Give contributions clear names
Use tasks for outcomes such as bringing a salad for six, supplying cups, or collecting serving utensils. Ask people in Chat what they can reasonably contribute. Do not assume an unclaimed task is covered or that listing a dish automatically assigns it to someone.
Check the balance of contributions before the day. Three desserts and no main food may be fine for a dessert party, but not for dinner. Include drinks, water, serving tools, and storage needs in the conversation; these are easy to overlook when attention stays on recipes.
Connect food to attendance
Ask for RSVPs to the final plan and use the current count when confirming quantities. Clarify whether children or additional guests are included. If someone?s attendance changes, ask whether their contribution also needs another volunteer.
Share the exact entrance and any access instructions. Create a cleanup task and agree who can stay to help. When a contribution is ready, mark the relevant task complete and add any useful collection or serving details in Chat. Keep the event?s practical decisions in one current place.
