Holiday Party Sign Up Sheet
Food, Secret Santa, decorating, and cleanup on one link
A holiday party sign up sheet lists everything guests can take on: a dish, the cocoa station, decorating, a Secret Santa spot, or cleanup, with a limit on each so you do not get twelve cookie trays. Share one link in Slack, email, or the church bulletin, and guests claim a slot from their phone without an account.
