Event Planning Pack
Budgets, seating and gifts — the numbers the calculators can't tell you
Budgets, seating and gifts, with the numbers the calculators stop short of. Where the money actually goes by event type, the twelve costs that arrive after the deposit, and then the one figure on the invoice you choose yourself: the catering guarantee. It is not the number you expect to turn up, because being one over and being one under do not cost the same — the pack works out where between them to stand, from your own two costs. Then how many a table really seats, the seating rules that decide whether it works, and what to give. 10 pages, printable, with a fill-in event record.
