Wedding Budget Template For Google Sheets
Plan the whole wedding in one sheet — estimated, actual, and paid — so nothing (and no deposit) slips through the cracks.
- Who it’s for
- Couples planning a wedding who want one clear place to set a total budget, track every vendor, and stay on top of deposits and final payments.
- Problem it solves
- Wedding spending is a one-time project with dozens of vendors, deposits, and final payments spread across months — and most couples track it in their head or a half-finished note. This template gives every category an estimate, an actual, and a paid amount so you always know what's committed, what's left, and what's due next.
We’ll email you a copy and open the template in a new tab. No spam.
Key benefits
- Vendor categories for venue, catering, photography, attire, flowers, and more
- Estimated vs. actual vs. paid (deposit + balance) tracking in every row
- A running total against your overall wedding budget
- Deposit and final-payment due dates so nothing gets missed
- A guest-count view that shows how headcount moves catering and rentals
- Optional Avery bank sync so paid-vs-estimated stays current automatically
The Wedding Budget is Avery's project budget for couples planning a wedding. Unlike a monthly budget that repeats every month, this one tracks a single, finite project: you set a total, break it into vendor categories, and follow every estimate, actual price, and payment from engagement to the big day. The formulas, categories, and summary are already built — every cell is yours to change.
Who it's for
- Couples planning a wedding who want one shared place to set a budget and track every vendor.
- Anyone managing deposits and final payments across photographer, caterer, venue, and more.
- DIY planners who'd rather own a spreadsheet than learn another wedding app.
- Couples balancing contributions from both families who need every funding source in one total.
What's inside
A pre-built Google Sheet with everything wired up:
- Summary — total budget, total estimated, total paid, and what's still unassigned.
- Vendor categories — venue, catering, photography, attire, flowers, music, and more, ready to edit.
- Estimated / actual / paid — three columns per vendor so you always know what's committed and what's owed.
- Payment tracker — deposit and final-payment due dates so nothing slips.
- Guest-count view — see how headcount moves catering, rentals, and other per-head costs.
The honest part
A wedding budget only works if it reflects what you've actually paid. Most couples track deposits in their head and discover the gap when final invoices land. For wedding spending paid from a connected account, Avery can auto-import those transactions and categorize them into your vendor lines — so paid-vs-estimated stays current without you pasting in receipts. You see exactly what's committed, what's left in the budget, and which final payments are due next.
