Planning estimate

PartyMeasure provides planning estimates only. Actual needs vary by guest appetite, menu, event length, serving style and local conventions.

How this estimate works

Food, drinks and party favours are per-guest costs multiplied by your guest count. Venue, cake, decorations, entertainment, invitations and miscellaneous are fixed costs. Add all categories for the total; divide by guests for cost per guest. With zero guests, cost per guest is zero. Category percentages are each amount divided by the total.

Practical planning tips

Use quotes or your own price estimates. Keep all entries in the same currency and allow room in miscellaneous for costs you have not yet confirmed.

Common questions

What counts as a per-guest cost?

Food, drinks and party favours. Enter their cost for one guest; the calculator multiplies it by the guest count.

Why is cost per guest useful?

It helps compare your total spending with your guest count. Fixed costs remain in the total even with zero guests.

Can I use any currency?

Yes. Choose a symbol or Other and enter your own. The tool does not convert currencies or choose one based on your location.
