6 Reasons You’ll Love Our Block Party Budget Worksheet
1. Easy to View
Instead of having all of the details in one long list like you may have had otherwise, this sheet separates block party expenses by category which creates a very user-friendly experience.
Another formatting feature that will help you plan is the estimated and actual columns. You can adjust your spending accordingly if you start out with a rough budget in the estimated column and make adjustments as needed once you become aware of actual prices.
2. Pie Charts
These graphs will show you visually how much you’re spending by category. Once you start filling in your budget items, the expense sheet will automatically start filling in the pie charts at the top of the page. Use this tool to gauge if you want to allocate more to a specific category, or less to another!
3. Event-Specific
Our budget planner has categories and line items that should make for a one-of-a-kind, memorable block party event. Your expense tracker should not be any old generic template, so we have ours to offer to you!
4. Easy to Organize
If you are sharing this sheet with fellow planners this will ensure someone is on top of making sure that item is ready to go. You will find it easy to assign people to certain expenses with the ‘who pays’ column!
5. Individual Payment Tab
Our sheet lets you keep track of individual expenses and payments made on the Payment Tab (found at the bottom of the worksheet). All you have to do is enter the Total Cost and assign the worker responsible for payments for that item. Then enter your payments made and we'll calculate the amount left.
6. Shareable
you can easily work with fellow planners through Google Sheets to get your event planned in record time. It also reduces the possibility for costly or important mistakes.
