Gingerbread House Party Planner Spreadsheet, Decorating Contest Judging Sheet, Candy Sign Up and Kit List, Excel Google Sheets Template

Seller's description

Host a gingerbread house decorating party without the guesswork: one spreadsheet that works out how many kits you need, makes sure there's enough candy for every house, and keeps the judging fair and simple.

WHAT YOU GET
• Settings where you choose how many builders share a house, how many spare kits you want and how many cups of candy each house needs
• Automatic kit count: builders, houses and kits with spares, worked out from your guest list
• Guest list for up to 100 guests, kids included, with RSVP (Yes, Maybe, No, Waiting), age group, who's building and allergies
• Candy sign-up with 60 rows: who's bringing it, the candy, its type, cups, nuts and gluten
• Candy cups needed against cups pledged, plus cups by candy type
• Judging sheet for up to 40 houses with five categories you can rename, totals, ranks and category wins
• Awards box with the winner of each category, the top score overall and the best house in each division (Kids, Teens, Adults, Family), with ties marked
• Kits and supplies list (kits, bases, royal icing, piping bags, plates, cups, cocoa) sized to your kits, builders and guests
• Party timeline from invites to judging, dated back from the party and timed from the start
• Dashboard with days to go, guests, builders, houses, kits, candy, progress bars and what needs attention

HOW IT WORKS
1. Type the party date, start time and your kit and candy numbers on Settings.
2. Add your guests, then add each candy on the sign-up as guests claim one.
3. On the day, score each house on Judging and read the winners off the Dashboard.
