Quick Answer
How Does Reunly Work for Family Reunion Planning?
Create a free account, name your reunion, set your date and guest count, and Reunly's AI assistant Rosi builds a starter plan in 60 seconds. Then manage your guest list, collect RSVPs, track budget, and build your schedule - all in one place.
Your First 10 Minutes in Reunly
If you've ever signed up for a planning tool that promised to save time but then asked you to spend 90 minutes setting it up, you know the trap. Reunly is built around a 10-minute time-to-first-value. Here's what those minutes actually look like:
The Real Workflow Across Your Planning Months
Reunly is designed for the months between setup and event day. Here's how the tool flexes to match what you're doing at each phase:
Use the Smart Wizard to lock candidate dates. Invite committee members to your workspace - they get view-only or edit access. Build initial budget skeleton. Track venue research in the venue notes area.
Send invitations directly from Reunly with one-click RSVP links - no account required for guests to respond. Watch the live headcount update. Use the per-meal attendance tracker to know how many to feed at each event. The budget recalculates per-head as RSVPs change.
Build the day-of schedule with time blocks. Generate printable name badges with the registration table flow. T-shirt size totals roll up automatically from RSVP responses. Mark vendor deposits paid; the budget shows committed vs. remaining.
Use the payment status filter to see who's RSVP'd but hasn't paid; send a reminder in 2 clicks. Export your final headcount to your caterer. Print the day-of run sheet. Share the schedule with all committee members.
Reunly works on your phone. Check off arrivals at the registration table. Reference the run sheet. Take photos and upload to the shared album. Mark tasks complete as the day progresses.
Send thank-you emails to all attendees. Export the final budget vs. actual for your records. Reunly archives the reunion data so the next organizer (often the next-generation family member) inherits a working template instead of starting from scratch.

How It Works: Step by Step

Go to app.reunly.io and sign up with your email address. No credit card, no subscription required to start.
Tell Rosi about your reunion
Reunly's AI assistant Rosi asks a few questions: reunion name, expected date, approximate guest count, location type (backyard, park, venue), and rough budget. Takes about 2 minutes.
Rosi generates your starter plan
In about 60 seconds, Rosi creates a customized planning timeline, a task checklist organized by how far out you are from the event, a budget breakdown estimate, and a suggested day-of schedule.
Build your guest list
Add family members one by one, import from a spreadsheet, or invite family to self-register. Track contact info, family branch, dietary notes, and RSVP status for each guest.
Send invitations and collect RSVPs
Send invitations directly through Reunly or share a link. As guests respond, your confirmed headcount updates in real time. This flows into your budget and food planning automatically.
Track your budget
Enter budget line items for venue, food, activities, T-shirts, and more. Reunly calculates estimated vs. actual spending and shows your cost per person as the headcount changes.
Build your day-of schedule
Map out your agenda with time slots - arrival, meals, activities, group photo, evening program. Share the schedule with your committee and with guests before the event.
Share with your committee
Invite committee members to access your Reunly plan. Everyone sees the same guest list, budget, and schedule - no more scattered emails and outdated spreadsheets.
What Problem Reunly Solves
Before Reunly, family reunion planning happened across a dozen different tools: a Facebook group for communication, a Google Sheet for the guest list, a separate spreadsheet for the budget, emails for RSVPs, a notebook for the schedule. Nothing talked to anything else. The organizer carried all the information in their head and spent more time answering "who's coming?" and "what's the plan?" than actually planning.
Reunly brings everything into one place. When an RSVP comes in, it updates the headcount, which updates the per-person cost estimate. When you add a budget line item, it flows into the total. The schedule, guest list, and budget all live together - so you always have the full picture without hunting through different files.

Reunly Questions Answered
How do I start using Reunly?
Go to app.reunly.io and create a free account with your email address - no credit card needed. Once you're in, name your reunion, enter your expected date and guest count, and Rosi (Reunly's AI assistant) will build a customized starter plan in about 60 seconds.
What is Rosi in Reunly?
Rosi is Reunly's AI planning assistant. She asks a few questions about your reunion - size, date, location type, budget - and generates a customized starter plan including a timeline, checklist, budget estimate, and suggested schedule. You can then edit everything to match your specific situation.
Can my planning committee use Reunly too?
Yes. You can invite committee members to view and collaborate on your reunion plan. Each person can see the guest list, budget, and schedule. This replaces the scattered emails and group texts that typically slow down reunion planning committees.
What does the first 10 minutes in Reunly look like?
Minute 1: sign up with email at app.reunly.io. Minute 2: name your reunion ('Smith Family Reunion 2026'). Minute 3–4: Rosi asks 5 short questions (date, size, location type, budget, formality). Minute 5: Rosi generates your timeline, checklist, and budget skeleton. Minute 6–8: review the generated plan, edit anything. Minute 9–10: add your first 5 family members or paste a contact list. You're done with onboarding; the rest is gradual fill-in as you plan.
How long until I see real value from using Reunly?
Immediate value comes from Rosi's starter plan - within 10 minutes you have a real timeline you can show your family. Bigger value lands at three points: when your first 10 RSVPs come in (the live headcount feature pays for itself), when the budget tracker catches an over-budget category at month 4, and on event day when you have a single shared run-sheet instead of scattered group texts.
