Live budget watchdog
Real-time category overrun alerts at 10% / 20% / 30% — with reallocation suggestions.
Most weddings drift over budget because the spreadsheet stops getting updated by week 4. WeddingAI rolls up your line items by category every night and flags drift at 10% (warning), 20% (urgent), and 30% (critical). It also detects when multiple categories are bleeding simultaneously — the early signal that overall budget is at risk.

- ✓Per-category roll-up updated continuously; status badges visible at a glance
- ✓Alerts at 10% (warning), 20% (urgent), 30% (critical) thresholds

Under the hood
How it works
Daily category rollup
Sums planned vs actual vs paid for each line item, grouped by category. Status auto-set per line.
Threshold alerts
When category overrun crosses 10%, raises a warning. 20% becomes urgent. 30% becomes critical.
Reallocation guidance
Identifies under-spent categories with headroom and suggests moving budget — you decide whether to act.
In your dashboard
What you'll see
Budget page shows per-category cards with planned/actual/paid bars. Each over-budget category has a coloured status pill, the % over plan, and a 'reduce options' menu.
