Christmas Dinner Planner & Timeline, Menu Cards, Place Cards, Shopping List, Supper Club Menu, Printable A4 & US Letter

Plan Christmas dinner from the sit-down time backwards, then set a table that matches. This is a 29-page printable kit in one coordinated evergreen, berry-red and gold design. It starts with a joint calculator, a clock-time chart and fill-in timing grids for small, medium and large joints. It continues with oven and hob planning, a guest dietary tracker and a shopping list sorted by shop aisle. The table pieces are menus, a supper club menu, place cards, table numbers, food labels, a welcome sign, invitations and table talk cards. Most card pages come in a text-free version for handwriting.

Please note: this is a print-and-write kit. The pages are supplied as PDFs and the text is not editable. Sample names and dishes are fictional examples. Timings are suggested starting points, so always follow your own recipes and pack instructions. The dietary tracker is a memory aid, not medical advice.

How to use:
1. Download the files on a computer in a browser or PDF reader and open the A4 or US Letter file.
2. Print at 100% / Actual size (not Fit to page). Use plain paper for the planner pages and card stock (about 200-250 gsm) for cards and labels.
3. Fill in the calculator on page 3, copy times from the clock chart onto the timeline for your joint size, then complete the oven plan, shopping lists and dietary tracker.
4. Cut cards along the crop marks, fold place cards and table numbers on the dashed line, and write in names and dishes with a fine pen.
