Budget

Introduction

Open Budget under Your money in the menu. Guests never see these pages.

Budget, expenses and by type

Budget is the snapshot: what you planned to spend, and the costs you've recorded. Total budget is a target, not a contract. An unset target shows Not set yet. Choose Add expense to record a real cost.

A new wedding does not start with budget rows at £0.

Expenses is the detailed list of deposits, invoices and payments.

1. Choose Add expense.
2. Fill in Who is this payment to?, What is this for?, Amount (£), Date and Supplier type.
3. Set Payment status to Planned, To pay or Paid.
4. Add Notes if you want, then save.

If the supplier isn't in the list yet, you can add them from the expense without leaving the page. Adding a cost against a supplier marks them as booked, so you don't have to do that twice.

By type is how the overall figure splits across venue, catering, photography and the rest. Change the planned amount for each type so it matches your wedding. The types are the same ones you use for suppliers.
