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.
Start a private family space where your relatives can preserve names, photos, stories, and relationship context together.
