Your wedding budget has enough stress. Splitting it shouldn't add more.
Track vendor payments, family contributions, and bridal party expenses in one place. Everyone sees what's been paid and what's outstanding. No spreadsheets. No awkward conversations.
This is for you if...
- ✓Both families are contributing but nobody has a clear picture of the total
- ✓The bridal party is splitting costs for the bachelor/bachelorette trip and it's getting complicated
- ✓You've paid three vendors from two different accounts and lost track of what's been covered
- ✓You want financial transparency without turning wedding planning into an accounting project
Weddings are emotional enough. The money part should at least be simple.
Built for groups who share expenses
Are We Even helps people track shared costs without spreadsheets or awkward conversations — whether it's a wedding, a group trip, or everyday expenses.
No wedding planning suite. No vendor management.
Just expense tracking that's clear and fair.
Why wedding expenses get tangled
Multiple people paying for different things
The couple pays the caterer. Mom covers the flowers. Dad handles the venue deposit. Brother-in-law books the rehearsal dinner. Nobody has the full picture.
Family contributions come with assumptions
"We'll cover the reception" can mean different things to different people. Without tracking, misunderstandings are inevitable.
Bridal party costs snowball
The dress, the shoes, the shower, the bachelorette trip, the gifts. Each person is tracking their own spending, but nobody's tracking the group's.
The couple becomes the accounting department
On top of planning the wedding, someone has to reconcile who's paid what across families, vendors, and the wedding party.
One group for every wedding expense
Create a group for the wedding. Log every payment — vendor deposits, family contributions, party expenses. Everyone involved can see the balance. No chasing relatives for reimbursement. No guessing whether the florist has been paid. Just one clear record.
- All contributions and payments in one place
- Customizable splits per expense
- Clear history for every dollar spent
How it works
Create a wedding expense group
Add the couple, contributing family members, and the bridal party. Share a link — no app download needed.
Log every payment as it happens
Venue deposit, catering installment, dress alterations — anyone can add an expense.
Track contributions against costs
See how much each family has contributed and how much remains. No uncomfortable phone calls needed.
Settle remaining balances
When the wedding is over, the app shows exactly who owes what. Settle via Venmo, Zelle, or any digital wallet.
Everything organized in one place
See every vendor payment, family contribution, and party expense — with clear balances and a complete record for after the wedding.
Features
Contribution tracking
Log family contributions alongside expenses. See the net balance at a glance.
Multi-party splitting
Some expenses split between families. Others between the bridal party. Each expense gets its own split.
Complete expense history
Every payment recorded with date, amount, who paid, and what it covered. Useful during planning and after.
Privacy where it matters
Share the group link only with people who need visibility. Not everyone needs to see every number.
Common wedding expenses people track
Why wedding planning needs more than a spreadsheet
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Shared Google Sheet | quickly gets overwhelming and outdated |
| Text messages | contributions and payments get lost in threads |
| Wedding planning apps | track vendors, not who's actually paying |
| Memory | "I thought your parents were covering that" |
| Are We Even | every payment tracked, every contribution clear |
This isn't a wedding planning app — and that's the point
You already have tools for guest lists, seating charts, and vendor contacts. What you don't have is a simple way to track who's paying for what. Are We Even fills that gap. Nothing more, nothing less.
