Planing a reunion?

Organizing a reunion — whether it’s a class reunion, a family gathering, or a get-together among long-lost friends — can be both rewarding and complex. While the idea often starts with excitement and nostalgia, the practical side of planning quickly reveals several challenges.


Key Aspects to Keep in Mind


Finding the Right Date

Coordinating schedules is one of the most time-consuming parts of reunion planning. Participants are often spread across different cities, time zones, and personal commitments.


Choosing a Suitable Location

A good venue should balance accessibility, cost, and the type of atmosphere that fits your group. For many events, it's helpful to offer multiple location suggestions and let the group vote.


Inviting and Communicating

Clear, consistent communication is essential — from sending initial invitations to sharing updates, reminders, and last-minute details.


Managing Tasks and Participation

Who’s responsible for organizing the venue, collecting responses, or managing travel logistics? Without structured coordination, important details can fall through the cracks.


The Role of Digital Tools

Given the variety of tasks involved, many organizers turn to digital tools for support. These can range from general-purpose communication platforms to specialized event planning apps. The right tool can significantly reduce the effort required — and help ensure nothing gets overlooked.


Which Tool Fits Best?

To evaluate current options, Singduel conducted an independent review of several tools commonly used for reunion planning. The focus was on:


  1. Feature set (RSVP, polls, communication, etc.)
  2. User experience
  3. Flexibility and customization
  4. Accessibility (web/mobile, ease of joining)
  5. Suitability for group events like reunions.

Here’s a summary of the results:
