The invitation is the easy part.
Sending the invitation takes an afternoon. Planning the reunion takes months. Managing the money, the food, the activities, the t-shirts, the lodging, the schedule, and the family politics takes a small team and a lot of patience.
Evite solves one afternoon. Grove solves the whole year. And when the reunion ends, you publish a capsule for the family and write the next organizer a handoff brief so they do not start from scratch.
