Ten themes, endlessly yours.
Each theme is designed like a keepsake, not a template. Pick one, add your photo and your story, and it already feels like your day.
The website
A wedding site that tells your story
Your names, your story, your day. Add every event from the kitchen tea to the reception, each with its own venue, time and meal choices. Password-protect it if you want it private, add both of you as owners, and count down to the day together.
- Story, events, gallery and wedding party
- Optional password gate and custom domain
- Countdown and partner account access
The guest list
RSVP without the spreadsheet
Guests are organised into households, and every household gets its own secure, personal RSVP link. They tap it, pick who is coming, choose meals, note allergies, request a song and add their plus-one. You watch the answers arrive live, with meal counts already totalled per event.
- Secure link per household, no accounts
- Custom RSVP questions and song requests
- Live tracking of who is coming
Sharing and the big day
Invitations, cards and the whole day, handled
Send theme-matched save-the-dates and invitations by email or straight to WhatsApp. Broadcast updates to exactly the right guests, let guests upload their own photos to a shared album, and hand your wedding party a printed run sheet on the day.
- Theme-matched cards and WhatsApp sharing
- Guest photo album and run sheet
- Download everything, any time
The gifts
A registry that respects your gifts, anywhere
Create cash funds for the honeymoon or itemise it into experiences guests can fund by the moment. Link out to any store for physical gifts, add a charity in lieu of gifts, and connect your own payment gateway. Link your own Stripe account and guests give in their own currency, wherever they are. In South Africa you can connect Paystack, Yoco, PayFast or iKhokha instead.
- Experience funds and charity registry
- Your own Stripe account for international currencies
- 0% platform fee, straight to your account

Where does the money go? Straight to you.
Most platforms collect your gifts, hold them, and take a percentage on the way through. We built Our Big Yes the other way around.
A guest gives a gift
They pick a fund on your wedding site and pay securely by card.
Your own payment gateway
The payment runs through your own gateway account, connected with your own keys.
Your bank account
Your gateway settles to your account on its normal schedule. No waiting for a platform payout.
Our Big Yes is never in the chain. Your gift money never routes through us, never sits in our account, and never carries our fee. 0% platform fee, always.
The maths nobody shows you.
Most platforms are free until your guests start giving. Here is what the popular options actually cost on your cash gifts.

Card gifts paid out via SnapScan when you close your registry
Competitor pricing as published on their own sites, checked 2 August 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure publicly, we say so rather than estimating. Your payment gateway still charges its standard processing fee on each gift; that is between you and your gateway, we take nothing.
One price. Everything included.
$29R399once off, everything included
$29 USD once off, anywhere in the world. South African couples pay R399.
Build everything free, take as long as you like, and pay once when you publish.
Questions couples ask.
Is it really 0%?
Our platform fee on gifts is 0%, always. Guests pay through your own payment gateway, so the only cost is that gateway’s standard card processing fee, which it charges you directly and which you would pay with any provider. We never touch the money and never take a cut.
What does once off actually mean?
You pay once when you publish your site: $29, or R399 if you are in South Africa. No subscription, no renewal, and your site does not expire after a few months like it does on some platforms.
Which payment gateways can we use for gifts?
Connect your own Stripe account and receive gifts in any currency Stripe supports. In South Africa you can connect Paystack, Yoco, PayFast or iKhokha instead. Whichever gateway you choose, it is your account: guests pay you directly, and every gift settles straight into it.
Do guests need an account to RSVP?
No. Every household gets a secure, personal link. One tap and they are on their RSVP page, no passwords, no sign-up.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes. Use a free ourbigyes.com/your-names address, or connect a custom domain like amaraanddaniel.com.
Is there more to it than the website and registry?
Yes. A full planning suite comes with every site: a planning checklist that keeps you on track, a budget tracker, your own vendor tracker with payment reminders, a seating planner built around live RSVPs, a day-of run sheet, and analytics on how your site is doing.
Do we pay before we can try it?
No. Build your whole site, load your guest list and set up your registry free. You only pay when you are ready to publish and share it.
Say yes to the easy part.
Set up your site free. Pay once when you publish.
