Events Calculators

Our event planning calculators take the guesswork out of party planning. Whether you're hosting a wedding, throwing a BBQ, or organizing a birthday party, these tools help you buy the right amount of food and drinks.

Running out of supplies mid-party is stressful. Over-buying wastes money. Our calculators use industry-standard formulas adjusted for event duration, guest demographics, and serving styles to give you accurate estimates.

Event Planning Guidelines

• Alcohol Rule of Thumb: Plan for 1-2 drinks per person for the first hour, then 1 drink per hour after
• BBQ Portions: 1/3 to 1/2 pound of raw meat per adult, less for events with many sides
• Drinks per Person: 2-3 non-alcoholic drinks per person for a 3-4 hour event
• Ice Calculation: 1.5 pounds of ice per person, more in hot weather
