What your wedding costs — and how much to save each month until the day
Guests, meal, venue, dress, photographer, music, koláčky. You see the total and a dated monthly instalment, and an Excel file with a timeline, guest list and register office fees.
Get a reminder on each instalment day?
The calendar file works without an account. E-mail reminders need a free account.- Put aside this month’s instalment: the table shows every date until the wedding.
- Replace the examples with your quotes as they come in.
- Agree the date with the register office and ask which documents you need; confirm the guest count a month before.
Your amounts: the examples are not average prices. Equal monthly instalments from today to the month before the wedding, rounded to whole koruna; the last one is adjusted. Register office fees: Act No. 634/2004 Coll., item 12. Not financial advice.
