Template for Wedding Planner
Wedding budget template
A wedding budget template gives you the categories already laid out, so you can set a total, split it, and track what you really spend against it. Wedding Planner flags when a category goes over and keeps deposits and due dates in view.
What it is
A budget broken into the usual wedding categories, where you set an estimate for each and record actual spend, so your running total stays honest.
When to use it
- Right at the start, to set a total you can live with
- Every time you book something and pay a deposit
- Whenever you want to see where the money is actually going

Common questions
What categories should a wedding budget have?
Venue and catering (usually the biggest), then photography, attire, flowers, music, cake, stationery, rings and a buffer. The template sets these up for you.
How big a buffer should we leave?
Around ten percent. It covers the late extras, tips, alterations and overtime that tend to appear near the end.
