How to Use Your Wedding Budget
Start with the total you can comfortably spend, then decide your top three priorities and move budget towards them. Your guest count affects almost every line, so the cost per guest is the most useful number to watch. Keep a buffer for surprises, and update the spent column every time you pay a deposit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I split my wedding budget?
A common split is around 45% for venue and catering, 12% for photography and video, 8% for attire and beauty, 8% for flowers and décor, 7% for music and entertainment, and the rest for stationery, rings, transport, cake, favours, a planner and a buffer.
How much buffer should a wedding budget have?
Keep 5–10% of your total aside for unexpected costs such as service charges, extra guests, alterations and last-minute purchases.
How do I lower the cost per guest?
The guest count drives venue, catering, drinks and stationery costs. Trimming the list, choosing a weekday or off-season date, and switching to digital invitations all reduce the cost per guest.
