Know exactly where every dollar goes, before the bills arrive.
This is the budget system I used to plan a 142-guest 70th birthday and retirement celebration that came in 26% under projection. Enter your numbers in the highlighted cells, and the template does the math for you.
What’s inside:
• Budget tracker: 12 categories, from venue and catering to décor, attire and gratuities, with columns for projected and actual cost, who pays, deposits, balances, due dates and reimbursements.
• Summary dashboard: category totals, each category’s share of your spending, money left in your budget, and cost per guest.
• Catering calculator: turns a banquet menu into the real bill, including service charge and tax, so a “$55 plate” doesn’t surprise you.
Excel file (.xlsx), also opens in Google Sheets. Instant digital download. Works on its own or with The Milestone Celebration Playbook.
