Filling party favor gift bags for every guest? This calculator figures out exactly how many total items to buy and what the whole batch will cost.
Total Items = Guests x Items Per Bag
Total Cost = Total Items x Cost Per Item
Example
15 guests, 4 items per bag, $2.50 per item:
Total Items = 60 → Total Cost = $150.00 ($10.00 per bag)
Planning Tip
Buying items in bulk multiples that match your guest count is typically the most cost-effective approach compared to piecing together mismatched individual items - and preparing 1-2 spare bags beyond your exact guest count is a smart buffer for last-minute additional guests or for replacing anything damaged before the party starts.
