Plan your BBQ party without the stress

Organising a BBQ party is fun. But coordinating who brings what can quickly become a headache. Five packs of sausages, no salad, and nobody thought to bring charcoal. It doesn't have to be that way.

What should go on a BBQ bring-along list?

A good BBQ bring-along list covers all the bases: meat and sausages, vegetarian and vegan options, sides and salads, sauces and dips, enough drinks, and equipment like charcoal, foil, and napkins. With whobrings, you can set a specific amount for each item. E.g. "4 packs of sausages" or "2 bottles of red wine". So your guests know exactly what's needed.

Why use whobrings for your BBQ?

No more duplicates: With a shared list that everyone can see in real time, nobody brings the same thing twice. Guests claim their item and it's instantly visible to everyone.

Set amounts for clarity: Specify exactly how much you need of each item. E.g. 300 g of meat per person. You'll always have enough of everything.

No account needed: Your guests don't need to sign up. Share a link and everyone can join instantly. On any smartphone.

Free for any group size: Whether it's a grill for six or a garden party for fifty, whobrings is free and easy to use.

Frequently asked questions about BBQ party planning

When should I share the bring-along list with my guests?

Ideally 3-5 days before the party, so guests have time to plan their shopping. For spontaneous BBQs it works just as well on the same day. Drop the link in the WhatsApp group and you're done.

How do I plan the right quantities for my BBQ?

Add a specific amount to each item in whobrings. E.g. "Steaks: 8 pieces" or "Beer: 3 six-packs". Your guests see at a glance what's still needed and you don't have to do the maths yourself. As a rough guide: about 300-400 g of meat per person, 1-2 sides, and 1-1.5 litres of drinks.

What categories work best for a BBQ bring-along list?

A proven setup: "From the grill" (meat, sausages, veggies, veggie options), "Sides & salads" (pasta salad, bread, coleslaw, dips), "Drinks" (beer, water, soft drinks), and "Equipment" (charcoal, fire starter, foil, napkins). You can set these categories up in whobrings in seconds.

Can multiple guests fill in the list at the same time?

Yes. whobrings syncs all entries in real time. If Jonas is adding beer while Marie adds the pasta salad, both see the current state immediately. No duplicates, no confusion.

How do I include vegetarian and vegan options in the BBQ planning?

Create a dedicated "Veggie on the grill" category in whobrings and add specific items: halloumi, grilled vegetables, veggie sausages, plant-based dips. Vegetarian and vegan guests see exactly what's planned for them, and others can fill those slots on purpose.

Do my guests need an app or an account?

No. whobrings runs entirely in the browser. No download, no account required for your guests. Just open the link and go, on any smartphone or computer.
