The Hosting Planner | Party and Dinner Planner for ADHD and Autistic Adults | Printable PDF
You love these people. You'd like them to come over. It's the three days of dread before and the two days of recovery after that get you. 🍲
The Hosting Planner breaks a get-together into small steps you can actually do, and adds the things most party planners forget: a quiet room, a job to keep your hands busy, a safe person with a signal, and a friendly way to end the night on time. It works for a holiday dinner, a games night, a brunch for three or the cousins staying over in December.
What's inside (13 pages):
- Hosting that suits me: your guest count, how long before you fade, what drains you
- Who's coming: yes/no, food needs, allergies and who's bringing what
- The easy menu: make, buy or ask someone, with a column for "fits food needs?"
- The countdown, from a week out to 30 minutes before, so nothing lands on the last hour
- Sensory setup: lamps, music, smells, coats, and a quiet room for you and your guests
- My anchors for the night: jobs you like, a check-in reminder, a break plan
- Hosting scripts, from "shoes off, please" to the last guest who won't leave
- Houseguests: sleeping, bathroom, meals and protecting your alone time
- After the party: tonight vs. tomorrow, plus a real recovery day
- Hosting log, so you learn your perfect guest count and end time
- Cut-out table and door cards (food labels, "Quiet room. No chatting needed.")
Good to know:
- Instant download: ZIP with US Letter and A4 PDFs plus a READ ME
- Print a fresh set for each get-together, or write on it in a PDF app
