Party Budget Planner Using Java

For my project in IT209 Java Programming, I created the Party Budget Planner software. The software is implemented using Java as an applet. This software can be used by companies that provide services for planning and organizing parties. In this project, my fictitious software client is Party Experts Co., Inc.

A. MAIN PAGE

The first page that will display when using this program is the Main Page. From here, the user can select 4 menus:

• Add Party – this is used to add, setup and save a new Party.
• Edit Party – this is used to edit the details of the saved Parties.
• View Party – this is used to view the details of the Party.
• Settings – this is used to change the different party supplies and costs.

B. ADD PARTY PAGE

In this page, a custom party will be created by filling up this data:

• Party ID – this specifies the Party Identification.
• Party Date – this specifies the date of the new custom Party.
• Type of Party – this specifies the type of party.
• Location – this specifies the Party Location
• Number of Guests –this specifies the Number of Guests
• Budget Cost – this specifies the Budget Cost 

You can select 4 Packages for your budget:

• Economy Package – select this option to choose the lowest-priced Party supplies.
• Standard Package – select this option to choose the medium-priced Party supplies.
• Grand Package – select this option to choose the highest-priced Party supplies.
• Others – select this option to specify a specific budget amount. The selected Party supplies will depend on the specified budget amount.

When this party is added, the program will automatically select the party’s themes, entertainment and food menu based on the budget cost. It will also automatically calculate the party’s total cost.

C. EDIT PARTY PAGE

Once a custom party is created using the Add Party Page, the custom party’s Party Supplies such as the Food Menu and Entertainment Type are automatically selected by the program. The party can be customized further using the Edit Party Page.

In the Edit Party Page, you can click the tabbed pane to view the tabbed pages
