1. Who's sharing the costs?
Add everyone chipping in. A budget cap is optional — set one and the split warns when that person goes over.
2. What are you paying for?
"Split between" divides one bill among the people you pick. "Each pays own" charges the amount to every selected person — dresses, flights, hair.

How to split wedding costs with a group
-
Add everyone sharing the costs
List each person in the group — the couple, the wedding party, or the trip group. Give anyone a personal budget cap if they have a limit they can spend.
-
List every expense
Add each cost and choose how it splits: "split between" divides one bill (like the Airbnb) among the people you select, "each pays own" charges the amount (like a dress) to every selected person individually.
-
Pick who is in on each cost
Toggle people on or off per expense — for example, exclude the bride from bachelorette costs, or exclude anyone skipping the trip.
-
Review, export, and share
Check each person’s total against their budget, then download the split as a CSV, print it, copy a text summary, or send the group one link that opens the exact same numbers.
How groups usually split wedding costs
Most wedding groups end up with a mix of three arrangements. Shared costs split evenly — accommodation, group dinners, decorations — divided among the people who actually benefit from them. Personal costs paid individually — dress, shoes, flights, hair and makeup — where each person covers their own, because the amounts genuinely differ per person. And covered costs — most commonly the bride's share of the bachelorette, quietly absorbed by the rest of the group.
The fights almost never start with the split itself — they start with a split nobody agreed to in writing. A spreadsheet sent after the flights are booked feels like an invoice; the same numbers agreed before anything is booked feel like a plan. Whatever your group decides, decide it first, write it down, and give everyone a real chance to say "that's more than I can spend" while the plan can still change.
Frequently asked questions
Add the people sharing the costs, add each expense, and mark it either "split between" (one bill divided among the people you pick) or "each pays own" (everyone selected pays that amount themselves). The calculator shows each person’s total, compares it to their personal budget if they set one, and flags anyone over budget.
In the US, bridesmaids most often cover their own dress and alterations, shoes, hair and makeup, and travel, plus a share of group costs like the bachelorette trip, the bridal shower, and a group gift. Conventions vary by region and by couple — the point of agreeing on a written split early is that nobody is surprised later.
The most common convention is that the wedding party splits the bachelorette costs and covers the bride’s share, so the bride pays little or nothing. That is a default, not a rule — for expensive destination trips many groups agree the bride covers her own travel. Use the per-expense toggles to model whichever agreement your group makes.
Set a personal budget cap for each person, then watch the "remaining" column as you add expenses. If someone goes negative, the group can trim shared costs, move an activity to an optional tier that only some people join, or let others voluntarily cover more. An even split is only fair when everyone can actually afford it.
Most groups mix both: genuinely shared costs (accommodation, dinners, decorations) are split evenly among the people who benefit, while personal costs (dress, flights, hair and makeup) are paid individually. That is exactly why each expense here has a "split between" and an "each pays own" mode.
Mark travel as "each pays own" (flights vary per person), split the lodging and group activities among the people actually attending, and exclude anyone who skips the trip from those costs. Agreeing the total per person before booking anything is the single best way to avoid the fallout destination weddings are famous for.
Talk about it before money is spent, not after. Common fixes: cut the shared plan down to what the whole group can afford, make the expensive parts optional so only those who opt in pay, or let the bride or other members quietly cover the gap. The written per-person breakdown makes that conversation concrete instead of awkward.

Both. Your split saves automatically in your browser, so you can come back to it. "Copy share link" packs the whole split into a link — send it to the group chat and everyone opens the same people, expenses, and totals. You can also download a CSV for a spreadsheet or print a clean summary.
No. Everything runs in your browser — names and amounts are never uploaded to a server. Saved splits live in your own browser storage, and a share link carries the data inside the link itself, readable only by people you send it to.
Budget sorted? Don't lose the photos.
Your guests will take 300–600 photos at the wedding — and without a plan, they stay scattered across everyone's phones. Wedding Arrivals collects them all with one QR code: guests scan and upload from the browser, no app, no account, and you keep every original.
