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.
