About the Wedding Budget Planner

Plan every cost, track every payment, and always know exactly where your wedding budget stands. The Wedding Budget Planner brings your entire wedding — budget, guest list, and vendor payments — into one beautifully organized workbook that recalculates itself as your plans come together.

Budget by Category, Down to the Detail

Set your total wedding budget at the top, then list every item across all the categories that matter — venue, catering, photography and video, attire, flowers and decor, music, invitations, transportation, rings, beauty, favors, and more. Track estimated cost, actual cost, deposit paid, and balance due for each item, with a built-in 10% contingency line so surprises never derail you.

Guest List with Automatic RSVP Roll-Ups

Add each guest with their side, invited status, RSVP status, meal choice, plus-one, and table number. Those entries roll straight up into your dashboard as live counts — invited, confirmed, declined, and pending — so your head count for catering and seating is always accurate and up to date.

Never Miss a Vendor Payment

The Payment Tracker logs every vendor, total cost, amount paid, balance remaining, due date, payment method, and status. No more scrambling to remember which deposits are down and which balances are coming due — it is all in one place.

A Dashboard That Does the Math

Your dashboard shows total budget vs. estimated vs. actual spend, remaining budget, guest count summary, and a spend-by-category chart — all automatic. Update an actual cost or an RSVP and the whole workbook recalculates instantly, so you always know if you are on track or need to adjust.

From the first venue deposit to the final balance, this planner keeps your big day organized, transparent, and on budget.

How It Works

1

Set your Total Wedding Budget at the top of the Budget Categories tab, then list every item with estimated and actual costs.

2

Add each guest on the Guest List tab — RSVP status and meal choice roll up into the dashboard automatically.

3

Log deposits and balances due for every vendor on the Payment Tracker so nothing is missed.

4

Watch the Dashboard update in real time with total budget vs. actual spend, remaining balance, and guest counts.

5

Update actual costs as you book vendors and pay deposits — the whole workbook recalculates instantly.
