Organize a Potluck: Invites, RSVPs, and a Shared Dish List
A potluck has one failure mode: five people bring chips and nobody brings a main. lesgooo.fun fixes that with an invite and a shared dish list on the same link. Guests open it, pick a name, tap Going, and claim what they're bringing, with no account and no app.
Not sure which day works? Poll a couple with When2meet first, then send the invite. The Checklist is the who-brings-what list, so mains, sides, drinks, and dessert are all covered, and the Splitwise tab handles any shared cost.
Tips
- Use the checklist as the dish list — guests claim a category so nothing doubles up.
- Seed the categories — mains, sides, drinks, dessert, so the gaps are obvious.
- Note dietary needs — veg, gluten-free, alongside each RSVP.
- Keep serveware in mind — assign cups, plates, and utensils too.
- Split any shared cost — a group main or drinks run settles in the Splitwise tab.
How it works
- Set the date, or poll a couple of options.
- Share the invite link with the dish list.
- Guests RSVP and claim what they're bringing.
Plan this in less than a minute
Share one link and let everyone pick what works.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to sign up?
No. They open the link, pick a name, and tap Going. No account, no app.
How do I stop everyone bringing the same thing?
The shared checklist lets each guest claim a dish or category, so you don't end up with five bags of chips.
Can guests see what's already claimed?
Yes. The dish list is shared and updates live, so everyone sees the gaps.
Can we split a shared cost?
Yes. A group main or the drinks run settles in the Splitwise tab.
