potluck etiquette

Potluck etiquette involves bringing a thoughtfully prepared dish to share, ensuring it complements the event's theme or needs. Always coordinate with the host and specify what you'll bring to avoid duplicates. Arrive on time, and where possible, bring enough for others. Label your dish with ingredients to assist those with allergies or preferences. Use clean serving utensils and clean up after yourself. If requested, bring extra for seconds or leftovers. Respect the host’s guidelines and community spirit, sharing food generously while showing appreciation for others’ contributions. This fosters a friendly, organized, and enjoyable gathering for everyone.
