How much · When
What it costs, and when it is due.
Type your total budget once and sixteen categories fill in. Guest counts, deposits paid, balance due, days until each payment, tasks completed and percent of budget allocated all update themselves after that.

Why it lines up with the guide
One order, three products
The guide's chapters, the planner's Budget tab and the annex's sixteen categories share a single order. A decision you read about in a chapter has a line in the workbook and a list of people to call — you are never translating between three different systems at eleven at night.
Suggested percentages, not prescribed ones. The Budget tab opens with a split that works for most weddings and lets you override every line. A workbook that argues with you about what a photographer should cost in your city is a workbook you stop opening.
