Students take on the role of a party planner. Students choose the type of party they would like to have, as well as how many people they would like to invite. They need to make sure there is enough food and drinks for every guest at the party. They create a plan for shopping, set-up of the party, and the entertainment. They need to recognize that a "fancier" party will cost more and they will need to adjust their number of guests to stay on budget.
