Sample data for a fictional couple
Wedding money gets messy fast.
Advances on WhatsApp, balances in a notebook, three versions of the guest list. Here is what changes when everything lives in one sheet.
We set a budget, but nobody notices when a cost goes past its planned amount.
Every cost shows planned cap, forecast and variance. Anything over its cap is highlighted.
Photographer, caterer, decor, mandapam: who got how much advance, and what is still left?
Each instalment has a due date, amount paid and outstanding balance. Overdue ones are flagged.
Bride side, groom side, who replied, who is coming to which function?
One RSVP sheet with side, invitation status and attendance for Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception.
The date is close and nobody knows which tasks are done or who owns them.
22 starter tasks with owners and priority. Due dates fill in from your wedding date.
One person has the details on WhatsApp, another in a notebook. Nobody has the latest.
One Google Sheet that you share with both families. Everyone sees the same numbers.
Screenshots from the actual file
Every number below is worked out by the planner’s own formulas, using fictional sample data for a couple called Karthik and Meena.

Set your reserve, see your headroom
The planner sets aside a contingency reserve and shows how much room is left. Try it with your own numbers.
Same maths as the planner’s Dashboard: reserve = total × contingency %, spendable = total − reserve, headroom = spendable − forecast cost.
