Wedding to Household Bundle Google Sheets, Wedding Budget + Couples Budget, Newlywed Joint Finances, Guest List, Shared Savings Goals

Plan the wedding, then run the shared household.

The Wedding to Household Bundle is two Google Sheets templates that work together:
• Wedding Budget (in dark and light): your budget by category, vendors and costs, every deposit with its due date, who's paying, guests and RSVPs, gifts and thank-yous, and a dated checklist.
• Couples Paycheck Budget: two paychecks, one joint account. One fixed move-to-joint amount per payday for each of you, a fair split by income, settle-up, an 8-week joint account forecast, debt and savings goals.

How they fit: after the wedding, the Wedding Budget shows what is left. Add an Ours goal on the Couples Savings tab and put the leftover budget and any cash gifts in as Saved. From then on the Couples budget runs your shared bills, paydays and goals.

Bought separately, these cost $27.98 at their current sale prices ($14.99 Wedding Budget + $12.99 Couples Paycheck Budget). The bundle is $24.95, saving $3.03.

Example: the filled-in Wedding Budget Example is a sample couple, Nina & Theo, getting married Sat June 12, 2027. It is pinned to April 24, 2027, 49 days to go.

• One row per vendor or purchase: Idea, Quoted, Booked, Bought or Not doing
• Add the estimate now and the final price once you book
• Tick Per guest for food, bar and rentals so the price follows your guest count
• Anything over plan shows in red

PAYMENTS + WHO'S PAYING
• Every deposit, payment, final balance and tip gets its own row and due date
• Tick Paid when it is sent; late payments and the next 30 days show on the Dashboard
• Family and anyone chipping in: what they pledged, what came in, what is still to come
• Pick who pays for each vendor, and see if the costs assigned fit each pledge

GUESTS, GIFTS + CHECKLIST

GOOD TO KNOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Google Sheets templates. Require a free Google account.
• Built for Google Sheets, not Excel. You can download them as .xlsx, but some features may look or work differently.
• A gentle note: these are planning tools, not financial advice. The numbers are your own estimates and prices.
• They do not connect to your bank or any vendor; you type in your own numbers.
• Colors may look slightly different on different screens.
• Because this is a digital product, returns and exchanges aren't accepted. If anything isn't working, message me and I'll help.
