About Party Planning Guide

Throwing a party sounds fun until you realize you need to figure out food for 30 people, decorations that match a theme, entertainment that keeps everyone engaged, and a timeline that lets you actually enjoy your own event. Most hosts spend the party stressed in the kitchen instead of talking to their guests.

It plans the entire party from timeline to shopping list. Enter the [EVENT_TYPE], [GUEST_COUNT], and [BUDGET] along with the vibe you want. It produces a countdown planning timeline, a menu with food and drink suggestions, decoration ideas, entertainment activities, and a day-of schedule. It even tells you which tasks to delegate and what to order in advance.

The day-of timeline is the part that saves the party. Knowing that appetizers go out at 7:00 and the cake comes at 8:30 keeps you on track without feeling frantic. Open it in the Dock Editor and start planning. For a more structured task-tracking approach, pair this with the event checklist creator.

How to Use Party Planning Guide

1

Copy the prompt

Paste this template into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.

2

Set the basics

Choose [EVENT_TYPE], [GUEST_COUNT], [DATE], [TIME], and [VENUE]. These five fields determine the entire plan. A backyard barbecue for 15 people needs different planning than a themed cocktail party for 50.

3

Define the vibe

Select [VIBE] and add a [THEME] if you have one. The AI matches food, decorations, and activities to the atmosphere you want. "Relaxed and casual" gets a different menu than "elegant and sophisticated."

4

Set your budget

Enter [BUDGET] as a specific number. The AI divides it across food, drinks, decorations, and entertainment with percentage breakdowns. It highlights where to splurge and where to save.

5

Delegate and order early

The plan flags tasks you can hand off to friends and items that need advance ordering. Review those first and assign them before doing anything else.

Who Uses Party Planning Guide

Birthday party hosts

From kid parties with activities and goody bags to adult milestone celebrations, the plan scales to age and formality. Mention the birthday person's interests in [THEME] for personalized touches.

Holiday hosts

Annual gatherings benefit from a repeatable plan. Save your template and update it yearly with new menu items, guest counts, and lessons from last time.

Dinner party hosts

Intimate dinner parties need a different approach than large events. Set [GUEST_COUNT] under 10 and [VIBE] to intimate for a plan focused on menu courses, table setting, and conversation flow.

Budget-conscious entertainers

A great party does not require a big budget. The AI shows where DIY decorations, potluck contributions, and smart shopping save money without guests noticing the difference.
