Your Ultimate Free Wedding Budget Template

Where to Start?

So, you’re engaged and now people are asking so many questions! When is the wedding? What is the venue? What does your dress look like?

First take a moment to breathe and soak up the moment.

But next you’ll need to sit down with your partner and make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to your wedding planning timeline and your wedding budget.

Why do I Need a Wedding Budget?

Ensuring you’re aligned on the details of your wedding expenses and having using a comprehensive planner to keep things on track is key to making sure your special day unfolds beautifully, while keeping your finances on track for a stress-free celebration.

Some important questions to begin discussing might include things such as: How much are each of you comfortable spending on this (huge) day? What are the most important aspects for you both and where would you like to focus your spending? Will you have financial help from any family members? Or will you and your partner be footing the bill? Do you have money in reserve for any unforeseen expenses?

Once you’ve established the main factors in your wedding planning, it’s time to get stuck into the nitty gritty aspects with a wedding checklist that also doubles as your budget spreadsheet – enter our free wedding planner!

How to Use Your Wedding Planning Budget Template

Firstly, download our Wedding Budget Template from the button below.

Open the spreadsheet in Excel or transfer over to Google Sheets.

Begin by simply entering a figure for your total wedding budget (how much you want to spend) in the Total Budget cell with red font at the top of the spreadsheet.

Next work your way down the list of wedding items, adding an Estimated Cost figure for each.

Once you’ve obtained quotes and selected your vendors you can fill in the Actual Cost column and our template will automatically calculate the difference between the Estimated Cost and Actual Cost.

Then when you’ve paid for each item, fill in the Amount Paid column and the Outstanding column and summary boxes at the top of the spreadsheet will auto tally.

Best of luck with your wedding budget planning!
