Should we maybe give Mr. Poll half an hour to settle down and try then?
Oh, and a question for everyone in re the hospitality suite food. I can't be the only one out there with food allergies (please tell me I'm not the only one out there with food allergies). I'm planning a nice spread in the HS. Would a list of what's in which dish be useful? I automatically label stuff "vegetarian" or "safe for pescatarians" but would an ingredients list for each dish be an idea? Since I'm having them supply a corkboard or something of that sort, it would be easy enough to do.
You could set it up as a private Evite. Evite has a polling feature.
Spidra, the problem with an evite is that I need to know who to send it to. And I don't; I don't have a list of attendees. That's partly what I need. The poll in which people tell me, rather than me having to contact them, is what I need.
Deb, when I "catered" a big New Year's thing once, i listed all ingredients. Then the burden is on those with the sensitivities to choose what to put their lips around.
Deb, that sounds like an excellent idea. I know I don't have any allergies, but there are quite a few common and not-so-common ones that people would probably like to know about. Maybe something could be added to the poll as to food allergies, so you'd know what to stay away from or what needed huge arrows and danger signs on them?
edit: Okay, no in-post forms! Here's a plain link instead:

I would love an ingredients list, deb, but only if it's really and truly not a big pile of additional work. You're already doing so much!
(eta: I voted twice to signify that DH is coming with me. We're going for headcount, right?)
Deb, if you send me the list o'ingredients, I can format & print. Advantage of having in-house high-quality equipment....
Yay, Jess! Scurrying off to look...
An ingredients list is no problem for me at all; I'm a retired caterer. And pointing people to the lists is way easier than having to stand and repeat fifty times what's in what....
