    Family reunion date poll

    Give everyone the same shortlist and one deadline. You get a clean vote, not a week of conflicting group texts.

Family reunion FAQs

A few quick answers.

What should a family reunion sign up sheet include?

Start with one job (RSVPs, potluck dishes, volunteer roles, or dues) and ask only for what that job needs: household name, adults and kids attending, dietary needs, or what each person is bringing. Idle builds it from one sentence, so each link stays simple for relatives of every age.

How early should we start planning a family reunion?

For a large summer reunion, send a date poll and save-the-date 6 to 12 months ahead. That gives relatives time to plan travel and gives organizers a useful headcount before booking.

Can one link handle a whole household RSVP?

Yes. Idle can set up the family reunion RSVP so each household answers once, with adults, kids, dietary needs, and arrival day in the same response.

Can we use a link for family reunion dues?

Yes, as a tracker. Idle puts the amount, age rules, what the dues cover, and the deadline on one link. Relatives pay however the family already collects (Venmo, Zelle, check, or cash) and check off their part, so everyone sees progress. Idle doesn’t process payments.

Is Idle free for family reunions?

Yes. Idle is completely free, with no ads and no paid plans. Every feature is included, from date polls to custom stickers, wallpapers, and fonts.

Can Idle handle more than the reunion?

Yes. Because you describe the job instead of picking a template, Idle can build holiday hosting schedules, family trip votes, chore rotations, meal trains, birthday gift collections, and anything else the family group chat is trying to sort out.

The reunion needs a date, not another thread.
