The Wedding Planner: Budget, Guest List, Seating, Vendor & Checklist Spreadsheet + 24-Page Planning Notebook

Plan your whole wedding in one place, without a dozen apps and a drawer full of sticky notes. The Wedding Planner is a spreadsheet system that does the maths for you, plus a 24-page printable notebook full of honest advice on saving money and having the best day.

The spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers). Type in your names, date, budget and guest estimate, and everything else updates on its own:

• Dashboard: countdown, budget vs. committed and paid, guest numbers, overdue tasks and cost per guest
• Budget: a suggested split across 16 categories, with over/under warnings and room for every line item
• Guest List: one row per household: RSVPs, meal choices, dietary needs, table numbers, gifts and thank-you notes
• Seating: name your tables and it tells you when one is overfull
• Vendors and Payments: quotes, bookings, deposits and due dates. Overdue payments turn red
• Checklist: 57 tasks with due dates worked out from your wedding date
• Day-Of Timeline: change one time and the rest of the day moves with it
• Tips & Envelopes: who to tip, typical amounts and who's handing each one over

You get a blank version and a filled-in example so you can see exactly how it works.
