Holiday Party Planner Kit: Work Christmas Party Budget and RSVP Planner (Excel), Run Sheets, Signs, Name Tags, Party Policy and Templates

Most party guides give you a list of themes and stop. This kit helps you run the whole party: set the cost per person, check pay and alcohol rules with HR, collect RSVPs and diets, brief your hosts and say thank you.

What is inside (US Letter and A4, plus Excel and Word):

• Planner guide (10 pages). Eight decisions to settle first, a per-head budget worksheet with contingency, a pay, time and alcohol checklist, an inclusion and access checklist, a venue and vendor checklist, an 8-week timeline, four run sheets (team lunch, evening party, open house, virtual) and an after-party review.
• Excel budget and RSVP planner. A budget with per-person and flat cost lines, a contingency, cost per person, a budget check and a total limit check. An RSVP and diet tracker for up to 100 people that counts the confirmed and planning headcount, plus-ones, diets and access needs. A run sheet that calculates clock times, a countdown from your party day and a vendor comparison sheet for up to five venue or caterer quotes.
• Signs and cards (7 pages). Eight signs, name tags, drink tickets, thank-you cards, a volunteer roster and a feedback form.
• A one-page party policy and 12 editable templates in Word: invitation, reminder, diet and access request, hosts brief, vendor quote request, virtual and hybrid invitation, two thank-you notes, a feedback email, an entertainment booking brief and rider checklist, a raffle rules template and a one-page guest list policy.

Good to know: All designs and templates are original to Work Wizardry. Timing and contingency figures are rules of thumb, not research. Pay, time and alcohol notes are general information, not legal or HR advice: pay and time rules differ by state, and alcohol host liability differs by state, so ask HR, your insurer and your lawyer. Example numbers in the Excel file are examples: replace them.
