Budget checklist-please help

Here is an example of all I have on our budget checklist ( to get an idea of how much to save)

Can you guys tell me if it looks like I missed anything??

I didnt add things we were not paying for ourselves which is basically just My dress, BM's dresses, groomsmen attire, RD,...

Thanks in advance!

I did the same exact thing. Being the picky person that I am, I also had subdivisions under all the headers. Im not sure if you are doing that too but here are a few things.

Under ceremony include decorations, programs, unity candles, and ceremony music.

Dont forget to make a budget for you wedding rings.

I would also make a budget for tips, because that's also a pretty good amount of money you have to set aside.

Dont forget your lingerie!!!

Theknot.com has a really good budget that is pretty specific in case you miss something.

cocoa- we are not paying for that stuff, I only put things we ourselves were paying for
Diva- Yes I have in my planner tons of subdivisions...lol , but for here I grouped it...
most of the stuff you added I have or am not paying for BUT the Tips was a good idea( I had it added into the prices) Think I will make it seperate....
