Enter the wedding date and when you started, and the workbook works out what each remaining month needs to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost wedding budget templates begin once the money is already in the bank.

Eight months in, the fund is slightly behind the line, and the monthly figure needed has been raised to match.
