Once the headcount is set, so is the prep
The ○ count per candidate date is tallied automatically, so you can estimate the gift exchange headcount and the amount of food right away.
Tips
- Send candidates by mid-November to secure an early-December weekend.
- Change the options to "Adult / Child / Absent" to see the breakdown at the same time.
