Tips for Setting up Your Potluck:

  • Place plates, cutlery and napkins at the beginning of your line so people won’t forget them.
  • If possible, allow for the lines of eaters to flow down both sides of the serving table (speeding up the line)
  • Don’t forget to print out meal tags that specify what is in each dish—very important for anyone with dietary restrictions or food allergies.
  • Place drinks and desserts on a separate table which leaves space at the main entree table, and allows guests to set their plates down before picking up these items.
  • Plan a brief presentation or activity during the meal wrap up that will engage the guests over coffee and dessert. This is a great opportunity to give out informal awards, or acknowledge extraordinary contributions. Don’t forget to acknowledge your potluck organizers and participants!
  • Double check your potluck SignUp sheet. Did you include the following items?
    •   Appetizer
    •   Main dish (with meat)
    •   Main dish (vegetarian)
    •   Green salad
    •   Fruit Salad
    •   Pasta Salad
    •   Vegetable side dish
    •   Breads and rolls
    •   Dessert
    •   Plates, cups and napkins
    •   Utensils and serving pieces
    •   Table cloths
    •   Table decorations
    •   Pitchers for water
    •   Soda or juice beverages
    •   Adult beverages (beer and wine)
    •   Extra folding tables and chairs
    •   Ice

Now that you're all set up, enjoy as your organizational efforts pay off and the perfect potluck meal happens before your eyes!
