Budget and expenses

How do I build my budget?

You set how much you have in total and OPHIRA splits it across categories — venue, catering, photography, music, decor and the rest — with a reference range from the Mexican market for each one. Inside every category you log real expenses and the payments you've already made.

Where do the reference ranges come from?

They're ranges from the Mexican wedding market, expressed as a suggested percentage of your total budget and based on industry sources. They're there to orient you as you split your budget: OPHIRA never flags an error for going outside a range.

How do I log deposits and payments?

Each expense can hold several payments, each with its date and amount. That lets you see three different numbers at any moment: how much you've committed, how much you've already paid, and how much is still outstanding.
