Are you planning your wedding? Keep on top of your budget and spending by downloading and using this free wedding budget spreadsheet in Excel.When it comes to budgeting there are monthly budgets and then there are one-off budgets for big life events.

Big life events that need their own budgets include a vacation, a home remodel, and yes – a wedding.

Weddings aren’t cheap. The average wedding in 2015 cost $32,641 according to TheKnot.com. Not cheap!

Whenever you are spending thousands of dollars on something – and in the case of a wedding, potentially tens of thousands of dollars – it makes sense to create a budget and track your spending.

The best way to budget and track your progress is using a spreadsheet application such as Excel.

Since I enjoy creating spreadsheets, I took it upon myself to create a wedding budget spreadsheet that you can utilize to set a wedding budget and track your spending throughout the process.

There are no shortage of weddings each year and they keep getting more and more expensive, so there’s good reason to choose where you want to spend your money and where you are willing to cut costs.

Having a wedding budget spreadsheet where you set your budget and continually update with spending will help you to stay on top of your finances and, hopefully, stay under budget.

 

Ultimate Wedding Budget Spreadsheet in Excel

The wedding budget spreadsheet I created covers all the bases. It has a few major categories including:

  • Apparel
  • Rings
  • Stationary
  • Photo & Video
  • Bachelor and Bachelorette Party
  • Flowers
  • Rehearsal Dinner
  • Ceremony
  • Gifts & Favors
  • Reception
  • Honeymoon
  • Miscellaneous

There are two tabs for the wedding budget spreadsheet. A summary tab and a detailed tab. The detailed tab feeds the summary tab.

I think the summary tab is useful as the detail tab can be a bit overwhelming to look at it if you are just looking for a “snapshot” of where you are at from a spending perspective.

Here’s what the summary tab looks like:

Wedding Budget Spreadsheet Summary

Within each category there are more detailed line items, including “catch all” buckets for anything not covered by the line items. Here’s an example of the “Reception” section:
