Plan my whole party

Everyone’s coming over.Plan the whole thing at once.

One quick entry. We size the grill, the bar, the games, and the s’mores — then merge the shopping into a single list by aisle. One trip, not five.

How this works

  1. Step 1: Set the scene

    Guests, occasion, what’s in play — once. Or send one link and let them RSVP with what they’re having.

  2. Step 2: We size everything

    The grill, the bar, the games, the s’mores — every tool you picked, sized in one pass.

  3. Step 3: Shop it once

    It all merges into one list by aisle. The cooler’s ice and the bar’s ice? One line. One trip.

What’s the plan?

Toggle off anything you’re not doing. We’ll size the rest and merge the shopping into one list.

How hot will it be?

BBQ / Cookout for 24 guests.

Here’s the whole night, sized and sorted. One shopping list below — open any tool to fine-tune.

The plan, tool by tool

Tap Customize to fine-tune a tool right here — your changes flow straight into the shopping list below.

Want to know exactly who’s coming?

Instead of guessing, share your plan as a link — guests tap what they want, you get the exact list + a grill cook-sheet.

One shopping list

Every food & drink tool merged — ice from the cooler and the bar add up to one line. Split into what to grab fresh vs what you can ship.

Drink counts are shopping estimates to help you stock up — not a recommendation for how much anyone should drink. Host responsibly: plenty of water and NA options, never serve under 21, arrange safe rides.

Stuff people ask.

What does the party planner actually do?

Enter the basics once — guests, how long, the occasion, and what you’re doing. We size every tool you picked and merge the food & drink shopping into one list by aisle — one trip, not five. Open any tool to fine-tune.

Why is the ice just one number?

Because the cooler and the bar both need it, and you buy it once. With both the cookout and drinks tools on, their ice, water, and cups add up into one line — that’s the point of planning it all in one place.

Can I still tweak each tool?

Yes. Tap Customize on any tool to adjust it right here — no re-entering, and you won’t lose your other picks. The charcuterie board uses its own builder — set your guest count there.

Can I save or share the plan?

Two ways. Collecting RSVPs? You get a shareable link to text or post — that’s your save, and your private dashboard keeps everything. Planning it yourself? Tap Email me the whole plan for one printable PDF (free, no account), or Save / copy my plan for a link that reopens your exact party.

The rest of the party, mathed.

Every tool is free — no accounts, no upsells, no fine print.
