Plan a Friendsgiving menu everyone wants to eat
Friendsgiving menus end up with three mac and cheeses and no stuffing. Before anyone signs up to bring something, put the dish ideas in a Rankd and let everyone rank them. The top of the list is the menu; the bottom is what you can skip.
- Mac and cheese
- Stuffing
- Green bean casserole
- Sweet potatoes
- Pumpkin pie
- Mashed potatoes
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- You cook what the group actually wants most.
- The ranked list makes sign-ups easy: claim a dish from the top.
- Picky eaters can rank without derailing the menu.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 12 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Rank sides and desserts as separate Rankds if the list is long.
- Mark dishes that are vegetarian or gluten-free in the option name.
Questions
Can I use it for the main Thanksgiving dinner too?
Yes. It works the same for family Thanksgiving: rank the sides, the pies, or even who hosts next year.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
