How to create a wedding budget with The Firefly Method

We?ve also created a two part worksheet for you to go along with these instructions, where we?ve laid out a checklist that you can fill in online (no printing necessary!) and an excel sheet all set up with formulas that we use, ourselves (this sheet should work with the Numbers program on your Mac, as well). You can download those HERE.
