Budgeter Overview/Help Screen
We have designed the Budgeter to provide estimated budgets for 33 categories. These
numbers are arrived at by using a formula that assigns a percentage of the
overall budget to each category. The percentages are derived from years of data
collected from brides. When you enter the budget amount in your Wedding Data,
the budgeter then uses your amount and calculates the budget for each category.
The budget of the
average wedding in the Oklahoma City area for 2024 is $30,000. There are many
higher and there are many lower. If you want to know the truth, there probably
wasnt a single one that that hit that number on the head. You may start your
budget planning by entering what you think your budget will be.
Complete? Select Yes or No depending on whether or not you have finished paying for the item. You may also choose Yes if you are not going to use the item at all. ie No Site Fee since you are using your church? Select Yes
If you enter an amount in the Budget Amount field this value will be used in the Budget Report, if you leave it blank the Western PA Area Average Expenditure will be assumed to be the amount you want to budget for the item.
