Planning a family reunion can feel overwhelming — but with Reyoonite, it’s easier, more organized, and a whole lot less stressful. This guide walks you through every major step, from creating your reunion to collecting payments and booking vendors.
Whether you're the only planner or part of a committee, this is your roadmap.
Step 1: Create Your Reunion
Start by creating your reunion on Reyoonite. You’ll name your reunion, set the target dates, and invite others to help you plan. You can also wait to add these details.
Step 2: Set Up Your Planning Committee
You can plan solo, but most reunions are better with help. Invite trusted family members to join your committee. Committee members have full access to view all planning pages and can:
Add events and activity vendors
Track payments
Message the group
Plan travel accommodations
Much more
Tip: You can promote any regular member to a committee role later on.
Step 3: Invite Your Family Members
Send out invites via email or text message using the single invite form, or add everyone at once by uploading a .csv file. Once they accept your invitation, invited members can:
Create a profile
Add their spouse or children
View all reunion details
Opt into events and pay online
Pay their dues
Step 4: Build Your Itinerary
Now it’s time to plan what your group will actually do. You can:
Create events (like the welcome dinner or talent show)
Browse and add optional activities (like skating, waterparks, or city tours)
Manage all details of the itinerary and make public so your members can opt-in
Each event or activity can have its own cost, RSVP deadline, and pricing.
Step 5: Collect Dues
Reyoonite dynamically calculates how much each member owes based on the events they've opted into. You can:
Set payment deadlines
Offer sponsorships or financial aid
Accept donations
Track who’s paid and who hasn’t
All payments are securely captured via Stripe.
Step 6: Find and Confirm Vendors
Looking for a venue, caterer, DJ, photographer, or something else? Reyoonite’s vendor marketplace lets you:
Send inquiries
Receive quotes
Confirm bookings
Pay vendors securely
You can also invite vendors you know to be part of Reyoonite's platform.
Step 7: Coordinate Travel & Lodging
You can select a group hotel or vacation rental for your reunion. Members can:
Book through Reyoonite or add their own plans
Have hotel costs added to their reunion dues
See where others are staying
Manage every piece of travel planning. Suggest accommodations and track who has plans and who does not.
Step 8: Keep Your Group Informed
Use built-in communication tools to:
Send group messages or announcements in message channels
Run polls for decisions (e.g., “Which park should we go to?”)
Let members ask questions or chat with the committee
Step 9: Finalize the Plan and Celebrate
As the reunion date approaches, Reyoonite helps you:
Confirm final RSVPs and payments
Lock in vendor services
Share the itinerary with everyone
Automate last-minute reminders
Then all that’s left is to show up and enjoy time with your people.
