How to Use Your Wedding Budget Planner

1. Set Your Total Budget: Enter the total amount you plan to spend on your wedding in the first field.
2. Create Your Plan: Click the “Create My Budget Plan” button. The tool will generate a detailed breakdown based on typical wedding expenses.
3. Adjust and Customize: The “Allocated Amount” for each category is editable. Change the values to match your personal priorities and vendor quotes.
4. Track Your Spending: As you adjust the numbers, watch the “Allocated” and “Remaining” totals at the top update in real-time. This helps you stay on track and not go over budget.

Tips for a Successful Wedding Budget

• Prioritize: Decide with your partner what the 2-3 most important aspects of the wedding are for you (e.g., food, photography, entertainment) and allocate more funds there.
• Get Quotes: Always get quotes from multiple vendors before booking.
• Buffer Fund: The “Miscellaneous” category acts as a buffer. It’s smart to set aside 5-10% of your total budget for unexpected costs.
• Read Contracts Carefully: Before signing, understand what is included and what might be an extra charge.
