Family reunions
Built for the way your family
actually works.
Your family has branches, a potluck tradition, elders who hold the stories, and a hosting rotation that nobody wrote down. Grove gives all of that a real place to live, so the person doing the planning isn't doing it alone.
Start planning your reunionYour branches. Your history. Your rules.
Most families aren't one flat list. They're branches: the Atlanta side, the Detroit cousins, Grandma Ruth's line. Grove lets you set up your branches once, and that structure carries forward every year. Each branch gets its own channel, its own RSVP count, and its own place in the story.
Branches carry over
Set them up once. They persist across reunions so you never have to rebuild the family tree from scratch.
Branch channels
Each branch gets its own communication space. The Texas crew can coordinate without flooding the main thread.
Branch Olympics
Track scores and standings by branch. Tug-of-war, trivia, relay races. The leaderboard updates live.
The potluck board knows what's still missing.
You set the categories: mains, sides, desserts, drinks, paper goods. Family members claim what they're bringing. Grove tracks what's covered and what still has gaps, so you don't end up with seven macaroni salads and no cups. The organizer sees the full board. Everyone else sees what's still needed and can claim a slot in two taps.
Some people hold the family's history.
Grove helps keep it.
The Memory Wall is where the family's stories live. The grandmother who started the reunion. The ancestor wall with names and photos going back generations. Audio from Uncle Ray's speech. The sweet potato pie recipe that nobody was supposed to share. Grove turns all of that into an archive that grows every year and belongs to the whole family.
Whose turn is it? Grove keeps track.
In a lot of families, branches take turns hosting. But nobody remembers whose year it is, and the handoff always happens too late. Grove tracks the rotation, sends a two-year notice so the next host can start early, and passes forward the notes from whoever ran it last: vendor contacts, what worked, what to skip.
Set the order once
Define the rotation by branch. Grove remembers the sequence and advances it automatically after each reunion.
You're up next
The next hosting branch gets notified two years out, so they have real lead time instead of a last-minute scramble.
Notes travel forward
Vendor contacts, budget baselines, lessons learned. The outgoing host leaves a briefing so the next one doesn't start from zero.
Pass, defer, co-host
Life happens. A branch can pass their year, defer, or split hosting duties with another branch. Grove adjusts the rotation.
The reunion page is what they actually see.
When family members get the link, they land on a public reunion page with everything they need: the date, the location, the schedule, and a way to RSVP. No app to download, no account to create. They get a personal link that works on any device, and on the day of the reunion, the same page becomes the live hub: announcements, schedule updates, and the potluck board.
