A sign-up sheet is great once. Every event gets old.
A new link for every event, separate from your roster, your calendar and your money. Here's what it looks like when the jobs live on the event itself.

What it's good at
- Quick to make for a single event
- People can usually sign up from a link
- Slots are what they do best
Where it gets hard
- A new sheet and a new link for every event
- They show who signed up, but not which of your families didn't
- It's one more place to check, apart from your roster and your money
- Next year you start again
Side by side
| What a group needs | A sign-up sheet site | Grouperly |
|---|---|---|
| Signing up for a job | A slot on a sheet | Jobs and shifts on the event itself, picked when families RSVP |
| Seeing who hasn't helped | You compare it with your own list | Who's short, from your roster, and a nudge for just those families |
| Signing up without an account | Often yes | Yes for one event, from a link |
| Next year | Make it again | Plan next year copies the event forward |
| Waitlists | Often available | Grouperly doesn't have them |
How to move
- 1Bring in your roster from a spreadsheet, or type it in. Nobody gets an email until you say so.
- 2Post your next event and add its jobs and shifts.
- 3Send one announcement. Everyone on your roster gets it by email, with their own link to join.
What to keep
- A sign-up sheet for a one-off with people outside your group, if that's easier
When you should stay with what you have
- You only need the occasional sign-up, for people who aren't a regular group.
Try it alongside what you have.
It's free, it takes an evening, and your families won't have to install a thing.
