FAQ

Excel or Google Sheets?

Both. It's a single .xlsx that opens in Excel (Windows or Mac), and the formulas carry over when you open it in Google Sheets.

Do I need any special software?

No. A free Google account is enough to use Google Sheets.

Is it an instant download?

Yes, you can download it right after checkout.

Can my partner edit it with me?

Yes. After you save it as a Google Sheet, share your copy with anyone helping you plan.

What's the difference between this and the Wedding Kit?

This listing is just the planner. The Classic Wedding Kit ($18.99) adds 7 sign templates in 3 sizes and a 3-page checklist, all with Canva template links. Open the link and click Use template to save your own copy in your free Canva account.

Can I add my own budget categories?

Yes. The category names are a starter list, so rename them or add more (up to 50 rows on Budget).

Is it printable?

You can print any tab, but it works best on screen, where the totals update as you type.
