Free Online Sign Up Sheet
Slots with limits, one link, and reminders, with no account for guests
An online sign up sheet is a link where people claim a slot (a time, a dish, a job) and everyone can see what is already taken. Each slot has a limit, so it closes when it is full, and reminders go out before the event. You can make one free in about five minutes and share it by text, email, or a group chat.

How do I make an online sign up sheet?
- 1
Name the event
Add the title, date, and location. A one-line description tells people what the slots are for.
- 2
Add slots with limits
One row per time, dish, or job, with how many people it needs. "Setup, 9–10 a.m., 3 people."
- 3
Ask one question if you need it
Allergies, T-shirt size, or a phone number. Every extra question costs a few sign-ups.
- 4
Share the link
Text it, email it, post it in the group chat, or paste it into a newsletter.
- 5
Turn on reminders
An email the day or two before is what gets people to show up.
Only 38% of the 519 SignupKit sheets that got at least one sign-up between April 2026 to September 2026 had email reminders switched on, which is the setting that recovers the late sign-ups and the no-shows.
