Wedding Budget Planner Spreadsheet, Google Sheets & Excel, Wedding Budget Tracker, Vendor Payment Schedule, Guest List and RSVP Tracker

A wedding budget spreadsheet that keeps the money side of your wedding in one place: the budget, every vendor and deposit, each payment's due date and your guest list. Type in your budget, vendors and guests, and the payment schedule and dashboard work themselves out.
Made for engaged couples who want to see what is booked, what is paid, what is still owed and what is due next, without juggling notes, emails and banking apps.

WHAT'S INSIDE (7 tabs)
- Start Here: three steps, one color rule (yellow cells are where you type) and quick answers
- Setup: your names, wedding date, currency, guest count estimate, total budget, and who is contributing (pledged, received, still to come)
- Budget: 15 categories with a typical-% guide to start from (venue, catering, attire, photo and video, flowers, music, ceremony, rings, stationery, hair and beauty, transport, cake, favors, honeymoon, contingency), room for 20; planned vs quoted vs actual vs paid vs still owed for each
- Vendors: up to 50 vendors with contact, status, quote, final cost, deposit, an optional 2nd payment and the balance, each with a due date and a paid tick; flags for due soon, overdue and paid in full
- Payment Schedule: every payment of every booked vendor sorted by due date, with paid, still to pay, overdue and next-30-days totals
- Guest List: up to 300 guests with side, group, invite, RSVP, meal, plus-one, table, gift and thank-you sent; counts for meals, sides and seats per table
- Dashboard: countdown to the day, total budget, committed, paid, left, due in the next 30 days, cost per guest, guests attending, the next 6 payments and 3 charts

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set up in 5 minutes: names, wedding date, currency, guest estimate and total budget.
2. Plan the budget: start from the typical-% guide and change any category to your own amount.
3. Book, pay and invite: add vendors and guests as you go. The payment schedule and dashboard update by themselves.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
- Deposits and balances in one view: the balance is worked out from the final cost, so you always know what is still owed and when.
- Compare quotes without double counting: only vendors marked Booked count toward the budget and the payment schedule.
- Cost per guest that follows your RSVPs: it uses your estimate until replies come in, then the real number attending.
- Contributions tracked: see whether what family has pledged covers the total budget, and what has actually come in.
- Works the same everywhere: every formula was tested in LibreOffice with a full sample wedding, and uses only functions that Excel and Google Sheets share. No macros.

FILE FORMAT
You receive one ZIP file containing:
- Wedding_Budget_Planner.xlsx (Excel 2010 or later, Excel for Mac, LibreOffice)
- Quick_Start_Guide.pdf (6 pages)
Google Sheets: upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, double-click it and choose Open with Google Sheets, then File > Save as Google Sheets. Formulas and dropdowns carry over; Google redraws the charts, so they may look slightly different. Share your copy with your partner so you both see the same numbers. The guide has the steps.
Use any currency: type your symbol on Setup.
Apple Numbers can open the file but is not supported.

Digital download, nothing is shipped. The sample names and figures in the photos are invented.

Because this is a digital file, returns and exchanges aren't accepted. If something isn't working, message me and I'll help put it right.

The typical percentages are a common starting split, not advice; every wedding is different, so change them freely.
