# Potluck

> Organise potluck contributions with a simple sign-up sheet for your guests.

The Potluck feature gives your guests a clear sign-up sheet so everyone knows what to bring — and you always know what's covered.

## Creating a potluck

Go to the **Potluck** tab of your event and set up your categories. For each category you can define:

| Field                | Details                                                     |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Category name**    | e.g. Main Dishes, Salads, Desserts, Drinks, Sides, Snacks   |
| **Number of slots**  | How many contributions you need in this category            |
| **Portion guidance** | Optional — e.g. "serves 6" so guests know how much to bring |

You can have as many categories as you need.

## Publishing the potluck

The sign-up sheet is hidden from guests until you publish it. Once published, guests see the categories and available slots on their invitation page and can claim a slot and enter what they plan to bring.

You can re-publish after edits — changes appear for guests straight away.

## Tracking contributions

From the **Potluck** tab, you can see:

* Which slots are filled and which are still open
* Each guest's name and what they've signed up to bring
* A count of how many slots remain across all categories

You can send a reminder to guests who haven't signed up yet.

## Editing after publishing

You can adjust categories and slot counts after the potluck is published. Guests who have already signed up are not affected unless you specifically remove a slot that's already been claimed.

<Tip>
  Ask Antsy to set up your potluck: "Create a potluck with mains, sides, and desserts — 3 of each — and publish it." Antsy builds and publishes the sign-up in seconds.
