Plan with clarity

Use Events & Tasks to keep dates, notes, attendees, and responsibilities together without group-chat chaos.

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.

Build your own family tree, not just read someone else's

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