A starting point, not a rule
Choose your total, add your guests, and find a starting point for each part of the party.
Example allocation: 40% food & drinks, 20% table & decor, 15% activities & favors, 10% venue & logistics, 15% buffer. Adapt this to your event; venue hire may require a different split.
A matching invitation, custom favor, balloon wall and elaborate game are each optional. Choose what matters to your people. A comfortable place to gather is a very good start.
