Budget

Here's how it works:

If you know the total amount you want to spend, and/or the number of guests, type those in the boxes below, then continue through the budget, putting your estimated $ amounts in the boxes. You can fill as many or as few boxes as you like.

Your Total Amount Allocated, and Amount Remaining can be found at the bottom of the page.

When you are finished, click on "Save Budget", and you will get a page with your budget figures, which you can print out and use to record actual expenses.

Remember, Tab moves you forward one box; Shift-Tab moves you backward (or click the mouse in the box you want).
