This post is sponsored by YNAB . You guys have heard about my love for You Need a Budget (YNAB). I first learned about the budgeting program in March 2016 and have been using it ever since . I cannot imagine life without it! So, naturally when it was time to budget for our wedding last fall , I figured out a way to make a separate wedding budget within my subscription.

You can use YNAB for any budget you can dream up, whether party planning, an addition on your house, or a big vacation. You can track literally anything that might have expenses beyond your normal household spending. As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts , you can sign up for a free 34-day trial before paying the monthly fee (less than $10 a month) to continue using the service. I promise, y
