Events and activities both appear in your reunion itinerary, but they serve different purposes and work differently in Reyoonite. Understanding the distinction will help you plan more effectively and set accurate expectations for members.

When to Use Each One
Use an event when you’re creating the main reunion gatherings, especially if they involve multiple services or custom elements.
Use an activity when you want to offer optional, vendor-ready experiences for members to enjoy without additional planning.
Events: The Main Building Blocks of Your Reunion
Events are multi-faceted plans created by your committee. They can be built from scratch or added from the marketplace as templates.
Marketplace events are templates with placeholder vendor services, estimated costs, and a suggested structure.
They’re ideal for big moments like your welcome dinner, family field day, banquet night, or farewell brunch.
Events can include one or multiple vendors which all services add up the different pricing structures (per-person, flat group rate, or free).
Placeholders are ideas only — they must be replaced with real vendor bookings before the event is confirmed.
Example:
A “Family Picnic in the Park” event might include:
Venue (the park)
Catering
a DJ
Equipment rentals (stage, games, chairs, and a bounce house)
Activities
Activities are Fun, Ready-to-Book Experiences that are generally single-vendor, ticketed experiences that members can do together or individually.
No DIY setup — they’re turnkey experiences provided by the vendor
Often things you’d find on Groupon or TripAdvisor
Can be planned by the committee or directly booked by members
Pricing is per person only
Example:
A “City Sightseeing Bus Tour” activity includes the vendor service, ticket price, and all necessary arrangements — you just confirm the booking.
