Wedding Budget Planner Spreadsheet – Guest List, RSVP & Checklist
Plan your whole wedding in one calm, good-looking spreadsheet that does the math for you.
The Wedding Budget Planner keeps your money, vendors, guests and to-dos in one file. Set your total budget and the planner splits it across 14 categories (you can change the %). List your expenses with estimates and actual costs, and see budget vs actual for every category. Every vendor, deposit and due date is tracked, and the Dashboard pulls it all together: budget, paid, still to pay, a countdown, RSVPs, meal counts, vendors booked, upcoming payments and checklist progress, with 4 charts.
It works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets (free). Share it with your partner, family or planner. No macros, add-ins or subscriptions. Type in the cream cells and the grey cells calculate automatically (they're protected so nothing breaks).
