Why Reunly wins
Why Reunly is the best family reunion planning software
A family reunion is not a one-time ticketed event. It is a guest list that keeps growing, a budget that keeps shifting, a schedule that spans days, and a dozen relatives who all need to see the same plan. Reunly was built for exactly that - one shared source of truth where every piece connects. Here is what you get.
People and RSVPs
Guest list management
Add every relative and branch of the family, track contact info and dietary needs, and watch your headcount update as RSVPs come in.
RSVPs with payment collection
Collect the reunion fee right in the RSVP and track who has paid - by card, Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. No more chasing checks or reconciling a group-text spreadsheet.
Shareable public Reunion Hub
One clean page with the date, place, schedule, and RSVP button. Guests need no account and no download - they just open the link and respond.
Planning and logistics
Schedule builder
Map out a multi-day agenda with time slots, share it with the committee, and publish it to the Hub so guests know what happens when.
Budget tracker
Line-item every cost - venue, food, T-shirts, activities - and see estimated versus actual spending and per-person cost in real time.
Meal planning
Plan the food, coordinate who brings what, and keep dietary needs from the guest list connected to the menu.
Family tree
Capture how everyone connects so first-timers can see where they fit and organizers can make sure no branch is left off the list.
Day-of and getting started
Printable Event Kit
Generate programs, name tags, local-area info, and share graphics - ready to print for the big day, no design skills required.
AI planning assistant
Tell it your reunion size, dates, and budget and it drafts a starter plan fast, so you never stare at a blank page. Adjust everything from there.
The difference
What makes it different from generic event tools and spreadsheets
Most families reach for whatever is nearby - a spreadsheet, a generic event tool, or a social media group. Each one does a piece of the job, but none of them was built for a reunion, so the pieces never connect.
Spreadsheets
Flexible, but you build everything by hand. Separate tabs for guests, budget, and schedule do not talk to each other, and sharing with the committee turns into a version-control mess.
Generic event tools
Designed for one-time ticketed events. They handle a checkout, but not the ongoing planning - no reunion-shaped guest list, no multi-day schedule, no budget that ties back to your headcount.
Social media groups
Good for chatter and photos, but no real RSVP tracking, no payment collection, no budget, and no schedule. And they force everyone onto the same platform with an account.
Reunly - built for this
Purpose-built for reunions. One shared source of truth where the guest list, RSVPs, payments, budget, schedule, meals, and family tree all connect. Approachable for a first-timer, strong enough for a large multi-day gathering, and founder-led and responsive when you need help.
