Their names on the first screen
“Dear Sophie & Daniel” is written on the opening and stays through the film, before the invitation even plays.

What each guest sees
The same beautiful invitation for everyone, made personal at every step.
Dear Sophie & Daniel · You are invited ✨Their names on the link
In WhatsApp, the link’s card already reads “Dear Sophie & Daniel · You are invited ✨”. They know it was sent to them.
Their seats, their reply
The reply form knows them: their names are filled in, and they can answer only for the seats you kept for them. No surprise plus-ones.
A few words for Sophie & Daniel
You were there the night we met. It wouldn’t be our day without you two. 💛
A word just for them
Add a few lines for one guest: they appear on their invitation only, at the top of the details.
How it works
- Paste your guest list
One guest or family per line, straight from your notes, Excel or Google Sheets. Add the number of seats and a phone number if you like. Jovela reads it back to you before adding anything.
- Send each link on WhatsApp
One tap per guest: WhatsApp opens with your message and their link ready. With their number, it opens straight on their chat. Or copy the link for a text, Instagram or email.
- Follow every guest
Your list shows who hasn’t opened it yet, who opened it and who replied, with the number of people coming. Remind only those who haven’t answered, in one tap.

Questions
Does it cost extra?
No. Personal links are included in the one payment when you publish (from $19), for unlimited guests (up to 1,000 personal links per invitation). Creating and previewing your invitation is free.
Can I still share one link with everyone?
Yes. Your invitation’s general link keeps working: send personal links to the people you invite one by one, and the general link in a group chat if you like.
Do guests need an app or an account?
No. They open the link in their phone’s browser and reply in one tap. No app, no account, no password.
What if I misspell a name or the seats change?
Change it in your guest list at any time. The guest’s link stays the same, and their invitation shows the new name or seats the next time it is opened.
What if a guest forwards their link?
A personal link opens for whoever has it and always greets the same guest. Send each link only to its guest, and use the general link or add a new guest for anyone else.
Which greeting does each guest get?
“Dear” by default in English. In French and Spanish Jovela picks the right form for one person, a couple or a family (Cher, Chère, Chers, Querido, Querida, Queridos…). You can change it for any guest or leave it out.
Can I send the links by text message or email?
Yes. Each link can be copied for a text, Instagram, Messenger or email, and you can copy all the links at once or download your list as a spreadsheet.
Who can see my guest list?
Only you. Each guest sees only their own name and the words you wrote for them; your private notes on a guest are never shown on an invitation.
