The term wedding budget is what nightmares are made of. While choosing a dress, picking your shoes and planning your dream honeymoon is all fun and games, sitting down and getting realistic on where to spend your hard-earned cash is not. Staying on top of your wedding budget and keeping track of all your expenses can be extremely stressful and is the least fun part of planning a wedding.
To keep you on track with your wedding budget, we’ve narrowed down six apps to help you keep track of all your spending and help you stick to your wedding budget.
WeMoney pulls your accounts into one place and sorts your transactions automatically, so you can see what the wedding is actually costing you without logging a single expense by hand. You can set monthly budgets, keep an eye on bills and subscriptions, and track progress against savings goals. The basic plan is free.
The ultimate app for planning your wedding day, this handy app tracks your budget, allows you to create to-do lists, categorizes different vendors, notifies you of important tasks or key dates and allows you to email tasks to yourself or to your bride squad.
The app has a spending summary tab so you are able to track how much you’ve been spending and allows you to see how much money you have left. It also has a payment tracking tab to keep you organized and ensure that you pay your bills on time.
Most importantly, it has a wedding day countdown to keep you excited till your wedding day arrives.
This app lets you plan everything from six months before your wedding to the day of your wedding. It allows you to note down important details and appointments, guest lists, vendors and wedding gift registry. The budget tracking tab lets you see how much you’ve been spending through a pie chart.
Get serious about wedding budget planning with this budget tracking app. You can include your income and make a list of all incoming wedding expenses. There’s a feature that allows you to mark bills as “paid” to keep you organized and this app also features a calculator to help you manage your wedding budget.
Goodbudget runs on the envelope method: you decide up front how much goes to the venue, the dress, the flowers and everything else, then spend from those envelopes until they run empty. The free plan syncs across two devices, which makes it one of the easier options when you and your partner both want to be looking at the same numbers.
If other people are helping pay or contribute some money for your wedding, you need to download the app splitwise. This app splits all expenses evenly and notifies the other person/s to pay their bills. It’s a great app to keep track of your spending and also allows you to avoid awkwardly asking a relative or friend to pay you back.
Every app above handles the money and nothing else, which means your budget ends up in one place and your guest list, timeline and vendor details end up somewhere else. The Budget Tracker in the Wedded Wonderland Planning Suite sits beside the rest of them. Set spending limits, log vendor payments and track deposits category by category, then move straight into your guest list or timeline without opening another app. It comes as part of the eleven-tool suite.
