Quick answer

A reunion signup sheet works best when it is connected to the same people, households, and event reminders as the directory. The practical workflow is to define the list, collect only the fields needed, review submissions before committing changes, and export or print from the reviewed source of truth.

Start with the event

Create the reunion event with date, location, recurrence if needed, notes, and reminders before adding signup slots.

Use slots for real commitments

Slots work well for meals, setup, cleanup, activities, rides, equipment, and assignments that need a name next to them.

Ask questions with polls

When you need feedback, create date, time, single-choice, multiple-choice, or free-text polls connected to the event.

Practical checklist

  • Define the exact scope before collecting or exporting data.
  • Keep people and households separate so shared addresses are not duplicated.
  • Collect missing information with a short mobile-friendly request.
  • Review submissions before changing shared records.
  • Choose print and export fields based on the audience and privacy risk.
