Honeymoon Planner Spreadsheet

Honeymoon planner spreadsheet for the two of you: a day-by-day itinerary made from your dates, a honeymoon budget with planned vs spent by category, an expense log that converts local currency to your home currency, a bookings list that flags deadlines, a packing list for two and a dashboard with a countdown to your first day.

WHAT IT DOES

• Setup tab: trip name, first and last day, number of travellers (set to 2), home currency, total budget (your savings plus any honeymoon fund or cash gifts) and every drop-down list (budget categories, booking types, packing categories, your names), all yours to rename
• Itinerary tab: one row per day, made from your dates (up to 30 days), with the date and weekday filled in. Add the place, your plans, where you stay, booking references and notes. During the honeymoon today's row is highlighted and each day shows what you spent that day
• Budget tab: planned vs spent for each category (transport, hotels, dining, experiences, shopping and other to start), remaining, percent used, unpaid bookings and cost per person. The status shows Over budget, or Will go over when unpaid bookings would take a category past its plan. Plus whole-trip totals: budget left to plan, remaining, projected trip cost and budget per day
• Expenses tab: date, category, description, the currency and amount you paid, the exchange rate and the amount in your home currency (worked out for you), and who paid. Totals by category and by person
• Bookings tab: flights, hotels, transfers, trains and tours with provider, details, confirmation code, date and time, cost, paid yes or no and a deadline (free cancellation or pay by). Days left are counted, deadlines within 7 days are flagged Due soon (change the 7 on the Setup tab) and unpaid bookings are highlighted
• Packing list tab: item, category, for whom, quantity and a Y/N packed column. Packed rows turn green, with the packed count and percent overall and by category. The blank file starts with 35 honeymoon items (swimwear, dinner outfits, documents and more) you can change or delete
• Dashboard: days to go, trip status, total budget, spent so far, remaining, budget used, bookings still to pay, projected trip cost, spent per person, budget per day, the next 3 deadlines, packing progress, and planned vs spent by category with a chart
• Room for 300 expenses, 40 bookings and 150 packing items. The tabs are protected without a password, so formulas don't get typed over by accident (you can unprotect them any time)

WHAT YOU GET

• Honeymoon-Planner-Spreadsheet.xlsx (blank, with a starter honeymoon packing list)
• Honeymoon-Planner-Spreadsheet-with-Sample-Data.xlsx (a filled-in example: a made-up 10-day honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast and in Rome, with 8 bookings, 9 expenses and a 35-item packing list)
• Quick-start guide (PDF)

HOW YOU GET IT

Digital download. After checkout you get a download page right away, plus a receipt by email. Nothing is shipped.

COMPATIBILITY

• Microsoft Excel 2016 or newer (Windows or Mac) and Excel for the web
• Google Sheets: upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, open it, then File > Save as Google Sheets
• Needs a computer or tablet with a spreadsheet app. This is not an app or a printable planner. It does not book anything, connect to any travel site or look up exchange rates: you type your bookings, amounts and rates

GOOD FOR

Newly engaged and just-married couples planning their honeymoon or minimoon, and a thoughtful wedding or newlywed gift (it is an instant digital file, so you can send it on the day).

PLEASE NOTE

• This planner is built on our Travel Planner spreadsheet, with honeymoon wording, a honeymoon packing list and a honeymoon sample. The tabs and formulas are the same, so if you already have our Travel Planner you don't need this one too
• Days to go and the deadline flags use today's date unless you type a date on the Setup tab, so they change from day to day
• For your own personal use; please don't resell or share the files

DISCLAIMER

This template is a planning tool and does not replace advice from a qualified or licensed professional (such as a travel agent). Check the results, and the dates, deadlines and terms of every real booking, before you rely on them.

HOW IT WAS MADE

Designed by VARS Digital with AI-assisted tools. Every formula is checked before release, and the sample file shows each tab working.
