For the organiser stuck in the class chat
Twenty years, three continents, and one group chat that no one reads to the end. A reunion page gives everyone the same plan and points every reply back to one list you can trust.
A reunion is easy to propose and hard to run. Dates drift, the venue changes once or twice, and replies scatter across a chat that half the class muted years ago. Someone who lives abroad hears about it late, someone else has a different date in their phone, and the final number is a guess.
The fix is not another occasion type; a reunion is a general gathering, and general gatherings are best served by one clear page and one honest list. Put the whole plan on a single shareable link, and let every reply land somewhere you can actually read, no matter which time zone the person is typing from.
Five settled lines stop most of the questions before they arrive in the chat.
Load the people you are trying to reach, and each yes matches a name. You see the replied and the silent separately instead of tallying from memory.
Decide how many people each classmate may bring, and the reply respects that, so the headcount stays honest without you arguing over text.
The people who never answer can be nudged straight from the list, over WhatsApp or email, so chasing stops being a personal favour you owe twice.
To be clear: a reunion is not one of our dedicated occasion sites, which are weddings, birthdays, baby showers and graduations. A reunion uses the same general page and reply list that any gathering uses, and that is exactly what it needs. Describe the evening and you get a page to edit, then one link that keeps spreading the correct plan.
How it works
The date, the venue, the rough order of the night, and the reply-by day. Even if a detail or two may move, start from what is true now.
Describe the reunion to Jitabi on WhatsApp, or shape it in the web app. It lays out the details and the reply flow together as a draft you edit.
Enter who you are trying to reach so each confirmation matches a name, then set the companion rule and the date to answer by.
Post the one link in every class chat. Watch names tick, remind the quiet ones from the list, and update the page once if the plan moves.
Questions
Not as a dedicated occasion. A reunion is treated as a general gathering and uses the same event page and reply list as other get-togethers, with the wording and details set by you.
Yes. There is one link that opens on any phone or laptop, and every answer lands on the same list. It does not matter which time zone someone replies from; you read one running count.
You can password-protect the site and share the password with the classmates you have actually invited, so a forwarded link does not open it to everyone else.
The list separates the replied from the outstanding, and reminders to the quiet ones go out over WhatsApp or email from inside the list, so you are not messaging each person by hand.
Yes. You can add collaborators at different access levels, so a second organiser helps manage the list without everyone having the same permissions.
If someone's plans change, their reply updates the same record rather than adding a second entry, so the count stays honest without you rebuilding the list. You still edit the page itself whenever the venue or date moves.
Get Started
Put the reunion on a page everyone reads the same way, and let replies gather on a list you can actually count. The chat stays for the memories; the plan lives here.
