Party food calculator
How many pizzas, drinks, and bags of ice to buy. Enter your guests; the answers update as you type.
Festidi's plan uses these same amounts and updates them as RSVPs come in.
Make your planHow it works
- Pizza: 2 slices per child and 3 per adult, 8 slices to a large pizza, rounded up.
- Plates, cups, napkins: guests plus about 15%, for spills and seconds.
- Drinks: about 2 per guest in the first hour, then 1 per guest for each hour after. Kids' parties are planned at 2 hours.
- Ice: about 1 lb per guest. Buy more on hot days, and keep one bag just for drinks.
- Cake: one serving per guest, adults and siblings included.
- Grown-up parties: about 1.25 servings of food per guest, and seats for about two thirds of guests.
Only know the total? Festidi assumes about 6 in 10 guests at a kids' party are kids.
Allergies: ask on the invitation, keep one safe option ready, and keep the labels from anything packaged. Festidi's RSVP page asks guests about allergies and puts them in one list for you.
