What Wedding Budget Calculator does and how it behaves
Enter a total wedding budget and guest count, and this tool divides the amount across line items such as venue, catering, photography, and flowers, then recalculates a per-guest cost as you adjust any category or the guest list. It's meant for the planning stage, before contracts are signed, so you can see roughly where the money goes and how sensitive the total is to guest count. What people get wrong most often: cutting the guest list shrinks catering and rentals but rarely touches venue minimums or photography packages, so the per-guest savings from trimming a list are usually smaller than expected.
