Birthday Party Food Calculator

For a two- to three-hour birthday party, plan 6 appetizer pieces, one main serving, two sides, two drinks, and one dessert per guest.

Select several foods and PortionPal will combine their quantities into one event shopping plan.

Kids count as about 60% of an adult portion. Every item uses the same PortionPal calculation engine as the single-food tools.
