Is it possible to withdraw money from the wedding fund in multiple installments?

Yes, absolutely. You don’t need to wait until the end of the celebrations or the big day to use the money. Withdrawing funds never closes your wedding fund. The newlyweds can access the donations progressively, for example to pay wedding vendors (caterer, photographer) or book the honeymoon, by choosing:

  • A direct transfer to your personal bank account.
  • The purchase of Amazon.fr gift cards.
How to get the guest list to send your wedding thank-you cards?

To make things easier after the big day, the Lydia app centralises all the data. The newlyweds can view the complete money pot history at any time. You will find there:

  • The first and last name of each participant.
  • The exact amount of their contribution.
