Frequently asked questions
Does this calculate how much I have left to spend?
Yes. Enter your total budget and every vendor cost, and the remaining-balance total updates automatically as you add each expense.
Can I change the budget categories?
Yes. The category list and per-category limits are editable, so you can match the categories to how your wedding is actually organized.
Does it work in Google Sheets and Excel?
Yes. The file opens directly in Google Sheets and in Excel 2016 or newer, including Excel for Mac.
Is this a bundle with guest list and vendor tools?
No, this is the budget spreadsheet on its own. The Wedding Planning Bundle includes this plus vendor comparison, guest/RSVP and payment tracking.
