For Weddings & bachelorette/bachelor trips

Twelve people, four countries, one venue deposit, zero spreadsheets.

Make It Even tracks who paid for what across an entire event — rehearsal dinner, hotel blocks, activities, the lot — so settlement happens once, after the fun is over.

The usual headaches

  • The maid of honor fronts the Airbnb deposit and spends the entire bachelorette weekend tracking who owes what instead of celebrating
  • International guests mean euros, pounds, and dollars all landing in the same ledger and none of the math adds up
  • Itemized bills at group dinners turn into ten-minute debates over who ordered the bottle of wine
  • Post-event settlement drags on for weeks because nobody agrees on the final number

How Make It Even helps

Itemized splitting for restaurant and vendor bills (Pro)

Break a bill into individual line items — flowers, catering deposit, rehearsal dinner — and assign each item to the people who actually owe it. Shared items split evenly; personal charges go to the right person.

Multiple payers per expense

When three bridesmaids split the florist deposit three ways at the counter, log all three as payers on one expense. The ledger reflects reality, not a simplified version of it.

14 currencies with locked daily FX rates

Log the Paris dinner in euros, the London hotel in pounds, and the US vendor deposit in dollars. Each entry locks the exchange rate for that day, so balances don't shift if currencies move between the event and settlement.

AI receipt scanning to capture costs on the spot (Pro)

Photograph the restaurant bill or vendor receipt at the moment of payment. Make It Even reads the total, date, and description so you can close out the bill and get back to the party.

Public trip summary for the whole wedding party

Share a read-only link with every attendee. Anyone can check the running total and their own balance at any point without needing an account.

Debt simplification across many participants

After a weekend with 15 people and 40 expenses, Make It Even calculates the minimum set of transfers to clear everyone's balance — instead of 15 people transferring to each other in every direction.

Get going in three steps

  1. 1

    Create a group before the first expense lands

    Set up the group as soon as the first deposit is due — hotel block, venue, or travel. Add all attendees so every cost has a home from day one.

  2. 2

    Log costs as they happen, in any currency

    Add each expense in its native currency at the moment of payment. Use itemized splitting for complex bills; equal splits for shared flat costs like the group activity.

  3. 3

    Settle once, cleanly, after the event

    Run debt simplification to get the shortest list of transfers, send payment links to the people who owe, and close out the group when everyone is settled.

Questions

What if the venue deposit was paid by one person but the final balance was split among three?
Log these as two separate expenses with different payers and splits. Make It Even consolidates everything into a single balance per person across all entries.
Can guests who aren't splitting costs still see the trip summary?
Yes. The public summary link is viewable without an account, so you can share it with the whole wedding party for transparency even if not everyone is splitting every expense.
How does multi-currency work when people want to settle in their home currency?
Each expense locks the FX rate at entry time. The final balance per person is shown in the group's home currency using those locked rates, so the settlement amount is fixed and agreed on.
Is itemized splitting available on the free plan?
Itemized splitting is a Pro feature ($3.99/month or $29.99/year). Equal, exact, percentage, and shares splits are all available on the free plan.
What if the wedding involves separate events — bachelorette trip, rehearsal dinner, day-of costs?
Create a separate group for each event if the guest lists and payers differ, or one combined group if the same people are tracking everything together.
Can I export all expenses for the wedding planner or for personal records?
Pro users can export the full ledger as a CSV, which includes every expense with date, amount, currency, payer, and split detail.
