Budget, guest list, RSVPs and what is due when — in one file, not five.

Wedding budgets do not go wrong at the big numbers. They go wrong in the forty small ones nobody wrote down, and in the deposits that were paid but never deducted.

What is in it

  • Every cost with estimate, quote, deposit paid and balance due
  • Guest list with RSVPs, dietary needs and table numbers
  • Payment schedule so nothing is due before you knew about it
  • Budget against actual at a glance
  • Filled example plus a blank copy

Who it is for

Anyone planning a wedding without a planner.

How it works

Microsoft Excel 2016 or newer on Windows or Mac, and Google Sheets — upload the file and open it with Sheets, every formula works. LibreOffice too. No macros, no add-ons, no account to create and nothing to install.

The download is instant. Every workbook ships twice: one with a worked example already filled in so you can see what each column expects, and the same file completely blank for your own numbers. A plain-English Start Here guide comes with it as a PDF.

Buy it on Etsy — $9

Sold through my Etsy shop, ThePlainLedger, so the download, the payment and the buyer protection are all handled by Etsy. I never ask for access to anything — no password, no manager invite, no app permissions. You download a file; that is the whole transaction.
