Aurea · Wedding planningWhere your forever begins.
Aurea is a wedding planning application. Guests, budget, suppliers, tasks, invitations and the day itself — all in one place.
Built for couples in Mozambique.
About
What Aurea is
Aurea is a web application for planning a wedding, made for couples. After creating a free account, you — and anyone you give access to — get a private place where the whole wedding is organised.
- Keep and organise the guest list, grouped by invitation and by household.
- Track the budget: what is committed, what has been paid, and what is left.
- Record suppliers, their contact details, quotes and contracts.
- Create planning tasks and build the run of show for the wedding day.
- Create and publish an online invitation, and receive guests' replies there.
Aurea is available at planwithaurea.com, in Portuguese and English. It runs in the browser, with nothing to install.
The idea
Instagram is where you find them. WhatsApp is where you talk. Aurea is where the wedding lives.
None of that goes away. Venues are still discovered on Instagram and suppliers still reply on WhatsApp — Aurea opens WhatsApp with the message already written rather than inventing somewhere else to talk. What it replaces is the work of holding all of it together in your head.
Why it is different
A wedding where every part knows about the others.
The photographer exists five times over: a saved profile, a chat thread, a line in a spreadsheet, a photographed quote, and a name someone mentioned. None of those five know they are the same person. In Aurea they do — and that is what lets it say things nothing else can.
The venue and your timings
Noise has to stop here at midnight. Your party runs until 2am.
Aurea knows both halves: the venue's rule, and the time your own run of show ends. No map and no search knows when your party finishes.
An invitation is a household
Three of the four people on this invitation are coming.
Here an invitation goes to a household, not a person. A spreadsheet has one row and one status — so you either lose the detail or keep two lists.
One team, not four lists
That is the same photographer.
A supplier appears in your team, in the budget, in the run of show and in your documents — as one person, not four records that have never met.
Comparing properly
Up to 120 · below your 150.
Capacity, distance, whether outside catering is allowed, what happens if it rains. Side by side, for the venues you chose — and none of them hidden, because five minutes further away might still be worth it.
What we do not know is shown as unknown, never guessed. Every venue fact carries where it came from and when it was confirmed.
What it does
A whole wedding, without the spreadsheets.
Each part is precise on its own and knows about the others. Nothing here is a to-do list with a nicer name.
- Guests
- People grouped into invitations and households. Who is coming, who has not answered, and how many there really are.
- Budget
- What is committed, what you have already paid and what is left — with every payment recorded.
- Planning
- Tasks grouped by when, not by column. Whatever needs attention now comes first.
- Suppliers
- Your team: who you are looking for, who you have spoken to, and who is booked. With venues to discover.
- Wedding Day
- The run of show and, for each moment, who to look for. It prints, so you can hand it to the people working that day.
- Documents
- Contracts and receipts linked to the supplier and the expense they are proof of — not a folder of photographed paper.
- Invitations
- A public invitation with your name on it, and the replies arriving in your guest list.
The gallery and the gift list are not built yet. They are in the app as placeholders, and they say so.
Invitations
The invitation is a page, and the reply lands in your guest list.
You write the invitation inside Aurea — your words, your palette, your photographs — and publish it. Whoever receives it opens an address and replies right there. The reply does not sit in a chat thread: it goes straight into your guests.
- Sections you do not write simply do not appear. An invitation with your names and a date is a short, correct invitation.
- Each person in the household answers for themselves, and you can see who is still to reply.
- Portuguese or English, chosen for the invitation and independent of the language you use the app in.

The two of us
Can we count on you?
Write your name and tell us who is coming.
Who sees what
It is the same wedding, not a second one.
A spreadsheet is one person's file with a screenshot economy around it. Here you decide who comes in, and how far.
The two of you
You see and change everything. It is your wedding.
Whoever plans with you
A planner joins with access to what they need — and the budget only if you want them to have it.
Family
A deliberately reduced view: what is happening and when, without figures or contracts.
Where we are
Aurea is early, and we would rather say so.
This is a real application, in use — not a waiting list. But it is early, and some things do not exist yet. We would rather write them here than let you find them.
- We are starting with a small group of couples, in Maputo.
- The venue catalogue is being built one venue at a time, with each one's permission.
- We have no case studies, user numbers or testimonials to show you. When we do, they will be real.
Pricing
Not decided yet. When it is, it will be written here — we are not going to invent a number in the meantime.
You need an email and your names. The rest can wait.
Accounts and sign-in
Signing in with Google
You can create an account with an email address and a password, or sign in with your Google account. The Google option exists so you do not have to create another password — and that is why Aurea asks for access to your Google account.
- When you sign in with Google, Aurea receives only your name, email address and profile picture.
- That information is used solely to create your account and to recognise you when you come back.
- Aurea does not read or change anything else in your Google account — not Gmail, Contacts, Drive or Calendar.
- You can use Aurea without Google, with an email address and a password.
