Budgeting for Your Event
Setting a realistic budget is the first step in successful party planning. UK party costs vary hugely depending on the type of event, but having a clear budget breakdown helps you prioritise spending and avoid nasty surprises.
For a typical UK party, expect to allocate roughly 40-50% of your budget to food and drink, 15-20% to venue hire, 10-15% to entertainment, and the remainder to decorations, invitations, and extras. Our budget calculators let you enter your own prices so estimates match your specific suppliers and location.
The per-guest cost calculator is particularly useful for working backwards from a total budget to see what you can afford per person. This helps you make decisions about guest numbers versus the quality of food and entertainment you can provide.
