Wedding Budget Checklist
A budget only works if you act on it. This checklist covers the money side of your wedding — setting the total, allocating, booking within budget, and tracking every payment — ordered by how far out each task should happen.
0 of 15 tasks done
The tasks fall into five phases. Twelve months out you set the total and build your contingency. Six months out you book the venue, catering, and photography within budget. In the final months you lock decor, invitations, and settle every balance.
The category view groups the same tasks by where the money goes — venue, catering, photography, and the rest — so you can focus on one area at a time.
