What guests can do.
A personal schedule, published guides, people to meet, photos to share, and a concierge. Explore the portal your guests will actually use.

A few useful
answers.
Does Joy have AI features?
Yes. Joy documents a Wedding Writer and AI writing inside Messaging Plus. This comparison does not treat AI as exclusive to aiDo; it compares the particular planning and guest experiences.
Can Joy websites be customized?
Yes. Joy documents layouts, themes, colours, fonts, page ordering, and custom CSS. Explore its design controls alongside aiDo’s conversational invitation design workflow.
Do both tools collect RSVPs?
Yes. Both connect invitations or wedding pages to guest replies. In aiDo, guests can RSVP through their personal invitation link without creating an account.
Is aiDo also a shopping registry?
A retail gift registry is not part of the aiDo workflow demonstrated here. If a registry is central to your choice, explore Joy’s registry directly.
Should we move an existing wedding from Joy?
A comparison alone is not a migration plan. First identify the work you want aiDo to help with. Confirm how you will manage existing invitations, guest links, replies, and records before changing systems.
