How to use
- Enter your total wedding budget and the number of guests.
- Adjust any category percentage if your priorities are different, then normalize to 100%.
- Read each category amount and the cost per guest; rows flagged as over share need a second look.
Note: Percentages are typical industry splits — venue 40, catering 25, photography 10, dress 6, decor 7, music 4, invitations 2, misc 6. Your saved plan stays on this device only. This is an estimate.
Tips
- Keep a 5 to 10% contingency for surprise costs — weddings almost always have some.
- The per-guest cost is the fastest way to trim the budget: every extra guest adds cost.
- Book the venue first; it locks in the date everything else depends on.
