Wedding Budget Planner

Plan the wedding you want without losing track of a single dollar. Type in your total budget, wedding date and guest count, and the Wedding Budget Planner suggests a starting split across 14 common categories (venue, catering & bar, photography, attire, flowers, music and more). Change any percentage and your planned amounts update instantly. Log each vendor as you book them, and the dashboard shows what you've committed, what you've paid, what's left, your cost per guest and how many days are left until the wedding. WHAT'S INCLUDED • Dashboard: total budget, committed, paid so far, remaining, cost per guest and a countdown to your wedding day • Budget by category with a progress bar for each, red when a category goes over • Payments box: how many vendor balances are due in the next 30 days and how much, plus anything overdue • Vendors & payments log (100 rows): quoted price, deposit, other payments, balance due, due date and status dropdown.
