Party Checklist Generator

We recommend starting 4 weeks before the party date. This gives you enough time to book a venue, send invitations, plan the menu, and handle all the details without last-minute stress. Our checklist generates a week-by-week countdown starting 4 weeks out.

No worries! The checklist still works — just focus on the tasks for the remaining weeks. Some earlier tasks (like booking a venue or sending invitations) may need to be done right away. The checklist helps you prioritize what matters most.

Yes! The generator adjusts based on whether your party is indoor or outdoor and whether you are hosting at home or a rented venue. Venue-specific tasks only appear when relevant, keeping your checklist focused on what you actually need to do.

Click the "Print Checklist" button above your generated checklist. This opens your browser's print dialog with a clean, print-friendly version — all sections expanded, checkboxes included, and no extra website elements. Save as PDF or print on paper.

Following up on RSVPs is the most commonly forgotten task! Many parents send invitations but forget to follow up, leading to uncertain guest counts that affect food, seating, and party favor quantities. Our checklist includes this reminder 2 weeks before the party.

Not every task applies to every party. The checklist is comprehensive so nothing gets overlooked, but simpler parties may only need 15-20 tasks. Check off what applies and skip what does not — the progress tracker adapts to how many tasks you complete.
