Plan the whole wedding in one calm spreadsheet
Everything a wedding needs, connected in one file. The guest list (400 invitation rows) drives RSVP and meal counts for the caterer and fills the seating tab with capacity warnings. Vendors track deposits, balances and due dates and feed the budget, which shows booked, paid and still to pay against your total. A 26-task checklist counts back from your date, and the dashboard shows days to go, upcoming payments and tasks.

FAQ
Why not a cheaper Google Sheets template?
The $7-$11.50 Gumroad templates are Google Sheets templates. Wedwren is $14, works in Excel or Google Sheets, and connects RSVPs to meal counts and tables, and vendor payments to the budget.
Why not a free wedding app?
Apps want an account and many show ads; this is a private file you own, with no subscription.
Can we share it with each other?
Yes: put it in Google Sheets and share it with your partner and planner (it's for your own wedding).
Are the budget percentages a rule?
No: they are a starting split you can change; costs vary a lot by place and season.
