Planning a Family Reunion, the Modern Way
Plan with clarity
Use Event Composer to poll dates, draft a checklist, and send considerate reminders without group‑chat chaos.
Must‑haves
- Shared calendar and RSVP form
- Travel and stay doc (addresses, links)
- Meal plan or potluck sheet
- Photos thread and recap post‑event
| Timeline | When | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Decide scope | 12–24 weeks | Guest list, budget, location shortlist |
| Pick dates | 8–20 weeks | Run a date poll; confirm venue |
| Invite & RSVP | 6–16 weeks | Send invites; set RSVP deadline |
| Plan logistics | 4–12 weeks | Lodging blocks, ride‑shares, accessibility |
| Finalize schedule | 2–6 weeks | Agenda, meal plan, roles |
| Gather photos | During/after | Shared album, recap, thank‑yous |
Roles to assign
- Coordinator (overall plan)
- Treasurer (budget, reimbursements)
- Logistics (travel, lodging, accessibility)
- Food lead (menu, potluck, allergies)
- Media lead (photos, recap, permissions)
Privacy‑first sharing
Keep invites and updates inside your private family space. Control visibility per post, and ask for consent before sharing photos publicly.
After the event: preserve highlights
Post a recap in Family Announcements, file the best photos in Memory Lane, and tag people and places for easy search later.
