Plan a Wedding by the Numbers: Budget Split, Guest List, Seating & Vendor Payments

Keep a wedding on budget from the first quote to the last vendor payment – budget shares and over-budget flags, RSVP counts, tiered catering prices, a vendor scoring matrix, deposit and balance due dates, seating, a savings plan and a one-page dashboard – 8 hands-on labs for one fictional couple, with every cell checked as you go.

What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Turn Nora and Jonah's total budget into planned amounts per category, compare them with the quotes they already have and flag every category that is over budget.
  • Count confirmed adults, children and plus-ones with COUNTIFS and turn the open replies into a realistic headcount for the caterer.
  • Look up the caterer's price tier for the confirmed number of adults, calculate the catering total and the cost per guest, and decide whether an open-bar package beats paying per drink.
  • Turn five photographer quotes into price scores, combine price, reviews and availability with weights, rank the candidates and pick the one to book.
  • Calculate every vendor's deposit, its due date ten working days after booking and the balance due date a set number of months before the wedding, then total what is still open.
  • Work out how many round tables the venue must set, how many seats stay empty, and check the draft seating plan table by table with COUNTIF.
  • Count the whole months until the wedding, work out how much is still missing and calculate the monthly saving – once simply divided and once with interest using PMT.
  • Summarise the payment log into committed spend per category, measure how many guests have replied, total the open payments and chart budget against commitments on one page.

About this course

Weddings involve dozens of vendors, deposits and guest counts that change every week. This course helps couples and planners keep it all in one clear set of sheets. You split the overall budget into categories with remaining amounts and over-budget flags, manage the guest list with RSVPs and plus-ones and calculate the catering headcount. Cost per guest uses tiered catering prices and compares a bar package with pay-per-drink. Vendors are chosen with a weighted scoring matrix, and a payment schedule tracks deposits and due dates. You work out how many tables are needed and where seats stay empty, plan monthly savings until the date and build a dashboard showing spend, RSVP progress and open payments.

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.
