6 Reasons You’ll Love Our Kwanzaa Party Budget Worksheet
1. Easy to View
The sheet is in a user-friendly fashion and organized. It also separates Kwanzaa party expenses by category, instead of listing all the details in one long list like other templates.
In addition, there is a feature for formatting that will help with planning. They are titled estimated and actual columns. In the estimated column, you can start with a rough budget. After you get the ball rolling, and know the actual prices, feel free to adjust your spending accordingly.
2. Shareable!
You have the opportunity to work with other planners easily, and to plan this event in record time because this worksheet is shared through Google Sheets. A way to reduce the chance of important or costly mistakes is by having everyone’s eyes on the same sheet.
3. Event-Specific
Host a memorable and one-of-a-kind Kwanzaa party. Don't use a generic old template for your expense tracker. This budget planner contains categories with line items that are specifically for a Kwanzaa party.
4. Pie Charts
Begin filling in your budget items, and the expense sheet will automatically fill in the correct pie charts located at the top of the page. By category, these graphs show you visually the amount of money you’re spending. If you would like to designate more or less to any specific category, you can use this tool to measure that.
5. Easy to Organize
When assigning people to certain expenses, you will find it easier to do with the ‘who pays’ column. If this sheet is being shared with fellow planners, this helps to ensure that someone is on top of confirming which items are ready to go.
6. Individual Payment Tab
On the Payment tab (found at the bottom of the budget worksheet), you can keep track of payments and individual expenses made. Assign the person responsible for the payments for that item, then simply enter the Total Cost. Once you enter the payments that were made, we will calculate the amount left.
