Frequently Asked Questions
The guide for future brides and grooms, in questions
When should I start using the Guide?
As early as possible, ideally twelve to eighteen months before the date. The most crucial decisions — the season, the venue, the overall budget — are made in the first few months and determine everything else.
Is it a book to read or a notebook to fill in?
Both. It can be read to understand and anticipate, and annotated to record your decisions, quotes, and contacts. This is what distinguishes it from a planner: it keeps track of your organization.
Who is it aimed at?
For couples who are planning their own wedding and want to do so with peace of mind. It doesn't impose any style, any standard budget, or any mandatory list: it provides a framework, you decide the content.
Is it useful if we are accompanied by a wedding planner?
Yes, and perhaps even more so. A professional performs all the better when you know how to articulate what you want. The Guide helps you arrive at appointments with the right questions.
How do I get the Guide?
It is included in the OUI Collection Pack, which brings together the Guide and the OUI Pass — access to the club and negotiated discounts with each service provider.
Is it included in the OUI Pass alone?
No. The OUI Pass gives access to the directory and discounts. The Guide is a printed book: it accompanies the Pack. Details of both options can be found on the offers page.
Why a printed version of a guide for future brides and grooms?
Apps and spreadsheets have their advantages, but many couples end up with information scattered across multiple tools. The Wedding Planner brings everything together in one place: a book you can open at each stage, annotate, and take with you to appointments with vendors.
Writing by hand also helps you gain perspective. When everything is down on paper, priorities become clearer: what truly matters to both of you, what can wait, and which budget items will benefit from a discount. The book becomes a meeting place for the couple, something they open together on Sunday evenings to reflect on the week.
What the book brings you, every day and up to the big day
A complete checklist
From choosing the date to the final confirmation before the big day, it tells you what to do and when, without worrying about forgetting a reservation or a deposit.
Pages to write everything down
Budget, guest list, contact details of service providers, decoration ideas, seating plan: each item has its place, noted in your own handwriting.
Steps not to forget
The guide also reminds you of the administrative deadlines. For the documents to submit to the town hall, please refer to the official procedures for a civil marriage.
A guide linked to the club
The €129 package includes the guide for future brides and grooms, along with the OUI Pass: two years of discounts ranging from 10% to 50% at partner businesses. Shipping costs are €0.01 within mainland France, the legal minimum for sending a book.
How to use the bride and groom's guide throughout the months
A guide is only useful if it's consulted regularly. Here's how couples get the most out of the book, from the first day of planning until the day after the wedding.
The guide for future brides and grooms is available in the Collection OUI Pack, With the OUI Pass, you get access to discounts from partner providers for two years. The two complement each other: one helps you organize, the other saves you money on every booking.
Four moments, one book
At the beginning: laying the foundations
Note down your preferences, your overall budget, and a preliminary estimate of the number of guests. These guidelines will inform all subsequent decisions, from the reception venue to the caterer, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed during the initial visits. The checklist will then indicate the first reservations to make.
During the search: centralize
Keep the book with you at every appointment. Quotes, availability, immediate impressions: when it comes time to compare two photographers or two venues, everything is in one place.
The last few weeks: check
Confirmations, balances to be settled, seating plan, schedule of the day: you check things off as you go. It's also the ideal way to share contact information and times with your witnesses.
After the wedding: preserving a memory
Once the celebration is over, the guide becomes a memento of all your preparations, annotated in your own hand. Many couples keep it carefully with their photos, while others pass it on to friends who are getting married in turn, with their favorite places and tips tucked into the margins.
