Actual – What you actually end up spending on the item.
Difference – The difference between the budget and actual number.
Supplier – Where you’re getting the item (if applicable).
Contact – Who your point of contact is at the supplier; for example, you may be using a catering company (the supplier) but you call and speak with Gina (their sales rep).
Deposit – The amount of money you need to put down to secure the item.
Deposit Due – When that deposit must be paid by; alternatively, you could use this column on the wedding budget template to represent the date you actually paid the deposit.
