Wedding Blog
I consider myself little over the top when it comes to my organizational skills, so when the wedding kicked in… I went ballistic. Every person that sees me and my famous white wedding binder says I am extremely ahead of my game when it comes to my wedding planning, but then again I started planning almost 2 years before my official wedding date.
I wanted to share with my wedding planner budget (in excel form) with all of you. It’s a detailed compilation of everything you can think of for the whole planning process. (In hopes I have not forgotten anything)
Here are my sections:
In hopes this will help you to better manage your budget! Happy Planning!
Flamingo Wedding Budget - Excel

Thank you SO much for this. This is exactly what I need.
Oh, the beauty of a well-organized spreadsheet! This is also exactly what I need right now - well, I really should have started using something like this months ago, but I’ve never gotten as organized as I need to be about budgeting! Many thanks. Also, I love to see the word “bonbonnieres” in an Excel sheet. 
you are such a life saver!!!! Thank you for sharing!! I would never be able to get it to look so beautiful!
Thank you I am SO stealing this!! I’ve been meaning to update my quick estimating spreadsheet for weeks now and make it functional. The work is done =)
This was SO thoughtful and sweet of you to share with all of us! I’m definately going to put it to use. Thank you very much for sharing this!
You rock!!!! I have something similar but not as organized as this:)
Oh my God. You just made my month. This just became my favorite bee post ever!
Im glad you all like the budget. Obviously you can make modifications… but everthing thing should be there (including the equations)
Keep me posted if this template works for you!
THANK YOU!!!
i just downloaded it and it so much more colorful than my generic plain spreadsheet. i still ahd the percentages in mine…and i liek that feature so i may throw up that column for references purposes. otherwise, its perfect.
Thanks again!
sorry for all those typos. i submitted prematurely. LOL! so xcited about my spreadsheet, i guess.
your spreadsheet is fantastic. thanks so much for sharing!
You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing!!! I’ve been looking for something easy to use - not too overwhelming and this is exactly IT. I tried the budget tool on the knot but hated all the unnecessary columns they had.
Do you happen to also have a guest list tracker you wouldn’t mind sharing? I wanted to track the guest list in excel somehow but wasn’t sure what format or how I can put the info in so I can use excel to make address labels, print envelopes for Thanks You cards, etc.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Ms. Flamingo this is fabulous! I only dream of being as organized as you! =) Thank you for sharing your budget, I love it.
i don’t know if the info on the spreadsheet is your actual info or not. if not, this may be of no consequence. just in case it is i thought i’d point out that the total number of boutonnieres says 5 but the breakdown of people adds up to 6. don’t want anyone to be missing a boutonniere on your big day!
Cora let me look in my things to see if i have a guest list in excel.
haha … thanks bean. I forgot to delete thoses details in the flower section. I will look at mine to see if it works out.
Thanks!
This is AMAZING!!! I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate this. I agree with one of the above comments that this is my favorite bee post EVER!!! If you have any more great spreadsheets, PLEEEEAAASE send them along. Thanks again!
Wunderbar! I don’t know who’s more amped up about this, me or my FI!
Wow! Very generous of you to share, thanks!
I just started my wedding planning and this has been indispensable in getting an idea of how much I am looking to spend. And then after I start spending money it will be amazing for tracking where everything is going. Thanks so much!
Hurray! I love Excel, thanks sooooo much for sharing.
[...] I was afraid adding up all the totals, but honestly… it’s not as bad as I thought. It’s approximately $5500 over our initial budget. I must say that being prepared and having every little detail in a budget Excel sheet made it so much easier to see how much I spent when planning our wedding. For those interested, you can download my budget form here. [...]
