Planning a Family Reunion, the Modern Way
Plan with clarity
Use Events & Tasks to keep dates, notes, attendees, and responsibilities together without group-chat chaos.
Must‑haves
- Shared event notes and attendee list
- 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 | Confirm date and venue |
| Invite & confirm | 6–16 weeks | Send invites and confirm attendees |
| 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, invite-only family space rather than a public event page, and ask relatives before sharing photos of them anywhere outside it.
After the event: preserve highlights
Post a recap in Family Announcements, then file the best photos in Memory Lane with captions naming who is in them and where they were taken — that caption is what makes the photo findable in five years.
Start a private family space where your relatives can preserve names, photos, stories, and relationship context together.
FAQs
- How early should I start?
- 8–12 weeks for small events; 6+ months for large reunions or destination travel.
- What about guests not on Kunbaa?
- Share event details inside Kunbaa with invited relatives — no public social required.
- How do you handle budgets?
- Agree a simple budget up front and keep the running total in the event notes or a shared task, and offer opt-in activities so nobody feels pressured. Kunbaa does not process or split payments — keep the money itself wherever your family already handles it.
- How do you keep it accessible?
- Note mobility needs, step-free access, quiet zones, and dietary preferences in the event notes and plan accordingly.
Preserve stories that outlast chat threads
Organize memories with dates, people, and places inside a private family workspace.
- Context that lastsWrite who, where, and when into every caption.
- A calm timelineFind moments years later without scrolling a feed.
- Respectful privacyNo ads, no data sales.

Kunbaa writes each member a short recap of the family updates they missed — drawn from your own archive, delivered as a notification, and never used to train public models.
- Written for youNew photos, upcoming birthdays, tasks with your name on them.
- Only what you can seePermission-scoped to your own account — nothing more.
- Read-onlyIt summarises. It never posts, edits, or changes anything.
