They provide a visual breakdown of all your expenses and simplify budgeting down to the smallest detail. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Sheets makes it easy to create, edit, and share, but Excel will also do. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>You may have to use budgeting software<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already know that your event budget will<\/span> go beyond that of a typical soir\u00e9e (e.g., special guests, entertainment, and an after-party), spreadsheets probably won\u2019t cut it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, look into specialized programs, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventpro.net\/\">EventPro<\/a>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">designed with more complex budgets in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Don\u2019t dismiss any smaller-ticket items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that no detail is too small to include. Do yourself a favor and be as specific as possible when noting your expenses. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, grouping all beverages into a single category instead of breaking out \u201calcohol\u201d into its own line may cause issues later. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Columns, columns, columns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll find it extremely helpful to include separate expense columns (Estimated vs. Actual), as well as to dedicate sections to item details and deadlines. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That way, your client has a clear understanding of where their money is going. It also allows you to keep track of when payments are due. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Next, check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/event-venue-business\/\">5 key steps to managing a successful event<\/a> to hone your skills further. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Peerspace Banner -->\n<div class=\"banner\">\n  <div class=\"banner-text\">\n\n    \n    <h2>Find the perfect location for your event.<\/h2>\n\n    \n    \n    <p>\n      Peerspace makes it easy to find the perfect event venue.

This means calling for a fun and convenient venue location and plenty of booze. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, a product <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/launch-event\">launch party<\/a> would require an entirely different focus, and its needs would be largely promotional. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where a spreadsheet really comes in handy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spreadsheet considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you ensure you cover all your bases and budget wisely no matter the event you are planning? We have you covered. In case you\u2019re left to your own discretion, here are a few things to always include on your spreadsheet<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Expense categories and subcategories<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Break out as much as possible within each category to avoid any potential missteps. Rather than simply listing \u201cFood and Beverages,\u201d create separate line items &nbsp;\u2014 especially when multiple vendors are involved. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only will this column keep you sane, but it\u2019ll also minimize miscommunication if you\u2019re working with a partner or if your client requires approval. Be as descriptive as possible. If you can\u2019t quite explain why a particular item is essential, it may be worth reconsidering.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Estimated cost<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you reach out to various vendors for quotes, you\u2019ll start to get an idea of how much every expense category will set you back. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note a ballpark figure during the preliminary stages of planning to see where costs fit into your budget expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Actual cost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should be the final figure you\u2019ve agreed to pay your vendor. In addition to helping you keep track of your budget, this column will be a valuable resource to refer back to when planning your next event.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cost difference (Estimated vs. Actual)<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assuming that the total of your estimated costs is well within your budget, the Difference column will reveal how much over or under budget you are. Evaluate your most important expenses and trim costs as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t quite know where to begin, it\u2019s always helpful to ask your company or client for past figures. Knowing how much they allotted to each category for a similar event will serve as a great sample event budget and help guide you in the right direction in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Hoping to rent a warehouse for the day for your event? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/rent-a-warehouse-for-a-day\/\">Here&#8217;s precisely how to do so.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Peerspace Banner -->\n<div class=\"banner\">\n  <div class=\"banner-text\">\n\n    \n    <h2>Find the perfect location for your event.<\/h2>\n\n    \n    \n    <p>\n      Peerspace makes it easy to find the perfect event venue.
