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, Grove assembles a capsule and hands the next organizer a brief so they do not start from scratch.
