Plan with clarity

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

Must‑haves

  • Travel and stay doc (addresses, links)
  • Meal plan or potluck sheet
  • Photos thread and recap post‑event

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.

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.

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.
Private by default

A quiet recap of what you missed

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 you
    New photos, upcoming birthdays, tasks with your name on them.
  • Only what you can see
    Permission-scoped to your own account — nothing more.
  • Read-only
    It summarises. It never posts, edits, or changes anything.
