How it works

From group text to a real reunion, in six steps.

One organizer creates a private family site, invites everyone with a single link, and runs voting, RSVPs, dues, and photos in one place. The whole family just taps to join. No app to download.

Step 01

How do I create our family site?

Start your private family site

Pick a name and you get your own link, like reunionbase.com/yourfamily. Set the reunion year, add a photo, and you have a home for the whole family in a few minutes. No app to download, no code, no design work.

Step 02

How do I invite everyone?

Invite the family with one link or by email

Send the invite by email from inside Reunionbase, or copy your link into the group text. Relatives tap it, add their name, and they are in. Give the treasurer and other helpers the exact access they need with roles for admin, treasurer, member, and guest.

Step 03

How do we settle the date and count heads?

Vote on the details, then collect RSVPs

Let everyone weigh in and vote on the location, date, and theme, then close the vote and lock it in. Family members RSVP going, maybe, or not going with their guest counts, so you always know exactly who is coming.

Step 04

How do we collect dues without chasing people?

Collect dues online

Members pay by card in a few taps. Payments run securely through Stripe, and each person's status updates to paid the moment it clears. See who has paid and who still owes at a glance, export it as a spreadsheet, and on Preserve and up sync it straight to QuickBooks.

Step 05

How do we share photos and news?

Share memories and keep everyone posted

Upload photos and videos into albums by year and event, tag who is in them, and build the family tree together. Post news like graduations, births, and weddings, and the family gets notified by email and web push. Sort out lodging with hotel blocks and host homes on the travel page.

Step 06

What happens after the reunion?

Come back next year

Your site, your members, your photos, and your family tree stay right where you left them. Next reunion year you set a new date and pick up where you left off, instead of starting the group text over from scratch.
