PlanMe organises a reunion the way families show up: by household. Put each family under a head guest, invite them to the parts of the weekend they're coming to, and track a separate RSVP and headcount for the picnic, the dinner and the brunch. Record [who is staying where](https://www.planme.club/features/hotel-management), share the schedule, and split the to-do list among cousins. Free during beta.

The problem

## Where planning usually breaks

- Counting heads by family
  One aunt answers for six people, another for two, and the total in the group chat never adds up.
- Not everyone stays the whole weekend
  Some families come only for the dinner, so a single headcount over-orders food for the picnic.
- Who is staying where
  Out-of-town relatives spread across hotels and spare rooms, and nobody has the full list.
- One organiser doing everything
  The planning lands on one person because there is no shared list of who is handling what.

How PlanMe helps

## What reunion organisers use in PlanMe

- Households with a head guest
  Group each family under one head guest, so one person can answer for everyone in their household.
  [Guest management](https://www.planme.club/features/guest-management)
- An RSVP for each part of the weekend
  Each activity is a festivity in PlanMe with its own date, place and headcount. Families only see the parts they're invited to.
  [Festivities](https://www.planme.club/features/festivities)
- Hotel stays in one list
  Add hotels and room types, and record which household stays where and on which dates.

  [Schedules](https://www.planme.club/features/festivities)
- Tasks shared with cousins

In practice

## Example: a three-day reunion and anniversary

A family plans a reunion around their grandparents' anniversary: an arrival dinner, a picnic with games, the anniversary dinner and a farewell brunch. Every household is invited to the parts it can make, and each part shows its own count, so the brunch is planned for 40 while the anniversary dinner is planned for 88.

An Airport Transportation form shows who needs a ride, the hotel list shows which families share a hotel, and three cousins each own a slice of the checklist. A text goes out only to the households still marked pending.
