The amounts in the template are examples, not what a wedding costs. Use quotes you have, or leave a fund blank until you do. See how to afford a wedding for ways to bring the total down.
Two people, three ways to share it
With $5,000 and $4,200 of monthly take-home and $1,472 a month to save (18 months), even is $736 each. By income is about $800 and $672, because the pays are 54% and 46% of the two together. In one pot, the saving comes out of your shared money first. See how to split bills by income.
Keeping it going
The button under the template carries each fund into Wonderful as a goal, with your date. Wonderful asks before it adds them. It runs in a browser with no iPhone or Android app, and after the free week or $1 first month there is no free plan: $14.99 a month or $99 a year for the household. The wedding budget apps page compares others.
Questions people ask
How do I make a wedding savings plan?
List each cost as its own fund (venue, food and drink, attire, rings, photos, honeymoon), add them up, subtract what you have, and divide by the months to the wedding. In the example, $26,500 with $3,000 saved by September 18, 2027 is the plan above.
How much should we save each month for a wedding?
It is the total divided by the months you have. $26,500 over 12 months is about $2,208; over 18 months, $1,472; over 24 months, $1,104. A later date or a smaller fund is the lever.
Should deposits go in the plan?
Yes, as part of the fund they belong to. A venue deposit due in six months means that fund needs part of its money by then. Enter what you have saved so far, and the plan counts only what is left.
How do two people split wedding savings?
Even: each puts in half. By income: each puts in the share your take-home is of the two together. One pot: it comes out of your shared money first. If family is paying part, enter only your own part. Enter both take-homes and the template shows all three.
Can I print it or put it in a spreadsheet?
Yes. Press Print, or press Copy as spreadsheet and paste it into Google Sheets or Excel. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
