When I get a calendar alert reminding me to sign the kids up for camp, I know summer is around the corner. For all of you fall-loving, pumpkin-spice-latte-drinking, boot-wearing people, I have news for you: Summer fashion is where it’s at. To me, summer is a chance to be the best, most dreamy version of yourself. Maybe I get it from the many teen romance novels and shows I have devoured in my lifetime, but I have these visions of myself yachting through St. Tropez, dining with New York’s art elite on a rooftop, at a BBQ in the Hamptons, at a luau in Maui…you get the point.
While I literally have plans to go nowhere this summer, I have great ideas and, as I said, lots of fantasies that translate into hundreds of saved outfit ideas for every dream occasion. From backyard barbecues to beach days to a day (or night) on a friend’s boat, I’m sharing fabulous finds that will bring out the sun, fun and summer party vibes!
And for easy shopping, browse all my outfit picks in this Amazon shop. You’re welcome.

Pool party
Sets, sets, sets. Summer is about the sets. Enter this super sexy crochet set that’s part exotic and part practical for a fun summer pool party. It’s not too dressy and it’s easy to take off for a dip in the actual pool. (Do people actually swim at pool parties?) Paired with a great bikini, a pop of pearl and trendy sandals, this outfit will make a splash!
BBQ
A backyard barbecue on a warm summer night makes me so happy. When the grill is going and margaritas or beer are being served, I lean towards a casual, comfortable look. A white button-down is like a security blanket to me—wear it slightly open and half-tucked into ripped jeans shorts with a pair of cute slides and a wide straw hat because this party will go day to night!
Beach day
Family beach days are where memories are made (and lots of shlepping is done). If we’re heading to the beach with a group of friends for a little party, I need to make sure what I’m wearing stays up and my shoes keep me from burning my feet on the sand. I recently got this crochet cover-up and it’s so cute! I paired it with a Hunza dupe, comfy shoes and a big ol’ hat. Surf’s up, baby!
Luau
This outfit screams island breeze to me, and it’s making me wish I was in Hawaii sipping a piña colada and watching hula dancers. Maybe you’re off to Hawaii and need a great outfit for a luau or maybe you’re heading somewhere tropical and need a nice going-out dress: This off-the-shoulder lace dress and straw clutch combine to create the perfect simple yet elevated look.
Picnic
End-of-year class party
Not quite sure how we have only one month of school left (insert my freaked out face), but here we are. Buckle up, baby. We have some entertaining of the children to do! But before you go forth into the unknown of summer, it’s likely you will have to gather with classmates for an end-of-year party or get-together. Keep it cool with a lightweight romper, oversized aviators that look incredibly designer and the newest trend on the shoe scene: fisherman gladiators! Be prepared to get compliments from the other mamas with this look.
Patriotic party
Let’s get straight to the point: It’s a red, white or blue situation for your patriotic party fit. I love this red flowy set (told you this summer’s all about sets!) paired with beautiful sandals. But, if blue is more your vibe, you could opt for this blue shorts (you guessed it) set and keep it open with a white tank under.
Garden party
Summer dinner party
While I may not be dining al fresco in Tuscany this summer, I do have some friends with gorgeous homes and I am so looking forward to recreating this chic, classic and sophisticated black-and-white look. A black strapless tunic top paired with linen pants, gold bangles (double up!) and Celine lookalike sunnies—it feels so effortless and gives off quiet luxury energy. Now, someone invite me to a party, please!

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.
