Free kit · 17 pages · for the officer running Bid Day

Bid Day is not a party you throw. It is the day that decides who stays.

The confirmed bid list can land a few hours before the doors open. Before that you owe a venue, food for a crowd, a car plan, forty decorated signs, a schedule, and a room full of brand new women who each need to be welcomed by name. This free kit hands you the budget framework, the backwards timeline, the sign system, and the welcome plan that make the biggest day of the chapter year feel handled.

• The B.I.D.D.A.Y. budget framework. Six moves that keep the day beautiful without draining the account, plus the money part nobody warns you about: who fronts it on a personal card, and how long reimbursement actually takes.
• The backwards timeline. Start from Bid Day and work in reverse, so nothing sneaks up on you. It comes as a fillable page with a date line for each week and a checkbox for every task, which is what turns a date on the calendar into something you can hand to a committee.
• The sign system. The insider fix for a late list. Decorate every sign weeks early and leave only the name blank, then hand the lettering to a small team with good handwriting and no other job during arrivals. A ninety minute panic becomes a twenty minute task.
• The welcome plan, and the roster that does four jobs. The member assigned to welcome a new member is the same one who drives her, stays for the meeting afterward, and stands beside her in the photos. Build that list once instead of four times, and run the meaningful moment at peak attendance instead of at the end.
• The printables. The backwards timeline, the welcome assignment sheet, the sign prep tracker, and the one page run of show, all built to print, write on, and hand to a committee. The master item checklist prints too.
