Wedding Budget 101


Debra McClinton

It’s easy to lose track of what you’re spending when the cash is flowing out fast and furiously. But this worksheet can make money matters much easier to manage. It’s got every detail covered, complete with columns to list your budgeted amount, your vendor’s estimate, and what you actually spent.

This list also provides suggested percentages to help you allot your money wisely. (For example, your reception expenditures should total about 50% of your overall budget; music and photographs, about 10% each.)
