Eid Social Planner Guide: Hosting, Visiting & Calls by Bucket

The Eid Social Planner: Sort Everyone by Visit Type

Eid social plans get messy when names live in one undifferentiated list. Eid Social Planner gives you four fixed buckets—each one is a visit type. Every checklist item is a slot for a family or person: rename it to a real name, add notes for timing or Eidi, and move the item when your plan changes.

Four Visit Types, One Clear List

Bucket	Meaning
Hosting	They come to you—meals, tea, or open house.
Visiting	You go to them in person.
Call / Message Only	You’ll connect remotely; still intentional.
Not Decided Yet	Parking spot until you choose a visit type.

This structure matches how real Eid logistics work: who needs a seat at your table, who needs a drive across town, and who needs a scheduled call.

Inside the Checklist: One Bucket at a Time

Hosting

• Add hosted households or guests — Rename each item to a name or family label.
• Use notes for headcount, meal time, or Eidi if helpful.
• Add more items in Checkolo if you host many groups.

Visiting

• Add in-person visits — Each row is someone you’ll travel to see.
• Note day or time when you know it.
• Duplicate rows for a long list.

Call / Message Only

• Add contacts for calls or messages — Respectful when travel or health doesn’t allow a visit.
• Note channel (voice, video, text) if it helps you follow through.

Not Decided Yet

• Park names here temporarily — When you’re unsure if you’ll host or visit.
• Review mid–Eid week and move each person to exactly one other bucket.
• Goal: an empty “Not Decided” bucket by Eid.

Why This Checklist Gets Finished

• Buckets match decisions you already make—not abstract project phases.
• Rename-in-place turns prompts into a real roster.
• Not Decided Yet stops silent maybes from derailing the day.

How to Use This Template

1. Start with every name you care about—even if unsure, use Not Decided Yet.
2. Rename each item from the placeholder text to the actual person or household.
3. Move items between buckets as plans firm up (Checkolo supports reordering/editing).
4. Add items to any bucket if four starter rows aren’t enough.
5. Aim to clear Not Decided Yet before Eid.

For timing, travel buffers, conflict checks, and Eidi prep, pair this with the Eid Visit & Social Rotation guide.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving people only in your head—not on the list
• Using Visiting for people you’ll only call (be honest; use Call / Message Only)
• Letting Not Decided Yet stay full until the last minute
• Forgetting to rename items so the list stays readable next year

Frequently Asked Questions

Why four separate buckets instead of one long list?
Visit type drives timing and expectations. Buckets make trade-offs visible without offending people you can’t visit in person.

What should each item title be?
The household or person’s name. Replace the starter text as soon as you can.

Can I add more than four people per bucket?
Yes—duplicate or add items inside the same bucket.

When should “Not Decided Yet” be empty?
Before Eid day, ideally—everyone should land in Hosting, Visiting, or Call/Message.

Is Call / Message Only OK for elders?
Yes—when a visit isn’t feasible, a planned call is respectful and clear.
