    How the calculator works

    It splits your total into the categories most couples plan for, using typical shares, and shows the amount for each. It also works out your cost per guest. Every wedding is different, so treat it as a starting point and move money to what matters most to you.

    Ways to stretch your budget

    Trim the guest list, pick a Friday or Sunday date, choose in-season flowers, and ask vendors about packages. Decide your top three priorities together and spend there first.

    Track every payment

    FAQ

    Good to know.

    How should I split my wedding budget?

    A common guide: about 45% for venue and catering, 10–12% for photography and video, 8–10% for attire and beauty, 8–10% for flowers and decor, 6–8% for music, and the rest for rings, stationery, cake, transport and favors. Keep about 5% aside for surprises.

    How much does a wedding cost per guest?

    Divide your total by your guest count. Venue and catering grow with every guest, so trimming the guest list is the fastest way to lower your budget.

    What usually costs more than expected?

    Taxes and service fees, vendor tips, alterations, delivery and setup fees, and last-minute decor. A small buffer saves a lot of stress.

    When do I pay my vendors?

    Most vendors take a deposit when you book and the rest a few weeks before the wedding. Write down every due date so nothing sneaks up on you.
