Home Party Budget
Party budgets are an important and
necessary tool for planning a party. Without
a budget,
the cost of a party can spiral out of
control and end up costing way more than
expected.
Party budgets must be determined at the
beginning of the planning process. This will
provide a guide to the types of food served,
the decorations and the number of guests
that will be affordable for the host(s).
The party budget featured below
is a guide for a standard
home party.
It is important to
remember that each party is different and
individuals will prioritise
different items required for a party.
The printable version of the checklist will
allow you to make changes to the list to
eliminate items and add items. You are also
able to change the budget percentage
allocations to suit you priorities for the
party.
