The natural beauty of the Montana landscape is breathtaking – it’s almost hard to believe it’s real, it looks more like a painting. Maximize the views by having your ceremony take place with a perfectly framed mountain backdrop, and dance the night away under the stars with rustic wood tables and wildflower centerpieces.

Portugal is arguably one of the most underrated European countries to visit. The old-world architecture and extraordinary tilework essentially set the scene for you (whether you choose a city, country or coastal setting). With such intricate details surrounding you, you can keep your own décor simple and the result will still be hugely impactful.

Evite: Tropic of the Day
Tulum makes for an ideal destination wedding – guests can enjoy the beaches by day, and you can reap the benefits of the lush jungle setting for your wedding venue. Lean into all the greenery (people pay for all those palm fronds elsewhere!), perhaps eliminating florals altogether. A simple disco ball hanging from a palm tree may be all you need to set the stage for the reception.

Evite: Birds & Blooms
The Amalfi Coast is on everyone’s travel wish list for a reason. With stunning natural beauty and effortless Italian charm, all you’ll need to decorate the tablescape are some locally grown lemons and candlelight. The venues’ local ceramics will add a punch at no extra cost. Bring guests in by gozzo boat for an experience they’ll always remember.

The Utah desert is otherworldly and makes for a gorgeous–and unexpected–backdrop for a wedding. Lean into the minimalist palette and you can pull off a no-frills event that packs a major punch. The red rocks and starry sky don’t require much to enhance the striking natural beauty.

Developed hand-in-hand with community organizers, PTA presidents, parents and teachers, Evite's signup sheets are designed to make organizing volunteers a breeze. Here are a few ways SignUp Sheets are different than other signup tools:
Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
