Wedding Budget Planner Spreadsheet

Keep every wedding cost in one place. Plan an estimate for each item and record the actual price when you book. Track what's paid and what's still due, so you always know how much of your budget is left.

★ WHAT YOU GET

• 1 spreadsheet (.xlsx) with 5 tabs: Start here, Summary, Setup, Budget, Contributions

• Budget tab with about 50 common items in 11 categories (venue, food & drink, attire, photo & video, music, flowers & décor, stationery, transport, guests & gifts, other events, admin & extras) plus 25 empty rows

• Columns for vendor, estimate, actual, paid so far, still to pay (automatic), due date, status (Estimate / Booked / Paid, automatic) and notes

• Due dates within 30 days are highlighted orange and overdue unpaid items red

• Summary: estimate vs actual vs paid per category, share of budget, contingency, left to allocate, still to pay, planned cost per guest and a pie chart

• Contributions tab: who is contributing, pledged vs received, and a warning if pledges are below the budget

★ COMPATIBILITY

Made for Google Sheets (free Google account; upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets), Microsoft Excel 2010 or later, and LibreOffice Calc. Formulas were checked for Google Sheets and Excel compatibility (standard functions only, no macros, no add-ins) and tested in LibreOffice Calc. Unzip the download first (double-click on most computers). Best used on a computer or tablet. Enter dates as real dates (e.g. 3/15/2027 or 15/03/2027).

★ GOOD TO KNOW

• The planner does not include 'average wedding costs'. Prices vary too much by country and region, so you enter your own.

• No currency symbol, so it works in any single currency.

• Share it with your partner in Google Sheets to plan together.

• Demo numbers are included; overwrite them.

• This is a planning tool, not financial advice.
