Léa and Thomas have made up their minds: no traditional wedding registry. They would rather have a group fund for their honeymoon in Japan. A friend sends them a Leetchi link. When the time comes to withdraw the €2,100 collected, the platform takes its cut — €60.90. Two fewer hotel nights. A romantic dinner gone. Without even being told clearly.
The wedding group fund has become the modern wedding gift par excellence. It replaces the lists of household appliances nobody really wants to buy, and it answers a genuine wish among young couples: to fund an experience rather than pile up objects. But such a good idea deserves a platform that doesn't help itself to part of the gift. Filomy was built on that very principle: the wedding group fund must be completely free, with no exceptions.
For a birthday at €200, 2.9% comes to €5.80 — annoying but bearable. For a wedding group fund, the maths changes completely. Weddings often gather 80 to 150 guests. Even if only half of them chip in to the honeymoon fund, the totals quickly reach €1,000 to €3,000.
At €1,500, Leetchi takes €43.50. At €2,000, €58. At €2,500, €72.50. These are not token fees — they're the equivalent of an extra activity while you're there, a fine-dining meal, or half a flight. On Filomy, every one of those euros stays 100% in the group fund, ready on the day of the final transfer.
A wedding brings together very different generations. The couple's friends send their contribution via Wero in 30 seconds from their phone. Parents and in-laws prefer a classic bank transfer from their online banking. Grandma hands over an envelope of cash on the day. The godfather slips a cheque into the card.
Filomy accepts all of these payment methods in one and the same group fund: Wero, bank transfer, Lydia, cash, cheque. The organiser — often the best man or someone close to the couple — manually confirms each payment received. The dashboard shows in real time who contributed, how much, and through which channel. No more keeping a separate Excel sheet or chasing every guest by text.
What turns the Filomy group fund into an exceptional gift is its integration with a digital memory space dedicated to the wedding. By creating the group fund, you simultaneously create a space where every guest can drop off a photo, a video or a message for the newlyweds.
The result: Léa and Thomas don't just receive money for their trip. They receive a collective album — the smiles from the cocktail hour, the best man's heartfelt wishes, the blurry but touching photo of the first dance. This space stays accessible for life, long after they get back from Japan.
For the organiser, it saves a considerable amount of time: a single link to share in the guests' group chat, a single page that brings together the collection and the memories. Guests don't need to create an account to contribute or leave a message.

Create the group fund →How much money do you lose on a Leetchi group fund for a €1,500 wedding?
Leetchi takes 2.9%. On €1,500 collected, that's €43.50 gone before the transfer even happens. On Filomy, that €43.50 stays in your group fund.
Can you use the Filomy group fund as a wedding registry?
Yes. You can build your group fund around a goal (a honeymoon, a hotel night, an activity) and guests give whatever amount they wish. No product list to manage — just an open or goal-based collection.
Is the memory space still available after the wedding?
Yes. The Filomy memory space is permanent. Your guests can keep adding photos and messages after the ceremony, and you can access it for life from your account.
