Family Reunions
What makes the MyEvent family reunion website builder better than any other website builder for your family reunion?

How does a premium MyEvent family reunion website work?

When you start a free trial, we'll automatically create a site for you with specific pages and features for your family reunion. It only takes a few steps to customize your site.

  1. Customize your content, add pages, rename pages or remove pages to suit your needs.
  2. Set up your tickets or registration options.
  3. Invite family members to register on the site.

Family members then visit and register their profile with "Then" and "Now" photos that gets displayed on the family list. Each time a family member registers on the website, you'll receive an email notification. Visitors can then message each other through the website, view approximate locations of family members on a map, and more.
