How to Use the Wedding Budget Planner
Enter your total wedding budget, and allocate it across categories (venue, catering, photography, attire, and others) using the built-in percentage guideline as a starting point, adjusting individual categories based on personal priorities — the planner tracks allocated versus actual spending as planning progresses.
The Wedding Budget Planner splits a total budget across categories and tracks spending — here's how to set it up.
Entering total budget and initial allocation
Enter the total wedding budget, then allocate it across categories — starting from the built-in percentage guideline and adjusting based on personal priorities (as covered in the priority-based guide) gives a starting allocation genuinely tailored to the specific couple.
Tracking actual spending against the plan
As covered in the budget-overrun guide, periodically updating actual spending against the planned allocation throughout the planning process (rather than only checking at the end) helps catch and address overruns in one category by adjusting elsewhere while there's still time.
