There are several pieces to the pie that someone may pay for, so you don’t have to include that in your total budget. For example, maybe your parents have given you money for your wedding, but they want to also pay for your dress and aren’t considering that as an item you need to include in your budget. Or maybe you have a relative who hasn’t given you money for your wedding but wants to pay for your cake.

Use Table 3-4 as a guide to help you set up an Excel file that will include all your wedding budget needs, how much each vendor costs, payments made, the date of those payments, the remaining balance due, and your total budget. The reason to do this in an electronic form is so that you can adjust the budget as needed based on your specific requirements.
