You volunteered to plan the class reunion. First job: find 212 people.
Twenty-five years scatters a class across the country and three name changes. The reunion starts long before the venue — it starts with the hunt. On the plan below, the hunt is already real: a task for the missing twelve, a budget line for people-search credits, and a name tag that reads "Denise Wallace Cooper" so the 2001 faces find her.
People-search credits — $410, budgeted like any other line
The memory table, pinned before doors: four frames, white roses
One night, four acts — attendance tracked per act, check-in per act
Facebook groups find half the class. The plan hunts the rest.
Every reunion committee builds the same spreadsheet from scratch: the whole class, colored by found / maybe / missing, with a notes column full of "her sister works with my cousin." Here the hunt lives on the plan itself — and the screenshots below show it mid-chase.
The hunt board
A status per classmate — searching, found, RSVP'd, lost touch — the last-known lead on every row, and a found-counter that climbs. Cedar Ridge's chase below shows the plan side too: the missing-12 task, the people-search credits on a real budget line.
Found → invited, one tap
The moment someone's found they join the guest list and get a personal RSVP link — no app, no account, no "did anyone actually email Jessica?" Every guest card below has its copy-link button.
One committee, one plan
Five volunteers, one live plan — the hunt, the budget, the night — instead of a spreadsheet emailed around until nobody has the real one. Every volunteer gets a scoped link — their lane, nothing else.
Classmates we've lost
Handled the way it should be: the memory table is a pinned key moment before doors open, every name confirmed gently with families first — it's a real task on the plan — and white roses sit on the budget next to the medals.

The hunt board is on the plan today: every classmate a status — searching, found, RSVP'd, lost touch — the last-known lead beside the name, and a found-counter that climbs. The chase runs right next to the missing-12 task and the people-search budget line.

| The music, not a shuffle | whatever the aux cord plays | ✗ | ✓ must-play, do-not-play, the songs that matter with their moment, and requests as you collect them — paste a list straight out of Spotify or drop a spreadsheet, it de-dupes, and it prints on the DJ's sheet |

What committees ask.
We only have a 20-year-old yearbook. Where do we even start?
Type or import the names — that's the whole starting point. The class list becomes the guest list, the missing become a task with a number on it, and every "oh, I know where she is!" from the committee moves one more name over. The hunt board is built in — a status per classmate (searching, found, RSVP'd, lost touch), the last-known lead, and a found-counter that climbs.
Half our class isn't on Facebook anymore. Does that break this?
That's exactly why this exists. RSVPs are personal links that open in any browser — text them, email them, have someone's mom pass one along. No account, no app, no algorithm deciding who sees the invite.
How do we handle tickets and money?
You set the per-head price and collect on whatever your class already uses — Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, checks from the class of '86. The budget tracks every line, planned against paid; the money itself never touches us. On purpose.
Can the whole committee work in it at once?
Everyone works from the same live plan instead of emailing a spreadsheet around. Every volunteer gets a scoped link — their lane, nothing else.
What about classmates who have passed?
Gently. On the Cedar Ridge plan it looks like this: the memory table is a pinned key moment before doors open, every name was confirmed with family before anything went to print — it's a real task — and the white roses sit on the budget. Never an awkward blank row.
Is $99 per person?
No — once, for the whole reunion, committee links included. Split five ways it's $16 each. If it's not right, 30-day money-back.
