Potluck dessert tips

1. Make sure to bring enough desserts to feed everyone! It’s always better to have too much than too little.

2. Ensure you know the ingredients of each dessert you bring to the potluck. This will help people with allergies, or dietary restrictions determine which desserts they can safely eat.

3. Label your potluck desserts, so people will know what they eat. Include your name and an ingredient list.

4. Get creative and make sure your desserts stand out! Consider making mini desserts or creating a themed dessert table.

5. Bring utensils and serving plates for your desserts. This will make it easier for your guests to serve themselves and enjoy your delicious potluck treats.

6. Don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the potluck party!
