Wedding budget calculator
Split a total budget into realistic category ranges and add a contingency before quotes arrive.
Use these calculators to check budget pressure, guest count impact, RSVP timing and table count before you commit to vendors or send invitations.
Split a total budget into realistic category ranges and add a contingency before quotes arrive.
Check whether the guest list is pushing catering, drinks and table costs beyond the plan.
Pick a reply deadline that gives enough time for final numbers, seating and supplier updates.
Estimate round, rectangular or mixed table counts from guest numbers and head table needs.
Estimate drinks for the reception before overbuying.
Plan non alcoholic and alcoholic quantities by guest count and reception length.
Start with budget and guest count. Those two inputs influence almost everything else: venue capacity, catering spend, drinks, table layouts, invitation quantities and supplier scope.
