FTC Disclosure

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to disclose commercial relationships that could influence content. We take this seriously. Here's how Wedding Calculators makes money and how that might affect what you read.

Affiliate relationships

Some links on our Site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Current affiliate relationships may include:

• Wedding planning platforms (The Knot, Zola, Minted, Joy)
• Registry platforms (Amazon Wedding Registry, Honeyfund, Traveler's Joy)
• Travel platforms (Expedia, Booking.com, Airbnb, World Nomads)
• Retail brands (Shutterfly, Minted, VistaPrint, BHLDN, Azazie)
• Financial products (select high-yield savings accounts and credit cards)

Affiliate commissions typically range from 1-8% of the purchase price.

Editorial independence

Our editorial choices — which products we recommend, how we evaluate vendors, what we say about industry pricing — are not influenced by affiliate commissions. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive mentions.

When we recommend a product or service, it's because we genuinely believe it's a good option. We regularly recommend products we earn nothing from, and we regularly warn readers away from products we could have profited from (wedding loans, overpriced "luxury" items, high-pressure vendor tactics).

Sponsored content

If any article or section is sponsored (paid for by a specific brand), it will be clearly labeled "Sponsored" or "Partnership." To date we have published zero sponsored content. Any future sponsored content will be labeled before publication.

Display advertising

We may show programmatic display ads (via Google AdSense or similar). Those ads are not selected or endorsed by us, and we don't control which specific advertisers appear.

Calculator outputs

Our calculator logic is based on publicly available industry pricing data, vendor averages, and widely-reported 2026 figures. Affiliate partners do not influence the calculator formulas or the default values we pre-fill.

No quid-pro-quo vendor reviews

When we mention specific vendors by name in editorial content, we do so because they are widely-recognized players in their category. We do not accept payment, free products, or other incentives in exchange for positive mentions.

Data sources

Pricing ranges, industry averages, and market statistics on our Site are drawn from:

• Publicly available vendor pricing (websites, social media, quotes we've received)
• Wedding industry reports from The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, The Wedding Report
• Conversations with vendors, planners, and couples in our network
• General market knowledge of the wedding industry as of 2026

We update data as the market shifts. If you spot outdated pricing, email corrections@weddingcalculators.co.

Questions

If you want to know whether a specific mention is affiliate-linked or sponsored, email editorial@weddingcalculators.co. We'll tell you.
