Wedding · every month

Your wedding in euros — and what to put aside each month

Guest count, menu, venue, music, dress, rings. You see the total and dated monthly deposits, and an Excel file with a timeline and guest list.

  1. Put aside this month’s deposit: the table gives every date until the wedding.
  2. Replace the examples with your quotes as they come in.
  3. Follow the timeline and confirm the guest count a month before.

Your amounts: the examples are not average prices. Equal deposits each month from today to the month before the wedding, rounded to the euro; the last one is adjusted. Not financial advice.
