Your guest list holds addresses, emails, dietary needs, and sometimes family tension. Most "free" wedding apps monetize through vendor attention or mandatory cloud hosting.
Here are five options ranked on: local data option, RSVP without guest account, no ads, and sync transparency.

1. Fiancé

Privacy: local data, zero ads, zero tracking
Budget: expenses, deposits, due dates, PDF/CSV export
Guests and online RSVP (public page, no guest account)
Drag-and-drop seating chart, RSVP sync, caterer PDF export
Vendors: quotes, prospect → booked status, caterer comparator
Planning: checklist, tasks, timeline tied to wedding date
One-time lifetime purchase, never a monthly subscription
Encrypted multi-device sync: iOS, Android, and web
Share the wedding with your partner
Full public page for guests (RSVP, FAQ, schedule)

2. Local spreadsheet (Excel / Numbers) + PDF invites

Full control, but no real-time RSVP or visual seating
Risk of accidental file sharing

3. MyWed

Encryption in transit, cloud account required for sync
Data hosted by publisher, classic SaaS policy

4. Mariages.net / Zankyou

Couple account required, data on marketplace servers
Vendor emails and usage profiling common

5. Notion / Trello (DIY)

Flexible, but guests in a shared workspace = leak risk
Not built for public RSVP
If you do not pay for the product and it is not open source, ask what is monetized: often your data or your attention.
