Holiday Dinner Guest Application

Before anyone receives a plate, they must accept the house rules, disclose any smuggled relatives, explain at least one holiday trauma, and promise not to reopen a family investigation while the gravy is circulating.

The Holiday Dinner Guest Application is a six-page, darkly funny printable for families who love one another—but perhaps should not sit together without assigned seating, documented boundaries, and an emotional-support pie.

INSIDE THE APPLICATION:

• Page 1: Mandatory house rules, including plastic-wrapped shoes, protected decorative towels, thermostat warrants, toilet-paper crimes, and medicine-cabinet trades

• Page 2: Invitation details, arrival times, dishes, transportation, surprise guests, children, exes, situationships, and relatives hiding in the car

• Page 3: Food allergies, dietary needs, suspicious casseroles, alcohol warnings, bathroom disappearances, and bodily consequences

• Page 4: Holiday trauma, conversational landmines, politics, family grudges, and what happens when the family still loves your ex—and invited them too

• Page 5: Seating arrangements, photo consent, children, pets, cleanup, leftovers, and emergency dinner diplomacy

• Page 6: Final interrogation, references, approval status, signatures, and the legally questionable Holiday Guest Oath

Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Friendsgiving, family reunions, holiday parties, or any gathering where someone will eventually whisper, “We are not discussing that today.”
