Toward the end of 2021, we here at Evite sat around and wondered what parties in 2022 will be like and what trends we have to look forward to. Then we realized it was silly to guess what party trends will be big this year when we could just ask the pros what they’re anticipating!
Here are the trends Jove Meyer, Owner and Creative Director at Jove Meyer Events, and Annie Lee, Principal Planner at Daughter of Design, are predicting for weddings in 2022.
What are some big wedding trends you’re seeing for 2022?
Jove: Color is coming in hot! Color channels joy, and we all need joy more now than ever before! Couples are no longer afraid of pushing the boundaries of color in their wedding! Color in stationery, rentals, flowers, food, cocktails—everywhere you turn color is exploding in weddings!
Less traditional, more out-of-the-box weddings! Couples are leaving behind super formal black-tie celebrations and exploring cocktail-style parties, food truck parties, dance parties, everything outside of the typical wedding box!
Annie: We're definitely still seeing a lot of under 50 guest list weddings. I think 2020 has left this category of wedding permanently on the table.
There are a lot of domestic destination weddings with some continued concerns about travel bans if planning abroad.
Are there any specific types of decor or themes that are surfacing more?
Annie: Overall, we're seeing more minimalist and clean-lined designs for all things visual, like decor and wedding dresses.
Nordic style is the new shabby chic. It's a fusion of minimalist, rustic, modern and mid-century.
Jove: Couples are leaning away from the classic and into FUN, and what makes you think of fun more than color! Beyond just infusing color into the wedding, some couples are leaning into color blocking their wedding—one color, various tones. Some other couples are color blocking their table designs and/or other moments of the wedding!
Are there any venue trends you’re seeing for 2022?
Jove: I think couples are looking to make up for lost time, so they are extending their weddings from one-day events to full weekend gatherings where they can spend as much time as possible with the ones they love!
Annie: Outdoor options for a venue are still very popular with concerns about Covid.
Are there any unique experiences people are now incorporating?
Annie: I did do a Squid Game after-party where we surprised guests with the Dalgona cookie challenge, and the father of the bride shot disqualified guests with a Nerf gun!
Jove: Couples are getting more personal with their big days, infusing their style, love story and personality at every turn. From welcome bites that include a couple's favorite snacks to creative ways to serve the welcome drinks, couples are thinking beyond what has been done in the past to what can be done! Next-level drinks are so fun—think cool glasses, special ice cubes and some moment of wow from smoke to delicious garnishes—and the best part is that these drinks can be mocktails or cocktails so everyone can enjoy them!
Any tips for a couple planning a wedding?
Jove: You do you, boos! Make a list of you and your partner's priorities, and be sure to hold true to them despite all of the other voices and opinions, solicited or not, that will enter your planning process. Stay true to what you want and what's important for you.
Don't forget your why! Love is the reason you are celebrating, and it can be easy to lose sight of that when knee-deep in guest lists and floor plans, but do not forget why you are doing what you're doing. It's for LOVE! Always start with and come back to love.

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!).
