Class reunion field guide
Class Website Versus Social Media As Your Source Of Truth
Deciding where the official, always-current reunion details live. A practical, decision-ready class reunion playbook with the next moves, common mistakes, and answers organizers need before they commit.
Quick answer
Make one owned page the single source of truth for date, venue, price, and RSVP, then point every social post and email to it. Social channels are for reach and reminders, not for storing the details people need to trust.

Start planning freeThe decision that makes class website versus social media as your source of truth easier
Deciding where the official, always-current reunion details live. Start with a written decision, an owner, and a date for the next checkpoint. That turns a vague committee conversation into a plan people can follow and lets you explain the why to every guest.
- Put date, venue, price, and RSVP on one owned page you control.
- Link every post, email, and flyer back to that single page.
- Update the page first whenever anything changes, then announce the change.
What experienced organizers avoid
Most reunion stress comes from making promises before the constraints are clear. Protect the guest experience by surfacing the tradeoffs early, documenting the decision, and giving people one reliable place to find the latest answer.
- Keeping key details only in social posts means they get buried and go stale.
- Posting different prices or times across channels destroys classmate trust.
- Relying on a platform you do not control risks losing everything if it changes or locks you out.
Turn the decision into a shared plan
Use one shared source of truth for the people, money, timing, and messages behind this decision. The organizer should not be the only person who knows what was agreed or what happens next.
- Assign one owner and one backup for the next action.
- Put the deadline and the decision in the guest-facing update.
- Review the result after the reunion so next time starts smarter.
Frequently asked questions
When should we decide class website versus social media as your source of truth?
Decide it before you ask guests to commit to a date, price, or travel plan. If it affects cost or attendance, make it one of the first three organizer decisions.
Who should own this decision?
Choose one accountable organizer, then ask the people affected by the decision for input before the deadline. Consensus is useful; an unowned decision is not.
How should we communicate the final plan?
Send a short update with the decision, what guests need to do, and a single place to check details. Repeat it at the RSVP deadline and in the final week.
