email them only to the people who signed up.
- Nobody has to download anything or make an account, which is what gets grandparents and teenagers to answer.
Questions people ask
- Can relatives who aren't good with technology answer?
- Yes. It's one page that works on any phone, with no account and no app. If someone would rather not, they can tell you and you can sign them up from the same link.
- Can I reuse a dinner sheet next year?
- Yes. “Make a copy” on your private link starts a new sheet with the same rows and nobody on it.
- How do I share an address privately?
- Leave it off the page, and use “Tell people something” on your private link once people have signed up. It goes by email to everyone who left an address.
