Your
Overall Wedding Budget
Maximum
Personal Funds Available
Start
by leaving this field blank and entering expenses for your ideal
wedding below. The resulting negative number in the "Wedding Budget
Totals" will tell you how much your ideal wedding would cost.
You can then adjust your budget and expenses accordingly. If you
already know exactly what you can spend, simply enter that
number here and add your expenses below.
Additional
Funds Available
Additional funds,
gift monies, and expenses that will be paid for by others. For example,
if your parents will be paying for your flowers, enter that amount
here. This will help you determine your own out-of-pocket
cost.

Overall Wedding Expenses
This worksheet
is designed to accommodate all types of weddings; therefore,
you may not have expenses for every category below. Additionally,
you may not be the person to incur the expense for some
items below, for example the "Wedding Shower," but we've listed
them to help you account for related expenses that you might
otherwise overlook, in this case, additional thank you notes
when ordering your invitations!
