GoFundMe, but for weddings

Show what you made. Add your app to this idea.
A couple sets up a page for the wedding, and guests contribute to specific
things rather than handing over an envelope. The photographer, the flowers, a
night of the honeymoon. Everyone sees what's covered and what still isn't.
Wedding registries already exist and they are stuck in a world where couples
needed a toaster. Most people getting married now have a flat full of things
and would rather have help with the €18,000 the day actually costs. Asking for
money directly feels crass; asking someone to cover the cake does not.
The hard part is entirely social, not technical. There is a line between "help
us celebrate" and "pay for our party", and it moves by culture, family and
generation. The framing of every screen decides which side you land on.
Second: guests must be able to give without an account, in thirty seconds, from
a link in a WhatsApp group. The moment grandmother has to register, it fails.
And the fees are visible in a way they aren't elsewhere. Taking 5% of a wedding
gift feels different from taking 5% of a subscription — probably needs to be
the guest's choice to cover it, stated plainly.
- Pricing thoughts
- Free to set up, small percentage on contributions with an option for the guest to cover it. Charging the couple upfront kills it — nobody pays to ask for help.

Build goFundMe, but for weddings. Context: A couple sets up a page for the wedding, and guests contribute to specific things rather than handing over an envelope. The photographer, the flowers, a night of the honeymoon. Everyone sees what's covered and what still isn't.

And the fees are visible in a way they aren't elsewhere. Taking 5% of a wedding gift feels different from taking 5% of a subscription — probably needs to be the guest's choice to cover it, stated plainly. Requirements: - Ship the smallest version that delivers the core value above, nothing more. - Pick a stack you can deploy in a day, and state the choice before writing code. - Handle the empty state, the error state and the offline case explicitly. - Pricing to build toward: Free to set up, small percentage on contributions with an option for the guest to cover it. Charging the couple upfront kills it — nobody pays to ask for help. Start by listing the screens, then build them one at a time.
