Party budget questions
Is the party budget calculator free?
Yes. The budget preview is free with no account: enter your total budget, number of guests and estimates for the venue, food, decorations and entertainment to see your total spending, what's left and whether you're over or under budget.
What do I get with the complete planner?
A one-time $14.99 purchase unlocks the advanced budget tracker, guest list and RSVP manager, shopping and vendor organizer, party timeline with countdown, a complete customizable checklist and a printable planning workbook. There's no subscription.
Can I get the planner with an invitation?
Yes. The Planner + Invitation bundle includes the complete planner and the digital invitation that matches your celebration (a birthday style you pick, the wedding, baby shower or bridal shower invitation, a holiday invitation, or a Simple Collection invitation for anniversaries and other parties). You pay the invitation's price plus $10.00 for the planner instead of $14.99.
Do I need an account?
Not for the free preview. The complete planner is saved to a free Invitation Loft account, so you sign in or create one before checkout. That's how your planner stays private and opens again on any device.
How much should I budget per guest for a party?
Divide your total budget by your guest count to see your per-guest amount. Food and drinks are usually the biggest share, so set that number first and fit decorations and extras around it.
Which celebrations does it work for?
Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, anniversaries, holiday parties and any other celebration.
