Wedding Planning Bundle

Three planning jobs live in a single workbook here, which lets the guest list drive the budget. Setup has a Guest count comes from choice: Typed number, Confirmed, or Confirmed plus no reply. Choose either of the last two and each per-head, per-table and per-invitation cost follows your RSVPs, with one invitation per household. Twelve tabs cover Budget Summary, Budget, Guest Count Compare, Guests, Counts, Seating, No Reply, Checklist, Due Soon and Progress. These are tabs, not separate files. The Checklist dates 90 tasks from your wedding day. An 11-page print PDF of that checklist is added in Letter and A4. The Example file shows a made-up wedding and the Blank file has starter lists.

Compatibility and file formats

An .xlsx workbook with ordinary formulas. No macros and no add-ins. A script recalculated it in LibreOffice 26.8 and compared the results with a separate Python calculation. Another script confirmed it uses no LAMBDA, LET, XLOOKUP or spill formulas. A script also opened this file in Microsoft Excel for Mac 16.114.3 and ran a full recalculation: every cell matched the values stored in the file, with no error cells. That test did not type new data into Excel or look at the screen. Excel for Windows and Google Sheets have not been tried. The PDFs are US Letter and A4. A script confirmed the fonts are embedded and the page links work, and that the ink stays at least 0.4 inches from the page edge. They have not been printed on a real printer yet.

Questions

How is this different from buying the three singly?

It is one workbook. The guest list's count can feed the budget, which the separate files can't do.

Which guest count should I use?

That is your call. Typed number suits early planning. Confirmed plus no reply shows the most you may pay for. Confirmed suits the final count.

This file adds up what you type. Prices in the Example are made up and are not a guide to real costs. The dates are a starting point. This is a planning list, not legal advice, and it gives no financial advice. License: for your personal use only. No resale or sharing of this file. AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the task lists and the code that builds these files. Scripts tested every part of the workbook, on 8 sets of test data, including the count coming from Typed number, Confirmed and Confirmed plus no reply, one more guest saying yes, and an empty guest list with vendor minimums still applying. A script also tested that the tasks are in both PDFs under the heading matching their timing, and that the PDFs are the same files as in the checklist listing. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
