Categories: venue 40%, catering 25%, photo/video 10%, attire 7%, flowers 7%, music 6%, misc 5%; Per guest = budget/guests

How does this work?

This uses a typical US wedding breakdown: venue/catering dominate (~65% together), then photo, attire, flowers, music and misc. Percentages are starting points — adjust to priorities.

Per-guest cost is total divided by guests. More guests dilute fixed costs (venue, photo) but raise variable (catering, favors).
