Family Reunion Itinerary Template
Everyone knows where to be and when.
A family reunion without a shared itinerary turns into a game of telephone - guests call to ask arrival times, meals start late, and half the group misses the group photo. This itinerary template gives you a day-by-day, meal-by-meal framework for a typical three-day reunion. Adjust times and events to fit your family's weekend.

Reunly Features That Help With This
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I send the itinerary?
Send a draft 2-3 weeks out and a final version 3-5 days before the event. The draft lets guests plan travel; the final version confirms all details. Avoid changes after the final send.
What's the best format to share a reunion itinerary?
A PDF shared via text or email works for most families. If your group uses an app like Reunly, the schedule is always live and updates automatically - guests don't receive a stale version.
How much buffer time should I build in?
Add 15-20 minutes of buffer between scheduled activities, especially for meals. Families with small children, seniors, or large groups always run a little behind. Overscheduling is the most common first-timer mistake.
Should I include free time?
Yes - at least 1-2 hours of free time per day. Not every family member wants to be in a structured activity the entire weekend. Free time lets people rest, catch up one-on-one, or explore the venue at their own pace.
What if the weather changes my outdoor plans?
Build a rain contingency for every outdoor event. Note it on the itinerary: 'Rain backup: main pavilion.' This prevents frantic group texts the day of when clouds roll in.
