## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I'm hosting [THE OCCASION, e.g. my partner's 40th birthday] for [GUEST COUNT, e.g. 25 adults] at [VENUE TYPE, e.g. our home and backyard] on [PARTY DATE]. Budget: [PARTY BUDGET]. The feeling I want: [THE VIBE, e.g. relaxed but stylish]. Guests with dietary needs: [DIETARY NEEDS].

Give me 3 theme ideas with one line each, then build the full plan around the first one (I'll ask you to switch if I prefer another): a simple menu with quantities, a drinks plan, a shopping list grouped by store section, decorations that fit the budget, a run-of-show for the day, and a countdown checklist from 4 weeks out to the morning of. Flag anything I should book or order early.
```

## Step by step

1. Note the date, guest count, budget and space you have.
2. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
3. Swap the theme if you like another and ask it to rebuild the plan.
4. Paste the countdown into your calendar or notes app.

## What you'll get

Theme options, a menu with quantities, a grouped shopping list, a day-of schedule and a 4-week countdown checklist.
