Pick a Friendsgiving date everyone can actually make

Whenever your group can make it. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, so most groups pick the weekend before (November 21 or 22), since so many people travel. The weekend after is the other common choice.

No. Only the host needs a free account. Guests vote on the date, reply, answer the dietary question and claim a dish from the link with just their name.

Put a few dates to a vote. Choose Let guests pick when you make the event, offer two to six dates and share the link. The date you pick goes on the invite, and the votes become RSVPs.

Choose Potluck when you start the event and the bring list is on the invite. List the dishes you need. Each one is claimed once, dessert can take several people, and you hear about every claim.

Only the hosts. Once the date is set, guests answer "Any dietary needs or allergies?" on the invite, link guests included, and nobody else at the table sees what they wrote.

Yes. Pick Dinner Party when you start the event. Each guest gets a private card with their table, seat and meal when you send the seats out, and the bring list stays on for wine and sides.
