Planning · $9 · Excel & Google Sheets
Our wedding planning spreadsheet keeps the whole plan in one file. A dashboard counts the days, the budget, the replies and the next payment, with tabs for details, budget, guests, vendors, to-dos and notes.
What you get
The planner workbook is one spreadsheet for Excel and Google Sheets with eight tabs, from a dashboard to notes. You get a blank file and a filled example, each set up for Letter and for A4. Printable pages for US Letter and A4 come with it, plus JPGs and a start guide.
White cells are typed in, sand cells calculate and pale blue cards summarize. Every sheet has a title block, a frozen header row, filter buttons and drop-down lists. Overdue items are marked. Every state is also written in words, so the sheet reads in black and white.
