Imagine...
You’re trying to choose between 20 shades of white for your dress, your mind is basically a playlist on shuffle—between guests, the cake, and the eternal question: “Is an extra €500 for a photographer really worth it?” All while your budget is giving you worried side-eyes... Don’t panic—this article offers a few tips to help you take the bull by the horns (and the flowers, and the menus) so you can handle wedding planning with a little more peace of mind.
At the end of the article, check out an episode of the Dans la Confidence podcast, where good ideas, little hiccups, and bursts of laughter come together to show that it is possible to have the wedding of your dreams—without losing your mind or your money.
Wedding registry or online money pot?
A traditional wedding registry is more restrictive than an online money pot. Guests don’t have the freedom to choose their gift, as the selection is predetermined by the couple.
An online money pot, on the other hand, lets guests contribute to the project of their choice (honeymoon, planning costs, etc.) while offering a lot more flexibility.
Plus, unlike a registry, there’s no frustration if a gift has already been taken—guests can always contribute again, and the money can be used however you like.
Finally, it’s much easier to manage: there’s no need to withdraw cash in advance, and if someone forgets to contribute before the big day, they can still do so after the wedding.
More freedom
Guests also have more freedom when it comes to the amount they contribute. If they’re unsure how much to give, you can suggest an amount in the money pot description, making the decision easier.Convenient
Leetchi also offers a QR code feature—so guests don’t even have to move! You can place a QR code on the tables or use it instead of the traditional gift box.Share, share, share!
You can share your money pot across all social networks:
- On the Instagram account created just for your wedding (a growing trend!)
- On a Facebook support group for future brides and grooms
- In a WhatsApp group with your family and friends
We know that 63% of wedding money pot contributors made their contribution via mobile phone in 2024.
Highlight the purpose of your money pot
When you invite loved ones to contribute or when you send reminders, keep these tips in mind:
-Always emphasize the goal behind the pot, not the money you need: “If you’d like to help us go on our honeymoon/start our life together…”
- Remind them that the money pot is more flexible than a gift list: with the pot, guests are truly free to give any amount they choose.
