Wedding Budget Planner Kit – Wedding Budget Calculator for Google Sheets & Excel + 27-Page Planning Guide PDF

Plan your wedding budget with confidence: a printable Wedding Budget Guide plus an easy-to-edit Wedding Budget Calculator for Google Sheets and Excel. Set your number, split it across categories, add or remove line items, and log every deposit — the calculator shows what's paid, what's still due and whether you're on budget.

WHAT'S IN THE KIT

• Wedding Budget Guide (PDF, 27 pages, printable): setting your number, the guest-count math, a starting category split, hidden costs checklist, vendor contract and payment-schedule questions, 25 ways to save, a 12-month payment timeline, tipping notes, AI prompts, and 10 fill-in worksheets.

• Wedding Budget Calculator (Google Sheets copy link + Excel .xlsx).

• Download guide PDF with your Google Sheets link.

THE CALCULATOR

• Dashboard: total budget, projected cost, paid so far, still to pay, under/over budget, cost per guest, amount due in the next 30 days and days to the wedding, plus a budget-vs-projected chart by category.

• Settings: total budget, wedding date, guest count and 13 editable categories with a suggested % split (rename them to suit your wedding).

• Budget: up to 120 line items. Add an item by typing in the next empty row; remove one by clearing it. Estimate first, then the real quote once you book. Paid, balance due and status (Estimate / Booked / Deposit paid / Paid / Overdue) are calculated for you.

• Payments: a 300-row log with an item dropdown and a "paid by" column for family contributions.
