Diwali Celebration Signup Sheets

Create a free Diwali signup for guest RSVPs, traditional food contributions (sweets, snacks, main dishes), diya/rangoli decoration volunteers, cultural performance coordination, and event setup/cleanup teams. Include attendance count, meal preferences, and volunteer role preferences.

Traditional Diwali foods include: mithai/sweets (ladoo, barfi, jalebi, gulab jamun), savory snacks (samosas, pakoras, chivda, chakli), main dishes (puri, sabzi, dal, biryani), and beverages (chai, lassi, sherbet). Organize by food category and specify quantities needed.

Create volunteer signup slots for: venue decoration (rangoli, diyas, lights), cultural performance coordination, guest registration, food service, children's activities, photography, and cleanup crew. Specify times and responsibilities for each role.

Plan 4-6 weeks in advance. Create signups for RSVPs, food contributions, volunteer roles, and cultural performances. Include traditional elements like diya lighting ceremony, rangoli competition, dance/music performances, and community dinner. Send reminders 1 week before the event.

For 100 guests, plan for: 3-4 decoration volunteers, 2-3 registration desk helpers, 5-6 food service volunteers, 2-3 children's activity coordinators, 1-2 photographers, and 4-5 cleanup crew members. Adjust based on your event size and activities.

Collect: guest names, number of adults and children attending, food preferences (vegetarian/vegan/non-veg), dietary restrictions, interest in cultural performances, and whether bringing traditional attire. This helps with accurate planning and seating.

Create a signup for rangoli competition participants with team names, number of members per team, and space requirements. Specify time limits (typically 30-60 minutes), whether materials are provided or participants bring their own, and judging criteria.

Popular Diwali performances include: classical dance (Bharatanatyam, Kathak), Bollywood dance, devotional songs/bhajans, instrumental music (sitar, tabla), children's performances, and dramatic reenactments of Ramayana. Create signups for performers with act details and duration.

Many attendees follow vegetarian diets. Create clear food categories: Vegetarian (most dishes), Vegan (no dairy/ghee), Jain (no onion/garlic), Gluten-free, and Nut-free options. Request contributors list all ingredients and label dishes clearly at the event.
