Color-Code Your Planning Spreadsheet for Visual Organization

Use color coding to make your wedding spreadsheet more scannable and actionable: Budget - green for under budget items, yellow for at budget, red for over budget; Timeline - gray for completed tasks, yellow for in progress, white for upcoming, red for overdue; Vendor status - green for booked and paid, yellow for pending, red for issues/follow-up needed; RSVP tracking - green for accepted, red for declined, yellow for pending. Use conditional formatting in spreadsheet programs to automatically apply colors based on values (e.g., dates in the past turn green, approaching dates turn yellow). This visual system helps you quickly identify what needs attention during a quick glance at your planning dashboard.
