Micro Wedding Budget Planner | Elopement & Small Wedding Budget Tracker | Vendor Payment Tracker
Most wedding budget templates assume a big traditional wedding — a long guest list, a dozen vendors, seating charts. If you're planning a micro wedding or elopement, none of that maps onto what you're actually paying for.This spreadsheet is built for a small, intentional wedding: track your budget by category, see your vendor deposits and balances in one place, and know exactly what's due and when — without wading through features you don't need.WHAT'S INSIDEDASHBOARDEnter your guest count and an "as of" date, and the rest of the workbook does the work. See total budget, total spent, remaining, and percent used at a glance — plus vendor totals (quoted, deposits paid, balance due) and a live count of overdue and upcoming payments. A bar chart shows spend by category against budget.CATEGORY BREAKDOWN11 categories sized for a small wedding: Venue, Catering, Attire, Photography/Videography, Officiant, Flowers/Decor, Invitations/Stationery, Hair and Makeup, Transport, Gifts/Favours, Miscellaneous. Catering, Invitations/Stationery, and Gifts/Favours use a per-head rate — change your guest count on the Dashboard and those budgeted costs recalculate automatically. Every line has a notes column.VENDOR PAYMENT TRACKEROne row per vendor: quoted price, deposit paid, balance due, due date, payment status, and notes.PAYMENT SCHEDULEEvery deposit and final payment in one list, with an automatic Overdue / Upcoming flag driven by the "as of" date on the Dashboard — not today's date — so the flags stay consistent no matter when you open the file.INTRO TABPlain-English instructions and a clear note on what this tool does and doesn't cover.WHAT YOU GET1 x .xlsx file — works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets (File > Import)Five tabs: Intro, Dashboard, Category Breakdown, Vendor Payment Tracker, Payment ScheduleNo macros, no add-ins, no subscriptions — formula-only, works offlineInstant download after purchaseREQUIREMENTSMicrosoft Excel 2016 or later, or Google Sheets (import via File > Import)LibreOffice Calc is broadly compatibleWHAT THIS ISN'TThis is a budget tracker, not a full wedding planner.
