Your party preferences, checklist completions, and guest counts stay strictly on your local device.
Select your gathering style (Cocktail Housewarming, Game Night, Birthday Bash, Summer BBQ, or Holiday Feast) and specify your expected guest count and party duration. The tool calculates exact ice, wine, beer, and finger food estimates, while providing an interactive countdown checklist from T-7 days to 30 minutes before guests arrive with printable PDF exports.
The golden rule of party hosting is approximately 1 pound (0.5 kg) of ice per guest. This accounts for cocktail shaking, chilling beers in coolers, and serving over ice throughout the gathering.
Batching signature cocktails in large pitchers or dispensers beforehand frees you from standing behind the counter all night, allowing you to mingle and enjoy your guests.
