Your full wedding planning spreadsheet in one paste.

What it does

Most wedding planning spreadsheets are either generic templates with 80% blank fields or all-in-one apps that cost $20/month and lock your data behind a login. This wedding planning spreadsheet builder takes what you actually know — your wedding date, your budget, your guest count, your venue status — and produces a complete, personalized five-sheet planner in one pass: a timeline with concrete calendar dates (not 'six months out'), a line-item budget with sub-items couples actually forget, a vendor tracker with contact and contract fields, an RSVP tracker with running headcount and meal-count formulas, and a seating chart helper with table capacity math. It thinks like a veteran wedding coordinator who has watched 300+ weddings go right and wrong. The bundled budget-percentages-and-gotchas reference covers allocations by total budget tier and the 15 most commonly forgotten line items (cake cutting fee at $2-8 per guest, corkage at $10-25 per bottle, the 22% catering service charge that is NOT the actual tip, invitation postage at $1.30 per piece because invitations exceed 1 oz, dress alterations not included in the boutique price). The vendor-booking-timeline reference gives city-calibrated lead times — top photographers booking 18 months out in NYC/SF/LA/Chicago, florists at 8-12 months for designers with a strong aesthetic — plus the deposit norms and the red-flag contract clauses to push back on. The floral-seasonality-and-regional-notes reference flags when peonies (gone by mid-June), dahlias (peak September), or cherry blossom (literally one to two weeks in spring) won't be available locally on your date, and what to substitute when they aren't. The rsvp-seating-formulas-guide reference covers the running headcount block (COUNTIF for attending/declining/awaiting, meal-choice tallies, dietary flag detection), seating chart logic (never seat the divorced parents adjacent, never assign a table next to the bar, mobility-impaired guests near the entrance), and the FILTER and SORT formulas to generate alphabetical escort cards directly from the RSVP sheet. The sample-complete-budget reference ships a worked $28,000 / 100-guest budget you can pattern-match against. Three outputs every time: print-ready HTML artifact, CSV blocks per sheet, and a Google Sheets formula reference for paste-into-Sheets — with formula syntax noted as US locale (comma separators) and an instruction to swap commas for semicolons if your Sheets uses European locale.
