Party-day timeline builder

The timeline is for the host and helpers. Guests only need the times that affect them.

Use the calculator

Build a setup, arrival, food, activity, and cleanup schedule backward from the party start time.

The interactive calculator loads here. Your entries remain in this browser.

How the estimate works

The builder works backward from guest arrival for setup and places food, the final activity, and cleanup within the event length.

Use the result as a planning estimate and change it for your guests, menu, room, and local requirements.

Use the real headcount

Create the invitation and collect household replies before making the final plan.
