August is National Wellness Month. Self-care, stress management and healthy routines are all fantastic ways to boost your well-being. They can also be a lot of fun, especially if you get others involved in the experience.
Not quite sure how to turn self-care into a group thing? We have some ideas! So sit back, relax and see what speaks to you (and also think about who you want to invite).
Bring the spa to you
A little pampering goes a long way toward improving mind and body wellness, and it doesn’t have to involve spending a lot of money or time planning. Just do a little shopping for supplies, invite a small group of friends and start practicing for your #wellfie! Need some in-spahhh-ration? Here are our top tips:
- Add ambiance with candles, relaxing music and an outdoor setting complete with potted palms. Also, encourage your guests to bring robes to wear for maximum comfort.
- Opt for sheet masks over clay or cream. They’re inexpensive, available in multi-packs so everyone can choose their fave and oh-so-easy to use.
- Set up a mini mani station. Provide nail polish remover and cotton balls for old polish removal, individual bowls with warm water and shower oil for nail soaking, nail files and of course, nail polish!
- Pre-make some delicious appetizers and set up a mimosa bar for guests to help themselves to. The conversation won’t be the only thing flowing!
- Send your guests home with goodies to keep them glowing! Bath bombs, hand lotion, candles, tea packets and eye masks all fit perfectly into goody bags, and they’ll definitely be appreciated and used. Bonus points if you embellish the bag with a sprig of dried lavender.
Embrace the great outdoors
The feel of grass under bare feet. The sound of leaves dancing in the breeze. The sight of blue skies. Mentally and physically, spending time out in nature is a great way to boost your mood. Gather a few friends and meet at your local park, forest or lake and embrace nature together. You can also use this moment as an opportunity to raise funds for the National Forest Foundation on your invitation. So take your allergy meds and ponder the following suggestions:
- Try forest bathing. Put your phone on DND and fully immerse yourself in your surroundings. Take in all of the sights, sounds, textures and scents of the forest and focus on the moment. Share what you’re sensing with each other if you feel comfortable doing so.
- Take a hike on a trail that everyone in your group can manage. Wear proper clothing and footwear, and don’t forget the water and sunscreen!
- Enjoy yoga in the park. Grab your mat, look up some new poses and perform a true sun salutation.
- Watch the sunset or go stargazing to venture beyond blue skies. If stargazing, bring along some star charts and see how many constellations and planets you can spot.
Savor & share healthy recipes
There’s no shortage of mouthwatering recipes out there, but finding ones that are both delicious and good for you can be a real journey. Set up a healthy recipe swap with some of your friends! Not only will you enjoy some tasty food with excellent company, but you can also add something new to your own recipe book. Here’s how to make it happen:
- Send out an invitation that lets your guests know to bring a healthy dish of their choice along with copies of the recipe for other guests to take home. “Healthy dishes” can include a variety of things, such as foods that are organic, fresh (not processed), high in nutrients or low in sugar and saturated fat.
- Set up a table or two outside with plates and cutlery at one end and cups, napkins and drinks at the other to keep the things organized. Consider purchasing chafing dishes and fuel to keep hot dishes warm. Make sure you have enough seating for everyone.
- When the guests arrive, spread their dishes out across the tables and keep them covered until most or all of the guests are there. Place the recipes behind the dishes.
- Once the group is complete, announce that it’s time for everyone to dig in and discover their new favorite recipes!
Want to extend the good vibes out to even more people? Consider adding a donation button! Your guests can donate to a non-profit or crowdfunding project of your choice while RSVPing to your invitation through Evite Donations, powered by Pledge. Active Minds, CicLAvia and the aforementioned National Forest Foundation are a few organizations to consider supporting during National Wellness Month.

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
