General Questions (5)
The most common questions about Our Bridal Fund's fundraising pages.
How does it work?
Our Bridal Fund makes it simple and easy for engaged couples to raise money online for weddings, honeymoons, or their lives after the ceremony. In just 15 minutes or less, fundraisers can create a campaign, share it with family and friends, and start raising money. There's no upfront fees, penalties for not reaching milestones, and gifts are paid directly to the couple.
Can I edit my fundraiser?
Absolutely! After you've created your campaign, you'll have access to a fundraiser dashboard where you can edit anything in your fundraiser. You can even add, delete, and reorder your milestones without consequence - the milestone progess will adjust automatically.
Do I have to buy the milestones I list on my fundraiser?
No. Gifts are paid directly and immediately to you. Your donors will assume you're using the fund to purchase the milestones listed, but you're not required to.
How long do fundraisers stay active?
Fundraisers stay active for two weeks after the wedding, then are closed.
Are there any penalties for not reaching our goal?
No. Feel free to add as many milestones as you want - dream big, and you might just be surprised at what people give!
Pricing Questions (5)
Answers about pricing, fees, and how you recieve funds.
What does Our Bridal Fund cost?
It's free to create and share your campaign, but Our Bridal Fund deducts a 6% fee from each donation automatically. This is an inclusive price, meaning that WePay fees are included unlike GoFundMe.
How does the cost compare to other crowdfunding sites?
Our Bridal Fund usually costs quite a bit less. GoFundMe's inclusive price is 7.9% + 0.30 per transaction, compared to Our Bridal Fund's flat 6%. Other wedding sites like Wedandgo charge between 10-15%!
Be careful when comparing prices. Many crowdfunding platforms hide the true cost, and leave out PayPal/WePay processing fees or make the donor pay additional fees. Our Bridal Fund has a competitive flat rate, and we'll never try to hide fees.
Do my donors get charged?
We'll never charge your donors. Donors pay exactly what they choose to give.
How do I get my donations?
During the setup process, a WePay account is set up for you if you don't have one already. All you have to do is confirm your WePay account, add the bank account you'd like gifts to go towards and when you want the money, and you're good to go.
How long does it take to receive donations?
From the time you tell WePay to deposit your donations, it typically takes 2-5 business days to settle in your bank account.
