Before choosing a kit

Digital files: Nothing is mailed. Printable pages are US Letter. The full system's PDF forms accept typing but do not calculate. Calculator totals are in the XLSX workbook. Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer is recommended for fillable pages.

Food estimates: Review guest mix, portion sizes, menu shares, event length and tray yields with your caterer. Cooked edible weight is not raw purchasing weight. Quantities are starting estimates, not guaranteed servings.

Software: Download the XLSX workbook and import a working copy into Google Sheets on a computer. A Google account and internet access are required. Key calculation scenarios were checked in Google Sheets. This is an XLSX download, not a pre-shared Sheets link. Microsoft Excel has not been independently verified.

Personal family-event use: Share completed plans with helpers and vendors. Blank files may not be redistributed or resold. These are organizational tools, not legal or estate-administration services.

Developed for In Loving Memory Catering with AI-assisted drafting and design, original worksheets and checked calculator logic.
