You know those parties that you see online where you just think “wow, they really have this hosting thing figured out”? Well, we’ve whipped up a little cheat sheet for low-effort, high-impact details to add to your events to create that certain je ne sais quoi. Adding even just one of these to your party plan makes it seriously chic, so take a look at our team’s picks for hosting trends that are heating up this summer.
A little feta… a little watermelon… you’re basically in Greece.
We’re thinking beyond the charcuterie board this summer. Try a sweet spin with a cake spread or a spicy one with a margarita board.
Tiktok taught us this and we’re never turning back. Sorry, not sorry to the wine connoisseurs out there who will hate to see this coming.
Fill your glasses with champagne and stack ’em high… or with crudite for an artsy hors d'oeuvre. Perfect for weddings and bachelorette parties.
Before there was butter yellow… there was just ~butter~. Shaping your butter is incredibly chic. So is sprinkling it with flaky salt. 🤌
Taking “a cherry on top” extremely literally this summer.
The more niche, the better!
Just add water (and a flower, fruit, or veggie).
These citrus centerpieces are so simple yet so stunning.
Guarantee you’ll love this drink… and that your friends will be super impressed with your cocktail knowledge.
Planning a party menu around a specific fruit is a seriously chic host move in our book.
Oh, and hand-written menus, too. Anything that makes a party feel personal and intentional.
Take the childlike fun of a summertime popsicle… and the boozy buzz of a glass of champagne. You really can have the best of both worlds.
We’re romanticizing the little moments, okay??
This small detail makes any room more magical.
This makes any party instantly moodier.
Because everyone loves to leave with a party favor (especially one they got to pick out themselves).
Transform your tablescape with an unexpected name tag — whether it’s guest names engraved in their chopsticks or a ribbon with their name tied to the stem of a pear.
This reminds us of all of our favorite neighborhood restaurants… and who wouldn’t want that energy at their party?

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.
