One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for item, budget, actual, deposit and paid
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Couples planning their own wedding, parents contributing to a wedding who want to see the numbers, and wedding planners who want a simple client budget sheet.

How to use it

Getting the most from a wedding budget.

  1. Agree the total first

    Decide the total budget with your partner and anyone contributing before you book anything. Write it at the top of the page.

  2. Fill the budget column before you get quotes

    Split the total across your list of items. Then, when quotes come in, you'll know straight away whether they fit.

  3. Track deposits separately

    Deposits are often non-refundable and due early. The deposit column shows how much is already committed.

  4. Leave a buffer

    Keep around 5 to 10 percent unallocated for things nobody thinks of: alterations, tips, extra postage, last-minute guests.

  5. Note final payment dates

    Write due dates next to each item, or on the day-of timeline, so final balances don't all land in the last week.

Questions

About this wedding budget template

Need help importing it? See devices and apps or the FAQ.

What should a wedding budget include?

Venue, catering, drinks, attire, rings, photography, video, flowers, music, cake, stationery, transport, hair and makeup, favours, gifts, the honeymoon and a buffer. Write each as a row.

How many items fit on the page?

Around 25 rows on the printable versions. Use two pages for large weddings.

Does it use a currency?

No currency is printed, so it works anywhere.

What else is in the wedding planner?

A wedding checklist, this budget, a guest list, vendor contacts and a day-of timeline, plus dated monthly and weekly pages up to the big day.

What's a typical wedding budget split?

Venue and catering usually take the largest share, often around half. Photography, attire, flowers and music come next. Your own priorities should decide the rest.

Should we track gifts and contributions?

Yes. Add rows for family contributions as negative costs, or keep a separate list, so you know the true total you're paying.
