A wedding budget by category — estimated, actual, paid — with what's still to pay, over or under, and the honest budget left. Pro adds vendors with quotes, contracts, deposits and balance-due flags that feed the actuals, and a timeline whose dates follow the wedding date. No macros.
Thirteen categories plus room for yours: estimated, actual, paid; still to pay, vs estimate (green under, red over), share bars. Days to go, estimated, actual so far, paid, still to pay, budget left, over budget by. Pro: actual and paid summed from Vendors.
Forty rows: category from the Budget list, contact, quote, contract ✓, deposit and paid date, balance-due date, paid to date. Balance, days to due, flag — No contract, Deposit due, Paid, Overdue, Due soon. Without a contract, balances due in 30 days, next payment.
Eighty tasks by weeks before the day; due dates follow the wedding date on Setup. Owner, done ✓; Overdue red, next two weeks yellow, done struck through; progress.
As-of date, wedding day, total budget, owners.
Ten formulas explained: the budget-left arithmetic, the vendor flag order, 'next payment' with a stand-in date inside MIN.
Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.
What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.
The home page and its CSS — enough to publish a one-pager. A credit link stays in the footer.
Every page, the Pro-only pages, the source files, no attribution, and 12 months of updates and email support.
Use it for unlimited personal and commercial purposes, including client work.
Do not resell the spreadsheet itself, alone or in a bundle.
Most wedding budgets look fine until the last three categories get booked. Budget left here is total budget − actuals − the estimates of everything not yet booked, so the number only improves when a real quote comes in under plan. vs estimate has the same rule: it shows nothing until there’s an actual, because an unbooked florist isn’t a saving.
Vendors is the money side per supplier — quote, contract, deposit, balance-due date, paid —
and the Budget’s actuals become SUMIFs over it, so you stop typing totals twice. The flag
checks things in the order they go wrong: no contract, deposit agreed but not paid, then the
balance-due date against today. Next payment finds the soonest future due date among
vendors still owed by giving every other row a stand-in date inside MIN, then looks up the
vendor — no array entry, works in Excel 2016 and Numbers.
Timeline is tasks by weeks before the day. Move the wedding date on Setup and every due date moves with it; done tasks strike through, overdue ones turn red.
The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares forty-six values — every total and the budget-left arithmetic in both files, each vendor’s balance and flag, balances due in 30 days, the next payment, and the timeline’s dates and statuses — against numbers computed outside Excel.
First release
One row per invitation: adults and kids, RSVP, meal, table, gift and thank-you. Invited, responded, coming, meals per choice and what's missing for each Yes are counted. Pro adds tables with free seats, a budget with cost per head, and a timeline of tasks with what's late. No macros.
A to-do list that knows what's late: task, category, priority, due date and a ✓ when done; status (Done, Overdue, Today, Soon, Open), days left and a progress bar are calculated. Pro adds a Focus sheet listing what's overdue and due this week, a Board with counts per category, person and priority, and a formulas walkthrough. No macros.
A task list with a Gantt chart drawn entirely by conditional formatting — no shapes, no macros. Start and end dates make the bar, Done % fills it, Blocked turns it red, a line marks this week. Pro adds a 26-week timeline, a Dashboard, Milestones and a formulas walkthrough.
