What you get
Everything you need to plan with clarity
The Planning Playbook
44 pages · PDF
The Wedding Planner
10 planning tabs · Excel + Google Sheets
Designed to work together.
The Playbook tells you what to decide. The Planner gives every decision, deadline and payment somewhere to live.
Planning isn't hard because you don't care enough.
It feels hard because dozens of decisions are open at the same time.
What matters now?
What can wait?
What are we forgetting?
What's inside
Two parts. One system.
Dashboard
Your entire wedding at a glance.
Open one tab and see where things stand — before you open anything else.
- 1 Days remainingCounts down to your wedding date.
- 2 Remaining budgetAfter everything committed, fees included.
- 3 Payments dueAnything due in the next 14 days.
- 4 Overdue tasksPulled straight from Next Steps.
- 5 RSVP statusAccepted, pending and completion rate.
Screenshots show example planning data.
Budget
Budget with the real numbers.
You can have paid $7,900 and already be committed to $26,800. The system keeps both visible.
- Estimated
- What you expected it to cost.
- Committed
- What you've agreed to pay, fees included.
- Paid
- What has left your account.
- Balance due
- Committed minus paid, with the date it's due.
Guest Center
Manage your guests one person at a time.
Not one row per household with "+2" in the corner. One row per person, so meals, allergies and seats never get lost.
- One row per person
- Household IDs
- RSVP
- Meal
- Dietary needs
- Table
- Follow-up
Vendor Center
Choose vendors without comparing apples to oranges.
Quote + fees & add-ons = total expected cost
