Full review
Un Grand Jour SAS is a French company with a share capital of 1,000 EUR, SIRET 913 113 4600 0012, at 1 All de Bournonville, 59910 Bondues. The site pages also state that it is registered as a crowdfunding intermediary (IFP) with ORIAS under number 23000146.
The home page describes an all-in-one site to organise a wedding: a wedding website, a gift list with cash fund and an RSVP form. The same service is also offered for births and birthdays.
Website, gift list and RSVP
The website part lets couples present the wedding, list accommodation and a schedule, and pick a style. The RSVP part collects attendance per event, such as a cocktail and a dinner, and can ask guests for an address or specific questions.
The gift list works with or without items. Money paid into the cash fund can be withdrawn whenever the couple wants.
How the service is paid
The home page states the company is financed by a 3% + 1 EUR commission on the cash fund and that everything else is free. This is a concrete number, but it means a couple who collects 3,000 EUR hands over a visible share.
The ORIAS registration reflects that handling contributions is a regulated activity in France.
Compared with The Knot
The Knot offers a registry and vendor marketplace in the US. Un Grand Jour offers a cash-fund model priced in euro and run from France, with an interface in five languages. It offers no budget tool or vendor search on the pages we read.
Where it falls short
The commission on the cash fund applies to every contribution, and we did not read the separate pricing page. No checklist, budget or supplier search appears on the pages we read, and the data location is not stated. The terms are written in French. For planning tools see Bridebook.
Who Un Grand Jour fits
Couples in France or French-speaking circles who want a website, RSVP and cash gift fund without paying a subscription.
