Potluck Basics
Put it all in one message
- Lead with the time and place. “Saturday, six o’clock, Maple Street” beats a vague “this weekend”.
- Assign a dish to each guest by name so you do not end up with five desserts.
- Free sends wait in a queue of about 10 minutes, so send the reminder well before the evening rush.
- Add a way to reach you, because replies are not forwarded.
Sending Only
What this tool does and doesn’t do
Searches like text free online send and receive text messages suggest a two-way inbox. This service is for sending only. It cannot receive texts, and no conversation opens on your end.
For a potluck that is usually enough. One clear reminder per friend, with the details, and the plans are set.
