How do I access the spreadsheet after purchase? You'll get a digital download with a link to copy the spreadsheet into your own Google Drive, plus instructions to get started.
What programs can I use this spreadsheet with? It's built for Google Sheets, which is free with any Google account. It works on desktop, and in the Google Sheets app on your phone or tablet.
Is there an Excel version? Not yet. The spreadsheet uses Google Sheets features that don't carry over to Excel, so it's currently available for Google Sheets only. An Excel version may be available in the future.
How is this different from the Wedding Planning Spreadsheet? The Wedding Planning Spreadsheet covers all of your planning, and budget is one part of it. The Wedding Budget Spreadsheet goes much deeper on money: every event gets its own tab, plus group splits, contributions, tips and payment tracking. Many couples use both.
Does it only cover the wedding day? No. It covers every event from the engagement party to the honeymoon, and everything rolls up into one total so you see the full cost of getting married.
How does the bachelor/ette group split work? Log each expense and who paid for it, and the spreadsheet calculates what each attendee owes or is owed. It also handles outside contributions and whether the guest of honor's share is covered, in full or in part.
Can I track money from family? Yes. The Contributions tab records gifts from parents and family so you can see exactly how much you have to work with.
Can I customize the spreadsheet for my specific needs? Yes! Rename categories, edit dropdown options and add your own line items. Cells with formulas are marked so you know what to leave alone.
Can I share it with my partner or family? Yes! Share it through Google Sheets' built-in sharing options so everyone works from the same numbers.
Is this easy to use? Definitely. Every tab has short instructions, and a filled-in sample version shows exactly how it works before you add your own numbers.
Will this work on my phone or tablet? Yes, in the Google Sheets app. Entering numbers on the go is easy, though setup is easiest on a computer.
Can I print it out? It's designed for digital use, but you can print individual tabs if you'd like a paper copy.
What if I need help using the spreadsheet? The instructions tab has everything you need to get started. If you run into any issues, reach out to us at hello@the-dailee.com.
