Indian Wedding Budget & Vendor Negotiation Kit

Indian weddings rarely blow their budget over one big mistake. They blow it over forty small ones: a decorator quote nobody pushed back on, a caterer's final bill that quietly grew past the estimate, an advance paid with no record of what's still owed.

This kit tracks every vendor with two numbers side by side, what they first quoted and what you actually negotiated, so the savings from every hard conversation stay visible instead of forgotten. Advance paid, balance due, and payment date are tracked per vendor automatically, split across Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, the wedding ceremony, and the reception, because a north Indian wedding is five events sharing one budget.

A summary tab rolls it all up: total committed, total saved through negotiation, what's left of your budget, and where the money is actually going, by function and by category. Works in Excel and Google Sheets. No app, no login, no subscription.
