+ Plan the whole wedding.
Without the tools disagreeing.
+
+ + Seat your guests and one click puts every table number on the place cards. Move the ceremony and the whole day moves with it. + Eleven planning tools, one wedding, and your guest list never has to leave your laptop. +
+ +No account, no password, no card. Open it and start.
+
+ 📄
+One wedding, one document
+Most apps keep a separate copy of your guest list in every feature. Trousseau keeps one, and every tool reads from it.
+🔁
+Change it once
+Correct a name and it's corrected on the seating plan, the place cards and the job sheets. Nothing to retype.
+🚩
+Catches what falls between
+Two dates for one wedding, a table over capacity, a confirmed guest with no seat: flagged before the day, not on it.
+Try the idea right here
+These little demos work the same way the real tools do. The real ones are free, one click away.
+Pick a guest, then pick a table. Their place card takes the table from the room, and the dietary count keeps up.

+Seated so far
+ +Move the ceremony. 📌 blocks are pinned to a time; the rest follow what comes before. Drinks are allowed to run as short as 45 minutes before anything collides with dinner.
+ +Tick off what's paid. Suppliers, what they cost, what's paid, and what's still to find, against your budget.

+And here's the real thing
+Recorded in the app, with the example wedding from the guided tour.
+"Free" isn't the same as free
+Commercial wedding apps have to make money somewhere. Trousseau doesn't, so there's nothing to sell you.
+| + | Typical commercial wedding app | +Trousseau | +
|---|---|---|
| Paid for by | Adverts, vendor leads, registry commissions, upsells | Nothing. There is no paid tier, and never will be |
| To get started | Create an account | Open it. No account needed |
| Your guest list lives | On their servers | In your browser, unless you choose to sync |
| Seating ↔ cards ↔ run sheet | Separate features, separate copies | One document, so nothing is typed twice |
| Place cards | Often sold as printed stationery | Print your own, table numbers included |
| Take your data with you | Varies | The whole wedding, as one file |
| Run your own copy | No | Yes. Open source (AGPL) |
| RSVPs and a wedding website | Usually, yes | No. Keep using Joy or similar, and import the RSVPs |
"Typical" describes how the category is commonly funded, not any one product. Check each app's own terms.
+The pledge
+Written into the licence and the code, not just this page.
+-
+
- i.
Free, forever.
No paid tier, no premium features, no trial. The AGPL licence means nobody can take it closed and charge for it.
+ - ii.
Your guests are not the product.
No adverts, no vendor leads, and guest data is never sold or shared for marketing. Account sync uses the storage provider described in the privacy policy.
+ - iii.
Nobody browses your wedding.
There's no admin panel and no support login. Synced weddings are encrypted at rest and walled off by database rules. That isn't end-to-end encryption, and the privacy policy says so plainly.
+ - iv.
Counting pages, not people.
The hosted site counts page visits with no cookie, cutting every address down to the page first. A copy hosted off Vercel counts nothing at all.
+ - v.
You can always leave.
Download the whole wedding as one file, in an open format. Delete your account and your data goes with it.
+
Run your own copy
+Your domain, your database, and no analytics. On your own machine it needs no backend at all. Add a free Supabase project when you want accounts and sync between devices.
