Every event. One budget.
Mehndi, sangeet, wedding, reception: give each event its own guest count. Sangeet food multiplies by sangeet guests, the reception by reception guests, and the total adds it all up.
What it does for multi-day weddings
An Events tab
Name up to four events with their own date and guest count: welcome dinner, mehndi, sangeet, after-party.
Per-event guest counts
Set an item to ‘Per guest · event 3’ and it prices for that event’s guests only.
Families pay for different events
Who pays on every line, so each side sees what they’re covering.
One pay plan for everything
Every deposit across every event, by month, with one set-aside figure.
Big families, big celebrations, and finally one place where all the numbers live.
Five steps. Most of it fills itself in.

- 1
Type your budget and guest count
Every line on the Budget tab gets a suggested amount from a typical wedding split. No quotes yet? You still have a full plan on day one.
You type: 2 numbers · It does: 50 budget lines priced
- 2
Add guests and RSVPs
Mark catering and drinks as “per guest” and they multiply by your live head-count. Three people say no and the total drops by itself. Tag a B-list to see what it costs before invitations go out.
You type: Yes / No · It does: head-count, catering, bar, total, B-list savings
- 3
Add deposits and due dates
As you book, add each deposit, second payment and balance. The Pay plan lists them by month, flags what’s due soon and tells you how much to set aside each month.
You type: amounts and dates · It does: a month-by-month pay plan and a set-aside figure
- 4
Type a table number
Give each guest a table on the guest list. The seating chart builds itself and shows who sits where, free seats and who still needs a seat.
You type: a number per guest · It does: the whole seating chart
- 5
Open the Dashboard
Budget vs planned, cost per guest, what’s due next, who hasn’t replied and who’s paying, plus plain-English notes: how far over budget you are, and the quickest ways to fix it.
You type: nothing · It does: your to-do list, in plain English

Questions
We have more than four events.
Use the spare ‘Your own item’ rows on Budget and pick the event they belong to. For a fifth event, give it its own lines and type the total.
Does it work for our traditions?
Yes. Events are just names and guest counts: mehndi, sangeet, haldi, nikah, walima, traditional and white wedding, rehearsal dinner. Name them your way.
Can the main day use our RSVP list?
Yes. The main day uses your live guest list; other events use the number you type.
Is this a Google Sheet or an Excel file?
Both are included. You get a Google Sheets version (it goes into your own Google Drive) and an Excel file for Excel on Windows or Mac. Plain formulas only: no macros, scripts or add-ons.
How long does it take to set up?
About 5 minutes to a first plan. Type your names, date, budget and guest count on the Start tab and every budget line gets a suggested amount. Add guests and real prices as you go.
