Wedding planning gets messy fast. A budget in one app, the guest list in another, vendor quotes buried in your inbox. Petal & Vow puts all of it in one calm, beautiful spreadsheet, and the tabs talk to each other.
Add a guest once and they show up in your headcount, on the seating chart, in the meal totals and on the dashboard. Mark a vendor as booked and their quote lands in your budget and their phone number lands in your wedding day binder. You type it once. The planner does the rest.
Works in Excel and Google Sheets
Many wedding spreadsheets only work in Google Sheets. This one opens in Microsoft Excel (2016 or newer, Windows or Mac, and Microsoft 365) and in Google Sheets, so you and your partner can plan in whatever you already use.
